After a new putter now we’re finally back out on the golf course? Ping have released a seriously impressive line-up for the 2021 season including eleven models with a focus on maximum forgiveness from their high MOI design.
Ping putters 2021: The technology
The whole new range is based around multi-material designs to help drive up that MOI. In fact this series is built using aerospace-grade materials and I really like the fact there is a wide variety of shapes and sizes on offer.
The three Anser versions combine a stainless-steel head with tungsten heel and toe weights to boost that MOI. This makes them the most forgiving Answer putters to date.
In the Kushin 4, DS 72 and Tyne 4 we see steel weights in the heel and tungsten on the toe this moves the CG for optimal performance.
The Fetch and Oslo H have a aluminum sole plate and a cast 304 stainless steel body. This means most of the mass is on the perimeter of the putter which increases the MOI to make these mallets super forgiving.
The brand new CA 70 has a dense stainless steel sole weight which lowers the CG further for even more forgiving results. But it is the Harwood which is the most forgiving in the range thanks to its 6061 aluminum body and 93g tungsten weights in all four corners of the club head.
Each model features a soft, responsive face thanks to the Pebax insert material which also features uniform shallow grooves.
The face is made up of two layers. The firmer back layer offers solid feedback and distance control for longer-range putts. In contrast the front layer is softer for precision on those short must make putts.
