Ping

Through extensive research, Ping found that a lot of golfers prefer a firm feel and crisp sound that’s hard to achieve with inserts or milling. So as most putters tout the power of their grooves, Ping went the opposite direction, producing a putter that is free of patterns, milling and channels. In its place is a solid, machined steel face to get that firm and crisp sound. Both blade models are all-steel construction and include the true-to-the-original Anser 2 with a distinctive angled heel ballast and the ZB3 model with a larger cavity that makes it play more stable than it looks. The copper-and-black finish is designed for alignment and framing help. Finally, a stiffer adjustable-length shaft is standard in all putters in the Heppler line. Wish to be fit for your stroke type? That’s available, too.
