Woah.

 

Love this. Especially that first one.

 

It looks.. blacker than black?

 

The engineers were talking about super-black material coating a few years ago. It plays with the flatness of appearance. It'll be interesting if there's a coating here.

[MR. MP67]

Questions. 1- fixed length or crappy adjustable?  2- is Ping still using the three are system (strong, slight and straight)? Grips? I've got my wallet out for a 34" fixed length, straight arc Ping Tyne G. Just let me know when and where these bad boys will be available. 

[karstens_ghost]

Also, if I ever do a PLD, I'd do that Tyne G with a "cover" a la the 2021 Fetch, and then add Rife "bars" on the outside for perimeter mass.

Dupe / please delete.

Silly me to forget the Cleveland Frontline series of putters 

The current Ping putter line also has tungsten in the face.

[easylittle5wood]

Reminds me of PRGR putters with the silver fronts. 

[braincramp52]

These will never replace my PLD but they look damn nice. Great job Ping!

Interesting... do you think the coating would affect feel on impact at all?

[Brobespierre]

Color scheme reminds me a bit of Yes! putters.

 

Interesting to me that here appears to be a face insert on the models with the black face and horizontal grooves on the models with the chrome face.

 

Curious about the specifics of that.

Definitely the most curious thing about these. 

[mtcowdog]

Kushin 4 looks good. I will be curious to see these in person. 

[SUPERG]

Ping has great shapes, and tech. But can they figure out finish and logos? looks a little cheap

[scott406]

PING  has not made a Kushin with a double bend shaft since the Sigma G line and that continues in this line too Unfortunately for me.

 

 

[Byrdman2230]

These look really good. I bet they’ll sell well. 

[WiscoLefty]

Color scheme looking like the bettinardi Inovai. 

[Red4282]

Are these going to be available for retail?

My guess is for feel it's a pea under 10 mattresses.

[Scotty1140]

So they copied the Odyssey Versa line. Nothing special here.

Except milled face and no mushy insert

Welp, that Kushin 4 is EXACTLY what I would design if given the chance. The Versa alignment, top sight line, slant neck, wide body blade... that's my putter. That's what I want. If this comes to retail, I'll be camping out at Golf Galaxy on release day.

That Kushin 4 is probably the fist OTR I'd actually consider buying in a long time. Not sure how I feel about that 2 tone finish.

Glad to see I wasn't alone in thinking that one was the winner of this lineup.

And Odyssey copied the Anser, the circle of putter copying is complete. 

[Dill Pickleson]

Is it me or is the "ping" unusually small on this one?

Except for the colors, materials and head shapes. But, yes, other than that there’s nothing new here.

Perhaps it's really loud?

When did PING release the Specify series?

Everyone did haha

And now everyone is copying the Spider. It's just how it goes I guess. No one is reinventing the wheel just making it shiner and more expensive.

2003, which was three or so years before Odyssey's Versa line. They called the stainless steel alignment to black body the "Optigraphic Effect." It looked exactly like this putter line.

 

Sidenote, the Ping book for sale on their website is a must buy for equipment nerds and Ping fans.

It's regular size. You should see how big the putter is. 🙂
