Yes. It looks like the milling was not up to par. They have re-tooled to make the grooves a little deeper I think. Happened about a month ago if I remember correctly.

A little shallower actually, they were a bit too deep.

I have an order in for the re-tooled CB model, It's been 2,5 weeks now and the importer didn't have any news on the delivery yet when I asked yesterday..

I also have one on order and the rep told me that I should expect it to be 15 to 20 business after sept 19th.

What is the physical difference between the straight/slight arc/strong arc version? Is there any special marks/stamp/dot on the putter?

[/quote]just different amount of toe hang and there is a sticker on the shaft that tells you which arc it is. The stronger the arch the more toe hang.

Thanks, Scratch!
One more question, assuming that I bought from eBay the straight arc, can I get it fit or changed to slight arc for instance?

[/quote]I guess you could but you would have to buy a different shaft b/c it's the shaft that changes the amount of toe hang for different strokes.

Exactly Scratch72! I have an original Ketch that was straight path, adjustable shaft. The putter has been great, but the adjustable locking mechanism got slight loose and started to have some slight movement or play in it. I asked PING to change to a fixed length shaft and also change it to a slight arc. They confirmed all of the heads are the same as far as stroke path; they just use different shafts to alter the path!

After doing more research it seems the shaft is bent after it is installed so to change shafts it would have to be done at ping.
