Ping are targeting one of a club golfer’s biggest weakness, with the release of their new putters. These bold designs may be the perfect antidote for everyone’s struggles with a flat stick.

If you have ever stood over a putt and doubted your aim, Ping think they have found the answer to your worries.

The brand has released their new Scottsdale TEC (Tour Elevated Concepts) range. This is a a line-up shaped by tour feedback and driven by innovation from the brand’s renowned putting lab.

They aren’t just about feel or forgiveness, they’re designed to train your eyes and sharpen your focus where it matters most.

Equipped with modern aesthetic with cutting-edge alignment technology, the Scottsdale TEC putters look to help golfers aim better and hole more putts.

Here’s how one of golf’s most accomplished brands have tried to redefine putter alignment…

A new era of alignment

The standout feature across the Scottsdale TEC putter range is PING’s new Eye-Q alignment technology.

Developed using ‘Quiet Eye’ research – a proven eye-tracking method used in elite sport – Eye-Q introduces a small dot on the top rail. This is paired with extended alignment lines across the top of the putter head.

This combination is designed to give golfers a clear focal point, helping to stabilise their gaze before and during the stroke.

Ping believe that by reducing unnecessary eye movement and locking focus onto a precise point, players can aim more consistently. This will lead to a more controlled putting stroke.

The brand says that this ‘quiet-eye’ effect is critical in helping golfers maintain visual stability at the moment of execution, a key factor in holding more putts.

The technology breakdown

Ping has included an onset hosel design in some of their TEC models. This positions the shaft closer to the centre line, providing a full view of the ball and encouraging a more stable, pulling stroke motion

A slightly softer feel is also a key feature of these new putters. A PEBAX insert is responsible for this as it helps to maintain a strong energy return for consistent distance control.

Each putter is crafted from an 100% milled 6061 aluminium body combined with a 304 stainless steel sole plate. This material choice is designed to increase the MOI and optimise centre of gravity, making them more forgiving.

Perimeter weighting is also included in the make-up of the putter heads. Weight is pushed low and wide to maximise forgiveness and promote a consistent roll.

So, which model is right for you?

A high-MOI mallet designed for straight-arc strokes, the Hayden uses a strong black-and-white colour scheme and a long alignment line to draw focus towards the Eye-Q dot.

It offers a stable, forgiving platform with a soft, consistent feel.

For you blade lovers, the Ally Blue Onset is your best bet. It combines the forgiveness of a mallet with the visual simplicity of a blade.

The onset hosel positions the shaft behind the face, giving it a clean view of the ball and enhancing alignment.

One that may be the most spotted on tour over the next season or so is the Ketsch Onset putter. It is a tour-proven design that has been reimagined with Eye-Q technology.

The Ketsch Onset features multiple alignment lines and best fits a slightly arcing stroke. It delivers high stability with a confidence-inspiring profile.

Also aimed at golfers with a slight arc in their putting stroke is the Ally Blue H. The clean look at address aims to complement the alignment system for improved accuracy.

The Ketsch 4 accommodates for a more pronounced arc. It incorporates a greater toe hang through its Anser 4-style hosel.

Multiple alignment lines work alongside Eye-Q to make aiming easier for players who release the toe more through impact.

About the author

Max Mcvittie

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
