Tour 2021 Ping putters - 2021 WGC Workday Championship (Updated w/ Specs)

[GolfWRX_Spotted]

 

Spec and FAQ's

 

MOI and Materials: The three Anser versions (Anser, Anser 2, Anser 4) combine a stainless-steel head with tungsten heel and toe weights to elevate MOI. In the Kushin 4, DS 72 and Tyne 4, a steel weight is used in the heel and tungsten is applied to the toe to better optimize the CG location. The Fetch and Oslo H join a cast 304 stainless steel body with an aluminum sole plate to position mass around the entire perimeter to create forgiving mallet-style designs. In the new CA 70, a dense stainless steel sole weight lowers the CG of the aluminum body. The Harwood delivers the highest MOI in the line due to its 6061 aluminum body and 93g tungsten weights in all four corners of the fully-machined design.

 

Dual-durometer insert for soft & solid feel: Dual-durometer PEBAX insert material and uniform, shallow grooves. The softer front layer of the insert ensures the precision necessary for shorter, delicate must-makes. The firmer back layer offers the solid feedback and distance control required for holing longer-range putts and improving overall consistency.

ANSER: The timeless Anser is heel-toe tungsten weighted for forgiveness, and the rounded corners, softer ballast surfaces and center line help make alignment easy. For slight-arc stroke types, the Anser makes squaring the face to the target line easy and natural.

KUSHIN 4: A steel weight in the heel and tungsten in the toe elevate MOI, and this “deep blade” model’s parallel and perpendicular visual cues make alignment easier. Its geometries fit the eye, and for strong-arc players the Kushin 4 promotes a confident, consistent putting stroke.

DS 72: This mid-mallet utilizes a steel weight in the heel and tungsten in the toe to stabilize the head and create high forgiveness, and the clean lines with perpendicular and parallel visual cues combine to simplify alignment. The classic Anser-style hosel promotes a slight rotation.    

Stroke Type: Slight Arc

Head Weight: 360g

Balance: Mid Hang

Availability: RH/LH

Lie Angle: 20° +-4°

TYNE 4: The distinctive design provides a balanced look at address while allowing for a steel weight in the heel and tungsten in the toe to ensure stability and make it highly forgiving and accurate. The “flow neck” hosel promotes a strong-arc stroke rotation. 

Stroke Type: Strong Arc

Head Weight: 365g

Balance: Toe Down

Availability: RH/LH

Lie Angle: 20° +-4°

Loft: 3° +3°/-2°

Std Grip: PP58 Mid

FETCH: A unique round cutout is concealed underneath for retrieving the ball with the head, and the weight saved with the cutout moved to the perimeter to increase MOI. The stainless-steel body and aluminum sole plate increase the perimeter weighting for added forgiveness, and this model fits players with a straight stroke. 

Stroke Type: Straight

Head Weight: 365g

Balance: Face

Availability: RH/LH

Lie Angle: 20° +-2°

Loft: 3° +3°/-2°

Head Weight: 365g

Balance: Mid Hang

Availability: RH/LH

Lie Angle: 20° +-4°

Loft: 3° +3°/-2°

Std Grip: PP60

HARWOOD: The Harwood is the most technically advanced model in the line, delivering stability and forgiveness by utilizing an aluminum body and tungsten weighting at each corner to drive up the MOI, while a trio of alignment lines simplify aiming from a model that can be fit for two stroke types.   

Stroke Types: Straight, Slight Arc

Head Weight: 385g

Availability: RH/LH

Lie Angle: 20° +-2°

Loft: 3° +3°/-2°

Std Grip: PP60

That Tyne 4 should make a lot of people happy. Hard to tell if it’s milled or a grooved insert though. 

[ShortSticks]

WOW, thanks for the pics.

 

The Tyne C has my interest.

It’s an insert. By the looks of the image here it seems it could be a couple layers? The shaft bends in some of those are interesting. Would love to see the heads with more neck/hosel options. I think that’s one thing that some of the other companies have really started to do quite well, that Ping just hasn’t yet decided to commit to. 

 

 

[reidcross]

Just not a fan of the white on the bottom.

[tciresi53]

Can they just release the Hovland putter?!

[MaineMariner]

Man, Lamkin's doing a really good job getting their grips on putters these days. Off to the top of my head, Taylormade, Cleveland, Bettinardi, Toulon, and now Ping have offered Lamkin Sink Fit grips as their standard grip on one of their retail lines.

 

I am not a fan of the material those Sink Fit grips use, so I hope this doesn't mean that Ping and Golf Pride are breaking up. The PP58 midsize is the best feeling rubber grip on the market, in this humble poster's opinion.

Feeling good about my decision to jump into the Heppler line.  I'm sure these putters will roll just fine, but not a fan of the aesthetics.  They have a Tommy Armour/Ray Cook/Top Flite/discount brand look about them.

It’s amazing how distracting that bottom gets when rolling the rock 🤦🏻‍♂️

Is that any reason to make it look cheap?

Ok - I will politely bow out, as I didn’t know that about white accents.

[UnderPar18]

I just feel like Ping putters keep getting uglier and cheaper looking. I’ll get backlash for this comment, but even there PLD releases IMO have been lackluster.

No, I agree.  I'll stick with my ancient stainless Pal 2.  Besides looking cheap, there is something weird looking about recent Ping neck designs at address.  They never seem to be square to the target, no matter how much I try to adjust.  

[elcgolf]

I just looked at the Odyssey thread, and then made the mistake of looking at this one. Is Ping actively trying not to sell putter? I feel like this is the golf version of the Producers. Couldn't agree more with the comments above about these putters looking cheap and having very weird necks, in particular those with the double bends. Will be sticking with my old 95 Scottsdale.

[^m9]

I'm so disappointed with these, and I'm a huge Ping fan, especially their drivers, irons, and milled putters.

 

These look like a rehashed version of their Sigma 2 line with different colours and a tweaked insert.

 

Was really hoping for a milled line and a B60 offering.

 

Guess I'm saving some cash this year, maybe for a 7 wood to replace my 3 hybrid.

 

 

[Foreleft]

Ping has so lost their way with their retail putter lines. 

[chip75]

Hate to see the nail/screw in the wall so you can hang your Fetch after 18 holes ...

I’m not gonna say white accents always make putters look cheap. But what I will say is “Spider Blade”.

Tyne 4 please!

[cbeau166]

Also, am I the only one noticing what looks like some less-than-stellar glue jobs on those inserts in the photos?

Edited February 24, 2021 by cbeau166

[MattGolfs]

Why can’t Ping just give the people what they want 😞

[thesamwise]

I love Ping gear but these are narsty.

 

It's crazy how much better their PLD stuff is.

[vman]

I remember, as I'm old, when everyone wanted a Ping putter in their bag. The old school MnBr, BeCu,Nickel and Jas Anser putters, Ti pixels and Isoforces. They somehow got a little left behind by Odyssey and Scotty Cameron amongst others. I don't think these are going to change the game for them either. It's funny but it seems that Ping make one of the poorest looking Anser putters now which seems ridiculous.

I have already had a say on these putters on another page. I am a huge Ping fan,( 30+ years, if Ping made it i have probably played it.) but their putters of late just look cheap to me. Glad I have a PXG putter on order, and with the lack of new irons coming from Ping , I can see myself heading to all PXG in my bag this year.

Agree as well. I put an old Redwood Anser back in the back this year and it looks better than any of the retail or PLD releases of late, imo.

[jokerusn]

I'm obviously in the minority so far but I really like these.  Especially the DS72.

[Konklifer]

My B60 is safe, but I do like the DS 72.

[Gohigh]

I dont understand how PING could do so well with design of G425's understated and stealthy look...

 

Only to make their putter so busy and distracting... Makes it look cheap.

I didn't even think of that, but now that I read this... I cannot un-see a Sports Authority Top Flite putter.

[RainShadow]

Just picked up a Vault 2.0  ZB Stealth.

First modern ping putter I've owned.

Soft but rsponsive feel. Seem's to roll the ball well.

At least some of the newer lines are a little heavier.

I think the Heppler line looks hideous.
