Ping · Putter · 2020
Heppler Fetch
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You putt with a straighter stroke, want a forgiving high-MOI retrieval mallet with a firm, feedback-rich milled face, an adjustable-length shaft and the handy ball-retrieval cutout.
You putt with a pronounced arc, you prefer the softest insert feel, or you want a budget putter.
Pros
- A face-balanced, high-MOI retrieval mallet - stable and forgiving
- Ping's face milling makes putts roll beautifully
- A ball-retrieval cutout - collect the ball without bending over
- An adjustable-length shaft and a premium copper-and-black finish
Cons
- Face-balanced - built for a straighter stroke rather than an arc
- A firmer feel than a soft insert, with little audio feedback
- A 2020 design now superseded by the PLD and 2024 lines
By dimension
Forgiveness
Exceptional - a face-balanced, high-MOI retrieval mallet that stays stable through the stroke, the perimeter-weighted mallet shape steadying off-centre strikes. Among the most forgiving mallets - a high-MOI retrieval head.
Distance
A strength - with Ping's face milling the putts you strike feel great and roll beautifully, the firm machined face giving consistent pace. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
A face-balanced mallet - a face-balanced retrieval mallet suited to a straighter stroke with minimal arc, the high-MOI head favouring stability over shot-shaping. Limited arc-fit - built for a straight stroke.
Feel
Firm and feedback-rich - the Heppler's machined steel face gives a firm feel with plenty of feedback through the hands, the putts feeling great off the milled face. Good feel - a firm, premium milled sensation.
Sound
A firm, quiet note - plenty of hand feedback but not much audio feedback, a firm but quiet machined-face note. A firm, quiet putter sound.
Looks at address
Premium and alignment-led - the premium, contrasting copper and black Heppler finish looks great and aids alignment, a clean retrieval-mallet shape with a clear sightline. Among the best-looking, most premium retrieval mallets.
