PING Putter Prices...anyone paying?

The Scotty 009M is basically a copy of the new Ping Vault Dale Head.

 

I would preferr the original, all milled Dale Head with changeable weights. If only the face were traditionally milled....

 

How is a putter Cameron's made for years a copy of a NEW ping model? And yes, I know the 009 shape is a riff on the anser. Yes, Ping originated a lot of modern putter designs that pretty much every company now sells but that Vault putter is a Scotty knockoff, not vice versa. Milled construction, fancy milled face, changeable weights in the sole. Those aren't Ping innovations.

 

The TR Milled face is a Ping innovation . And it works.

The Vault face is a bit of a rip off of Machine's VMG face. Everyone borrows or steals of whatever we're calling it.

 

Very true!

Around 1995 i paid $330ish in NZ for a B60 5BZ ...so nothing changes !!!

Please search Cleveland Huntington Beach Collection. This is Amazing Value.

They copied one of every style to help you out !!!

Around xmas i bought a 3 or 4 year old copper looking Anser with a nice looking face that was some sort of insert.

The TR Cadence , and i was SEVERELY disappointed with feel.Sold soon after.

Have forgiven them slightly, recently bought i15 and G30 LS drivers .........

Except Ping paid/liscenced use of patent for VMG face,? hardly a rip-off, so there's that?

I miss the Karsten series that came out shortly after the Redwood line was released. I had both and preferred the cheaper Karsten, which retailed for roughly $100. Been hard for me to even look at another OTR Ping with the prices they command these days.

I’m a big Ping fan, but until they move away from TR grooves, I won’t even consider purchasing another Ping putter. The Redwood line was the apex of their OTR offerings and I’m fortunate to own a Redwood D66 and Starshot Anser. Throw in my BeCu and BeNi Scottsdale Ansers and I’m quite content with my current collection of Pings.

Me too, but that said, I would not shell out $300+ for a putter only to see them selling for $100 or less in the bargain barrel a year later.

 

My current flat stick is a and IWI D66 that I picked up for $60.00 last year. I love it. My backup is my dad's old bronze J-Blade.
