Ping Red Wood Putter Review

The new Ping line is named for Redwood City, CA, a little south of San Francisco, where Karsten Solheim lived when he began making putters in his garage. They've chosen three classic models to render in a milled version: the Anser, the Zing, and the mallet-like Piper. The Ping Redwood Anser and Zing heads weigh 340 grams, the Piper head 355 grams. As a point of reference, Scotty Cameron, who is fussy about the weight to length ratio in his putters, uses 340 grams in 34-inch putters and 350 grams in 33-inch models. The lie angle of the Red Wood Anser and Zing can be adjusted plus or minus 4° while the face-balanced Piper mallet with its double bend shaft can only be adjusted plus or minus 2° from the standard lie angle. Ping Red Wood Putter is milled out of 303 stainless steel, a material Cameron began using in 2002 for his Studio Stainless line. It's a much denser material than the cast stainless steel Ping has long used and, thus, the club heads are heavier than all but their long discontinued nickel beryllium cast putters. The super large 303 stainless steel head is precisely polished to reach the standard specs, providing you simple line and nice ball-contact feel thus to inspire confidence. The use of black nickel-chromium cover provides Ping Red Wood with low-reflex look, inspired by the unique look of renowned TOUR WEDGE. The typical shape design utilizes Ping’s original design, allowing you to find a type fit for your putts approach. The symmetrical icon design makes the Red Wood Putter look simpler and cleaner.

Ping Red Wood Putter uses a spiral grip with “Redwood” icon to provide different feel for golfers. The multi-layer grip is printed with “Redwood” trademark to enhance feel and this is preferred by most golfers. There are two kinds of designs for choosing, including PP58 offered to non-face balanced model and PISTOL offered to face balanced model. The Plush Tour Style headcover included in Ping Red Wood can protect your putter and the ultra-large mark is more outstanding.

Ping G15 Green Dot Irons 3-9WS

The technology of the

G15 Iron

provides the high-launching, maximum forgiveness benefits that the majority of golfers rely on to bring consistency to their iron play. The stainless steel iron’s cavity design features a new Custom Tuning Port (CTP) which expands the perimeter weighting and increases the moment of inertia. Weight savings from a thinner face is re-positioned to the toe for added forgiveness on mis-hits and its wider sole produces a higher launch angle. Stronger lofts combine with a center of gravity located low and farther from the face to produce longer shots without sacrificing the higher trajectory required in a maximum forgiveness iron.
