new designs, the PING 2021 putters offer a variety of head shapes to fit the stroke of and the look wanted by a wide range of golfers.\u00a0 Soft, responsive feel and excellent consistency.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87699 lazyloaded\"

of woods and irons garnering well deserved attention earlier this year, it was understandable that the smart folks at PING held off the release of their 2021 putter series until they could have their own spotlight.\u00a0 And a big spotlight it is, with\u00a0<strong>11 models in a variety of shapes and sizes<\/strong>.\u00a0 Why so many choices?\u00a0 Because PING understands that\u00a0<strong>a putter needs to appeal to a golfer\u2019s eye as well as their stroke.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87706 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/pluggedingolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PING-2021-Putters-270.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"472\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pluggedingolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PING-2021-Putters-270.jpg\" \/><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Looks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As one would expect from any PING putter collection, the 2021 series includes\u00a0<strong>three timeless Anser models<\/strong>.\u00a0 The balance of the series consists of\u00a0<strong>three mid mallets and five mallets<\/strong>.\u00a0 Although some shapes are familiar, the Tyne 4 (shown below) is the only non-blade carryover from the recent Heppler collection.\u00a0 The Fetch may sound familiar, but the 2021 version has a cover over the unique ball retrieving cutout which gives it a vastly different look.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87703 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/pluggedingolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PING-2021-Putters-264.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"472\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pluggedingolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PING-2021-Putters-264.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The 2021 series putters all have a\u00a0<strong>black finish and a strong white alignment line<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 a very unified look at address.\u00a0 A strip of red at the bottom edge of the insert really pops against the black face.\u00a0 The red continues as an accent on the distinctive soles of the putters.\u00a0 As always, the PING headcovers are high quality and visually appealing in the bag.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87700 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/pluggedingolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PING-2021-Putters-258.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"472\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pluggedingolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PING-2021-Putters-258.jpg\" \/><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Sound &amp; Feel<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Although there were subtle differences among the three PING 2021 models I tested, they all shared a\u00a0<strong>wonderfully soft feel and expressive \u2018tawk\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0with a premium golf ball.\u00a0 As designed, the two layer dual-durometer insert provided a slightly firmer feel on longer putts.\u00a0 The Oslo H felt a bit firmer overall which I attribute to having the most \u2018beef\u2019 behind the face.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Feedback to my hands was precise with centered contact being very satisfying<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To understand the sound, think of a low register country singer saying \u201ctock.\u201d As contact wavered from center, the sound lost some tone, which added to the feedback.\u00a0 To my ear, the Tyne 4 resonated a tad hollow compared to the other two putters, but that\u2019s really just splitting hairs.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87701 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/pluggedingolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PING-2021-Putters-260.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"472\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pluggedingolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PING-2021-Putters-260.jpg\" \/><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Being the most similar in size to my gamer, the mid mallet\u00a0<strong>Kushin 4<\/strong>\u00a0(above) was what I grabbed to start my test session, and I instantly felt comfortable with the grip and flow of the putter (more on that in a moment).\u00a0 The parallel lines formed by the putter body along with the white alignment line gave me confidence in aiming and body alignment.\u00a0 It only took three putts to be impressed with the consistency, with the balls finishing within inches of each other.<\/p>\n<p>Switching to the\u00a0<strong>Tyne 4<\/strong>, my observations were the same, but it finally registered that\u00a0<strong>the face put a lovely roll on the ball<\/strong>.\u00a0 Moving to the\u00a0<strong>Oslo H\u00a0<\/strong>shown below, my stroke wasn\u2019t as solid but the results were still good.\u00a0 To further test the forgiveness I purposely hit balls far towards the toe and heel, and all three models returned the same \u201cno worries\u201d message.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87702 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/pluggedingolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PING-2021-Putters-262.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"472\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pluggedingolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PING-2021-Putters-262.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>PING amped up the forgiveness of its 2021 series primarily through a mix of materials.\u00a0 I mentioned the feel considerations of the\u00a0<strong>dual-durameter insert<\/strong>\u00a0on the face, but the firmer back layer also affords better distance control.\u00a0 Along with the use of stainless steel and aluminum in the putter heads, the tungsten inserts you can see in the face work harmoniously to\u00a0<strong>boost MOI and optimize CG for each model.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87705 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/pluggedingolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PING-2021-Putters-268.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"473\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pluggedingolf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PING-2021-Putters-268.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Back to the familiarity that the Kushin 4 gave me \u2013 it had to do with the toe hang and midsize pistol grip size.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>PING offers their putters to fit three stroke types:\u00a0 straight, slight arc, and strong arc.<\/strong>\u00a0 Clearly delineated on their website, PING also identifies the stroke type on shaft stickers for quick in-store identification.\u00a0 Although you can order your grip of choice, at retail locations expect to find the PING pistol shape that complements the stroke type of each putter model.\u00a0 The Kushin 4 and Tyne 4 I tested both had the classic shaped PP58 Midsize.\u00a0 The Oslo H had the PP60 with a larger flat top surface and more pronounced V along the bottom.\u00a0 The third option is the straight taper PP58 S.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87704

the PING 2021 putter series truly strives to \u201cimprove results on the greens.\u201d\u00a0 As much as I appreciated the feedback, it was the consistency of performance that was most noteworthy.\u00a0 Retailing for $249 (except the Harwood at $349), the PING 2021 putters fall right in line price wise with other high-quality, multi-material putters.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve been pondering a new putter, the PING 2021 models deserve close consideration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLUB TYPE:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0PUTTER
