Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness87
- Feel87
- Distance86
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You rotate the face through the stroke but want the stability of a big mallet behind it.
You need a classical shape over the ball, or you set up to a full-offset head.
Pros
- Among the steadiest heads Ping makes, and mishits keep their pace
- A milled face at a level usually kept for blades, sitting on a full mallet
- The full-length top line makes squaring up genuinely simple
- Toe hang on a high-inertia mallet, which very few rivals offer
Cons
- The blocky shape divides people sharply, so look at one before committing
- Three-quarter shaft offset is unusual, and it may not sit like the putter you are replacing
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentA steel sole plate thickened at its edges holds ball speed when you catch it away from centre.
Distance
ExcellentDeep milling keeps pace intact across the face, so a heel strike still finishes near the hole.
Workability
SolidPing fits it to a rotating stroke, though it hangs less at the toe than that label suggests.
Feel
ExcellentAluminium behind a deeply cut face, and it still tells you precisely where the ball met it.
Sound
ExcellentA clean, contained note off the milling, quieter than the aluminium body would lead you to expect.
Looks at address
ExcellentA blunt, squared-off head that people either take to or reject outright, though the top line aims well.
