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. 

I know. And I’m all for that. We’re the ones that benefit. Imagine having only one version of the Anser or one version of the Odyssey 7 to choose from. This forum probably wouldn’t even exist. 
 

I just find it funny that how the sentiment you just expressed is so selectively used (in general, not singling  you out) depending on who’s doing the copying. Either form of selective outrage or completely ignoring the blatant copying.  
 

Anything Cameron is an obvious example. But also things like when Odyssey first came out with the 10 and the fighting over that with the whole Sean Toulon element. Ping totally ripped off Machine’s VMG grooves a few years back. Lots of odd examples out there.

Everyone copies everyone for sure. I'm sure if you made a diagram of what was copied from who and by who it would take forever. 

 

And if it makes the market more competitive I'm all for it. Although I'm tired of guys always saying "Oh just another Anser copy, yawn" like go make something different then.

Good looking putters

C'mon PING, bring back the B60. It's been wayyyyy too long!

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

Looks more like the Stroke Lab line

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. 

 

 

Cleveland did it before the 5k with their Frontline putters. 

And Ping WRX has had that option for years.

This please

That 2D style is really picking up some steam with Chez and Finau winning with it in consecutive weeks. The two tone topline reminds me of the old Yes! putters. Not sure I like the look of it on these though. I am partial to their all black offerings. 

[OwlPro]

Dang, have they already abandoned the PLD after one year? I love my PLD Anser 2.

[The Ultimate Hack]

Release?

This a completely different release. Probably a lower price point and more in line with the Heppler and 2021 lines. The PLD line seems to be gaining steam and I would expect to see it grow over the coming years.

Agree, I think these are their follow-up to the 2021 line-up or replacing the Heppler range.

[The Ultimate Hack]

Hopefully not adjustable. Hated that.

Pretty nice minus the versa colorways.

Meh…. Lets see more carbon and handmade looking options. 

[TheBiles]

I want that thicc Anser, but there needs to be a face balanced version!

Color scheme looking like the bettinardi Inovai. 

...and the Odyssey Stroke Lab line

[av1084]

Strong Odyssey Stroke Lab 3 vibes, which I'm personally a fan of.

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

Kushin 4 looks to be Pings response to all the WRX threads searching for a poor mans Cam Smith putter!

Anyone find out the release dates on these?

[elwhippy]

These look like cheap copies. Ping can do better than these offerings.

Every release, someone drops this. Why?

Held the Anser, Anser 2D and Tyne in hand early last week. These are replacing the 2021 line. They look real good in hand and the insert on the models that have it is apperently the PLD insert that has been offered to the tour pros (think Louis´ Voss). So firmer in the feel compared to say the Sigma lines and the 2021 line. The stock shaft is non adjustable but you can select it if you want it.

Is the 2D all black?

The head is all black. If you choose steel shaft the shaft is going to be chrome but if you choose graphite shaft it's going to be all black from my understanding!

So, you can custom order it with a graphite shaft?

 

What brand is the graphite?

Any hints as to when these will be coming to retail?
