Ping’s precision-milled putter line adds three new models from its custom-fit Putting Lab Design (PLD) program: the Anser D, Oslo 4 and matte black Anser 2.
“In the case of the PLD Milled line, we’re continuing to add tour-inspired models to bring golfers the latest in score-lowering performance on the green,” said John K. Solheim, Ping CEO and president.
The three new PLD Milled models ($485) join four tour-validated models introduced last year. The Anser D and Oslo 4 are entirely new, high-MOI designs, developed in collaboration with Ping pros Bubba Watson and Tyrrell Hatton, respectively. The matte-black finish Anser 2 retains all of the technology and performance of the satin-finish version introduced last year.
All seven designs in the family are fully machined from forged 303 stainless steel. Each model features Deep AMP (aggressive milling pattern) face technology that requires more than four hours of milling time to precisely shape every surface and radius to achieve the high-quality look, feel and sound expected in a precision-milled putter.
“Our intention with the PLD Milled series is to offer our most popular models from the past and add new, tour-influenced designs on a regular basis,” Solheim said. “As we collaborate on new designs with our engineers and tour staff through the PLD program, we’ll expand the line to ensure golfers have access to our newest technologies and processes.”
The Anser D is a hybrid between the classic blade and a mid-mallet with its added forgiveness, single white alignment line contrasting against the matte-black head, and a deeper profile. More mass in the head helps stabilize the stroke and assists in delivering more consistency.
The new Anser 2’s matte-black head contrasts against the short, single white alignment line to make aiming easier.
The Oslo 4 mallet is equipped with an Anser 4-style hosel to make it a good fit for strong-arc stroke types. The full-length alignment line contrasts with the matte-black head.
