Gear: Ping Putters (2024)
Price: $250 (Anser 2, Anser D, B60, Fetch, Tyne H), $300 (Ketsch G)
Who It’s For: Golfers who want a blend of feel and forgiveness, with several custom-fitting options and styles.
The Skinny: Each of the Ping Putters is designed to fit a specific stroke type, and with several different head styles and alignment aids in the family, Ping hopes to make it easier for golfers and fitters to find the ideal putter.
The Deep Dive: In 2022, Ping released a 10-putter family of clubs simply known as the Ping Putters. While the brand offers the PLD Series and 2021 Putters that feature one cohesive technology story, and the PLD Custom program offers the company’s highest level of customization, in some ways the Ping Putter line fits in the middle because it’s offerings are designed in different wants and made for different types of players based on their stroke type.
Now, in 2024, Ping is extending the Ping Putter line with six new offerings, bringing the clubs in the family to 16.
“It’s a very diverse offering but the one thing they all have in common is they offer precision performance on putts of every length, said John K. Solheim, Ping’s president and CEO. “Golfers will have an easy time matching a model to fit their putting style, preferred alignment cues and desired feel.”
The Ping Putters can be categorized by head style — blade, mid-mallet and high-MOI mallet — but the company prefers to group them by the stroke type they are designed to help: straight, slight arc and strong arc. Within each of those stroke types, golfers will find different-looking putters that also have been made with different alignment aids, face materials and weighting
