Where it wins
- Looks91
- Forgiveness87
- Feel85
Watch
Rated highest for looks and forgiveness; its softest dimension is workability.
You miss the middle often, putt on flatter greens, and want the most stable head Ping mills.
You need touch on fast, sloping greens, or you dislike a loud strike.
Pros
- The steadiest head in the milled range, and strikes off centre barely lose pace
- Finish and milling detail beyond anything else Ping sells
- An arc-friendly neck on a head this size, which is unusual
- A deep cavity line that makes aiming a big mallet simple
Cons
- Distance control is genuinely hard at range, with weight and a firm face pushing putts long
- Louder at impact than you would expect from a milled putter
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentAt 375 grams with the weight pushed wide, heel and toe strikes finish close to centred ones.
Distance
StrongThe extra mass and firm face make it easy to run long putts well past the hole.
Workability
FairAn Anser-style neck gives a big mallet just enough hang for a stroke that arcs slightly.
Feel
ExcellentMilling makes contact firmer than the soft face Ping advertises, closer to crisp than cushioned.
Sound
StrongNoticeably louder than Ping's other milled heads, which on a quiet green can be off-putting.
Looks at address
Class-leadingThe milling and finish are the best in this range, behind a wide head and a bold line.
