FIRST LOOK - Ping Scottsdale TR Putters

[GolfSpy Dave]

 

Just a quick share for ya. These sweet new Ping Scottsdale TR putters rolled in for review the other day. We have the Anser 2, the Piper C, the Senita, and the Tatum in for testing. There are a few cool features worth noting.

First, they can be built with a standard shaft or the patented Ping adjustable shaft. I played around with this feature with the adjustable Nome last summer. It's very easy to adjust and definitely unique in the market. Next, the new insert is definitely worth mention. Ping has engineered the variable-depth insert to give similar distances with centered and off centered hits. The center is a bit dead, and the edges of the insert are a bit hot. I can't wait to see how this plays!

There are other models/shapes in the pipeline as well. Someone sent me pics of one that is a heel shafted mini mallet.

You bet. There are nine other models up on the site. LOTS of variety...

I gave these a roll the other day, for an insert putter I actually like them

Had to bump with one more cool photo...

 

OK so it's the same photos but I just learned how to make photo collages

Have they done anything to make keeping the grip to face angle square? I extended the nome once and it took me 2ninutes to get the grip square only to realize it was still 1inch short. Took me another 2minutes. Never tried it again after that.

 

A small groove along the shaft that wood keep the grip aligned would solve that.

It's still fully rotational. It seems to work best if you just make it loose, then square it.

But when you're lengthening it a significant length/more than an inch and a half it becomes difficult to do on the first/second try.

Saw these at the local golfsmith the other day. Very nice putters indeed. I am not usually an insert kinda guy but they put a very nice roll on the ball.

The Piper C is my jam.

My good friend is a Ping fitter and I putted with the Anser 2 with the adjustable shaft. I love the weight below the grip. It truly gives a an end-over-end roll.

Just put the B60 version in the bag, but I've little chance to use it much because of the weather. I used the Scottsdale version last season and loved it. Mine has the adjustable shaft and I'm using the AVS over size grip (on both versions). I like the grip as it keeps my wrists quiet.
