Ping

What it does: Using a two-layer face insert, Ping brings a soft, responsive feel to a variety of multimaterial designs and shapes within this line to increase stability and improve all putts. 

Why we like it: Ping knows a mallet-user comes to this side of the putter spectrum for forgiveness, but it appreciates the need for feel, too. Each model in the series is built using top-level materials, like aerospace-grade aluminium. Combining them, especially with the use of dense tungsten, enhances how those off-centre hits perform. The Harwood model leads the way in stability with 93 grams of tungsten in all four corners of the head. The dual-durometer face insert is soft in the front for touch on short putts and firm in the back for extra oomph on longer rolls. Shallow grooves provide a consistent feel.
