Ping Karsten Craz-E

For golfers preferring the performance of a steel face with an insert feel, the Ping Craz-E putter meets the criteria. An elastomer insert in the cavity provides enhanced feel while maintaining the solid response of a steel-faced putter. Weight savings from the new cavity shapes were redistributed to the perimeter to increase each putter's MOI (moment of inertia) for added forgiveness.

I have one of these on order. Being customized. I'll chime in after I give it a whirl.

Well, I've played a few rounds with this putter and I LOVE this thing! The balance is superb and lining up with my target is about as hard as breathing. The alignment aids are great. For the money, this is a terrific bargin. I was considering buying a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 but it would be silly of me to putt with anything except this putter.

I actually had the an older Craz-E, with the blue insert, loved the way it lined up but grew tired of it and wasn't a huge fan of the feel.

I was looking for a new putter the start of this summer and I found this one, and just putted great with it. It has the alignment I loved about it, and it has a much better feel. It's not perfect mind you (not a fan of those Winn grips they put on most putters nowadays and I haven't switched it out), and I don't make EVERYTHING with it like you see some reviews will tell you, but it is my go to putter so far and I am a big fan.

I have had this putter for a few weeks and played over 100 holes with it now. It replaced the redwood piper that i just couldn't get comfortable with.

Didn't like the stock grip, so replaced it with midsize iomic and it took me a while to get used to the lighter weight that the redwood. However, all is well now.

Have just been away to scotland for 3 days and putted like god. From 10 feet in it is dynamite. Very easy to align, great for a back and through stroke as face stays square really easy. Don't think it would suit an Utley type stroke.

From longer range I found distance control a little tricky at first, but again got used to it and did really well.

Feel off the face is firm, but the ball doesn't jump like some.

Overall great putter and I expect it to be in my bag for some time.

Just picked up this putter about 3 weeks ago. Played 3 rounds with it so far and I must say, this putter is amazing.

When I first starting looking into mallet putters, I picked up an Odyssey 2 ball center shaft. I hated it. It was so hard to control distance because it was so light.

The Ping though is perfectly balances IMO. The weight is just perfect. Even added more weight with the additional of a jumbo tiger shark putter. I love the fact that the putter doesn't have an insert. the ball rolls smooth everytime.

And lastly, as mentioned above, for the price, this putter is an absolute bargain.
