Maybe it put it in the hole really good!

[odshot68]

I putted with this yesterday at local shop. Its heavier with a higher MOI but I wasn't crazy about the look of it or the feel. Also, prefer the center shaft belly. Wait for the new scotty belly putters. (GOLO)

[MarkFromTheUK]

Wow, what an ugly looking putter. Looks cheap too.

Local shops have this? I didn't think it was out until April. And I think it looks great. I love a high-tech design.

The local Ping rep had it. He made it seemed it would be available next week.

[phil.b89]

Well I'll take a belly head (405g), at 35 inches, with a belly grip on it too. Also any confirmation on the show about the different shaft bends that might be offered to fit to slight arc and strong arc stroketypes? If so I'll have a slight arc! Oh and 2 deg flat!

[JaxBeachNole]

Hunter Mahan just said he was gaming this as of this week, I don't think it's a belly, any updates on availability dates?

[mosesgolf]

What a beautiful putter. Yes Hunter Mahan is gaming this putter right now and he is making everything.

Agreed! I went looking for one this afternoon and came home empty handed...probably change my mind by the time they're released.

[plus8]

I just went back to my Corza Ghost mallet - and actually hitting some putts now! I can't wait to try this one out!

[3putt18]

When I saw Hunter putting with it, I went to Ping's website to see what it was. Thanks to this post, now I know. Maybe we'll see it in a belly length, unless the USGA and R&A ban them first! :-)

[sofla]

How much is it going to retail for?

[poppyhillsguy]

It's ugly, but with Mahan's success, I'm now interested in rolling it.

[wendlan9]

I think it was the change in offset between this and his previous putter that made the difference for him.

[DColton]

beautiful, simple.

im glad hunter found his match with this high MOI beauty

kind of ironic how you being to wonder if he was fitted with the wrong putter with a company that emphasizes fitting for stroke type

[daverain1]

I know I'm going to get a lot of disagreement, but it sure looks a lot like my Scotty Kombi-s. it's got a skybridge on it, but solid milled mallet, adjustable weighting? I'm guessing it rolls like a Kombi.

[mountain pro]

+1 it looking like the kombi-s

[go cards]

don't care what it looks like if it helps you putt like hunter did this past week. on fire! still looks like a kombi to me.

[GetmeouttaJersey]

Really looking forward to getting a chance to roll this. If it's an improvement in performance and looks over the Sydney, I can't NOT buy this putter.

The Sydney puts a GREAT roll on the ball for guys that are classified as SBST, but I just can't bag the crazy red top-piece. The nome is much more tame and looks great....


$250 is ready PING! 33" Please.

[Reppoc]

Ok...is it just me? Or does this thing look exactly like the old Rife IMO putter that you can pick up on Ebay for about $50?

[Reppoc]

$299.00 FOR THE BELLY!! ARE THEY KIDDING?

Are you really surprised that a new PING model is $300? The standard length is $250. Cameron belly putters are at least $350-400.

The PING Sydney (red alignment bar) is $250 standard length and their Anser line of putters are $300. I'm not all that shocked that a new putter with a lot of buzz is $250 standard and $300 belly.
