PHOTOS: 2019 Ping PLD Putters

[chip75]

I'd say these look groovy ... smoothy?

[falken19150]

Holeeee Foook………..

[Fish-N-Chips]

I'd pay $350 for the Tyne or the Anser 5 yesterday. @MartyJertsen DO YOU HEAR ME

[falken19150]

$350??…….I'd pay $3,500 haha

[ProjectX_Mizuno]

Wow! Those are fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ivyguy]

 

 

Is that really the best they could do on paint fill on a putter they set out to try and woo the best players in the world into? If someone sent me such a halfWord not allowed job I'd turn it around immediately and I suck at golf. Also I can't believe the sole wear on a couple of those Thynes. I've got a black wing style mallet I gamed for 2 years that shows no sole wear are the pros really picking these things up and putting with them that much? Or is Ping's black finish that easily wore?

 

**Don't let this post distract you from the fact I'd give a kidney to own one of those slant neck Thynes.**

 

Whoa! Bro! Calm down.

 

The pros dont care. Tools, not jewels.

[ProjectX_Mizuno]

Will these be available to the public?

[Konklifer]

Will these be available to the public?

 

It doesn't seem likely, but they have dedicated headcovers, so maybe some info at the PGA show next week.

[agood3putt]

fingers crossed....

[drvrwdge]

Slant neck porn.

[GeorgeHWB]

I demand that these be released to the public!

[ebrasmus21]

That Tyne slant neck makes me moist

 

What you’re feeling is called love.

[jtitleist12]

That PLD Tyne with the double bend shaft would go straight in my bag!

[Wdwfreak]

Double bend mini Tyne that Champ won with is ?? I love the simplicity.

[uggenjigmey407]

It is very clean putter. I would game with one.

[Medson]

Wow, haven’t seen a smooth faced putter for ages.

[Fish-N-Chips]

Wow, haven't seen a smooth faced putter for ages.

 

I can't think of the last line Ping released with a smooth face. G2 maybe?

[cardoustie]

Ping seems to be moving towards limited stuff to suit top players, like these putters and the Blueprints. I'm on board if guys like us can get their filthy mittens on some

[Mr. Grumpy]

Nope! Not bite'n. Not getting my hopes up.

[GeorgeHWB]

That PLD Tyne with the double bend shaft would go straight in my bag!

 

If I had one it would go straight in the trash. Anser 2 is the way to go.

[Mr. Grumpy]

Ok,,, I've slept on it and now I am obsessed. I just retired my old ping, also with a smooth face, as it was feeling too light after my tinkering with other putters..

 

Saving pennies now just in case..

:taunt:

[Katke87]

Where are the face tech nazis?

 

Right here! :busted_cop: Sigma G Tyne forever!!

[Sean289]

This line is the one of the few putter lines that I would pay stupid money for.

[Mclancy94]

Any update from anyone at the show on these?

[Fish-N-Chips]

Haven't seen them on social media anywhere. The blueprint irons were seen in the flesh, so hoping someone can fill us in on PLD's too .

[ColinKelvin]

Bumping this thread - does anyone know if there is the slightest glimmer of hope that these will be made available to the public?

 

If (as seems likely) they will not, I have to say it's a sad day - once upon a time (and for a loooong time), Ping was one of the few companies which didn't pay pros to use their putters. Ping clubs were made for all golfers and (notwithstanding Jim Wells/WRX modifications), the pros played what anyone could buy in a shop. These days, they're releasing ranges for the masses and we get glimpses of special models made exclusively for pros only. Poor show.

1980-2016 PING - Yeah this is PING WRX, whaddya want? We'll do it for you.

 

1980-2016 other OEMs - Sorry that's tour only, get outta here you filthy bum.

 

------------

 

Current day PING - Sorry those putters are tour only. Nice try though.

 

Current day other OEMs - What sort of Spider do you want? Blue? Gold? We'll sell you whatever you want!

I've got to assume they're just being tight lipped with these. The new grooves we've seen on Bubba's putter might be part of a new premium line.

I really hope so (and the headcovers maybe hint at a release). But I have a bad feeling about it - as their high-end line, Vault 2.0 was released pretty recently, and Ping's tour pros have been playing PLD prototypes for a long while now, without any sign of retail offerings. As Nova6868 rightly says above, Ping is making a reputational mistake (which contradicts their history and reputation) if they move to one range for tour pros, and a different one for customers.
