Modern game improvement putters may have features that aid a golfer get better results in off center hits, or lessen the effect of visual alignment bias, but there can be a trade off in feel for distance.

Putters that have torque in their design require a more firm grip to prevent the putter from over-rotating during the stroke. A more firm grip can rob the player of a light feel, and make distance control and force application more difficult to achieve.

When a ball is tossed or rolled, the lightest grip possible in order to prevent the ball from falling out of the hand gives the most sensitive feedback when deciding how much force to apply to the ball to make it travel a specific desired distance.

Modern putters without torque allow for the lightest grip and best feel for distance, as well as elimination of torque induced face rotation during a stroke.
