Is it truly possible to harness the power of different materials to enhance the distance control of our putters? Or would this be a marketing ploy?
PING has made a commendable effort to address our needs by developing the new Scottsdale putter line. The effectiveness of these improvements will become more apparent with time.
It’s worth noting that incorporating Pebax elastomers is an innovative approach with great potential.
Hold on tight because we’re about to dive in! Here are the thrilling details!
The latest PING Scottsdale putter family features an impressive lineup of nine models, including the Scottsdale Craz-E, Prime Tyne 4, Prime Tyne C, Oslo 3, Anser, Anser 2D, Anser 4, B63, and DS72.
Each putter, excluding the Craz-E CB, has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of €299, while the Craz-E CB is available for €329.
Notably, every model comes equipped with a premium SuperStroke grip as standard, which enhances golfers’ overall performance and feel.
The company has launched the WebFit Putter app, a user-friendly web-based fitting tool designed to assist golfers in selecting the PING putter that best complements their playing style.
Building on the success of last year’s WebFit Wedge app, this new tool provides a quick and efficient way for golfers to identify a PING putter that can significantly enhance their performance on the greens.
The use of Pebax elastomer in the new PING Scottsdale putters is attributed to its superior energy return during repeated flexural cycling.
The elastomer’s remarkably low hysteresis level ensures that a significant proportion of the energy expended in flexing the polymer—akin to the force generated by an athlete’s step—is effectively returned during the rebound phase.
The one-piece Pebax insert is designed to enhance control and consistency in performance.
Every PING Scottsdale putter model boasts enhanced impact stability thanks to large face-insert cavities that enable weight savings to be redistributed further toward the perimeter, thereby boosting the moment of inertia (MOI).
Additionally, the strategically positioned center of gravity (CG) helps to minimize skid while promoting a smooth forward roll.
Each model showcases subtle color blocking between the top rail and back section, effectively drawing attention to the front of the putter for improved alignment.
With a range of head sizes and shapes available, golfers can select from a blade, mid-mallet, or mallet design that best suits their preference.
The mid-length Craz-E CB model measures 37.75 inches and features a 17-inch SuperStroke grip.
The series encompasses all 3 PING stroke types—Straight, Slight Arc, and Strong Arc—along with various hosel styles, ensuring that every golfer can find the perfect fit.
