With a focus on maximizing MOI through multi-material designs. PING has introduced the 2021 putter series.
Available in 11 models, the custom-built putters are available for pre-order beginning today at authorized PING golf shops.
“We’ve engineered a lot of score-lowering technology into the 2021 putter line through extensive research and tour player feedback,” said PING president John K. Solheim.
“All of the models are developed with higher MOI through strategic use of various materials, including tungsten, steel and aluminum to provide the forgiveness and accuracy golfers expect from a PING putter,” said Solheim.
“The dual-durometer insert features uniform, shallow grooves to give golfers a soft, responsive feel for more consistent distance control with the precise touch they need to hole more putts. We’ve also advanced the visual cues depending on the model to help make alignment easier and more natural when addressing a putt,” he said.
“Eleven options ensure a putter to fit every golfer’s eye and stroke type, The line-up features new designs created through our tour-focused PLD (Putting Lab Design) program, including versions inspired by PING professionals Viktor Hovland (DS 72) and Cameron Champ (Tyne 4),” he added.
“From blades to mallets and for straight, slight arc and strong-arc stroke types, it’s a complete line engineered to lower scores and increase enjoyment,” said Solheim.
Each model in the series is built using aerospace-grade materials in a variety of shapes and sizes to enhance forgiveness.
The three Anser versions (Anser, Anser 2, Anser 4) combine a stainless-steel head with tungsten heel and toe weights to elevate the design’s MOI to its highest ever.
In the Kushin 4, DS 72 and Tyne 4, a steel weight is used in the heel and tungsten is applied to the toe to better optimize the centre of gravity location.
The Fetch and Oslo H join a cast 304 stainless steel body with an aluminum sole plate to position mass around the entire perimeter to create forgiving mallet-style designs.
In the new CA 70, a dense stainless steel sole weight lowers the CG of the aluminum body for more forgiving results.
The Harwood delivers the highest MOI in the line due to its 6061 aluminum body and 93g tungsten weights in all four corners of the fully-machined design.
A soft, responsive face in every model is the result of an innovative dual-durometer PEBAX insert material and uniform, shallow grooves.
The softer front layer of the insert enhances precision, while the firmer back layer offers the solid feedback and distance control required for longer-range putts and overall consistency.
“By combining the two hardnesses of the PEBAX material we’re providing a feel preference that appeals to a large segment of golfers while delivering the consistency golfers need to improve their ‘strokes gained: putting’ results,” said Solheim.
“It is designed for the golfer who prefers a putter on the softer side of the feel spectrum, but with the response of a firm face,” he said.
A dark, stealth PVD finish on the heads and a black chrome shaft create a sleek and attractive look from head to grip. All models come standard with a fixed-length shaft that can be custom built from 32–38 inches in quarter–inch increments. PING’s patented adjustable shaft, which adjusts from 32–36 inches is available as a custom upgrade.
Three proprietary PING grip designs allow golfers to dial in their favourite fit and feel.
The PP58 Mid (87g) is a standard-sized pistol shape made of rubber and designed to help square the face at impact. It is the standard grip on the Anser, Anser 4, Kushin 4, CA 70, DS 72, Tyne 4 and Tyne C.
The PP60 (86g) is a midsize, pistol design with a rubber under-listing, with larger flat surfaces for increased face awareness. A new rubber outer layer features a unique texture to enhance a golfer’s sense of touch. It comes standard on the Anser 2, Fetch, Oslo H and Harwood.
The optional PP58-S (99g) is a midsize, pistol design and features a straight taper and larger flat surface for face awareness.
ANSER
The Anser is heel-toe tungsten weighted for forgiveness and the rounded corners, softer ballast surfaces and centre line help ease alignment. For slight-arc stroke types, the Anser makes squaring the face to the target line easy and natural.
