Ping Piper Putter

In early October, Ping released their new line of Putters: the Karsten line.
Obviously named for the founder of Ping, Karsten Soleheim, this new line of putters has set the new high water mark for “affordable” putters .Ping has taken their entire line of putters and made “a putter for golfers preferring the performance of a steel face with an insert feel”. Each putter is available off the rack in lengths of 33″, 34″, and 35″.
Technology
With this line, Ping has taken an elastomer insert and placed it behind the face rather than on it. This allows for a bit of a cushioned feel, but it completely avoids a major problem that can arise with insert putters: inconsistency. Think of the insert on this putter as a piece of lead tape in the cavity. It will change the sound and vibration of a putt, but it is still a steel face putter. Off center hits are still detectable, but they aren’t as punishing as they once were. The entire Karsten line gives a nice and solid click when you hit the ball.
Each putter in this line: the Anser, Anser 2, B60, C67, Craz-E, Piper, and Zing is available in Ping’s color coded lies. As you can see in the table, these putters are now running a little heavier than they have in the past. The weight is constant through all lengths as well. Standing at 5?7″, it means a lot to me to be able to find a 33″ putter as well as a heavier weight without custom ordering.
Performance
Ping has chosen their tumbled finish for this line which is much appreciated. My last putter was a Scotty Cameron Studio Design 1.5 and the finish was so shiny that at least once a round I would be blinded by glare from the sun. This doesn’t happen at all with the B60.
