    Hi James & Chris. I have still got my original Ping Zing putter in my spare bag but changed to the B60 when it was re-introduced. One point that wasn't made relates to the ball you play. I think the combo between ball and putter is very important as not everyone plays TP5 / Pro V etc. I, for example, use the Wilson DX2 Soft and I love it on the greens with mu putter. Keep up the great work lads!!

    I love the ping woods and irons James but got fitted for a odyssey 2 ball o works red last year and it's transformed my putting big time. Always purchased putters with toe hang as i thought i had an arching stroke but how wrong was i. Turned out i have a straight back and through stroke and the 2 ball works a treat. The putter that changed the game in my view and still one of the best putters ever made. One club in the bag i will never ever change as it gives me 100% confidence every time I'm on the green

    The Ping Heppler range of putters is very complete and very nice. I have tried some of them. Well made and work well. I love the Spider line from T.M. though and waited it out and just came away with a Spider S to try for 90 days. I really like it. Think its a keeper. Some of the Ping putters though did interest me. Its really a great line. Great job on this review James. Love your work !!!! Thank you sir. Joe

    I've owned a dozen or so PING putters (mostly Anser style) and currently bag a PING Anser 2 Vault. It's an excellent putter. Over the years I've used PING putters with and without inserts but prefer a no insert putter. I've also found the larger B060 grip to work exceptionally well.

    The + & - dial is not for height, it's for braking putts. I leave my dial on all the time. Right to left putts,turn dial to +, if left to right turn it to -.
    About the hard face, just carry in your pocket ,for example, a Chrome soft ball for down hill putts and if you miss the putt past the hole, then switch to the Chrome Soft + for uphill putts .
    It works wonders for me.

    Great review James ! I have a Sigma 2 ZB2 custom build which I just received yesterday!. Ping added 20 grams of Tungsten powder into the head ( I initially wanted 40 grams but they had to stop at 20 grams to avoid damaging the head). Cost me an extra $250 for the custom order, not complaining i needed it since the stock head is to light for me at a 350 grams
    I Prefer the SOFT dual insert TR (true roll face tech) thats in the Sigma 2. Getting same distance out of mishits off the face is an amazing technology ! I also have an Evnroll ER2 since March 2017 and they have similar face tech with variable depth & spacing of the grooves, which give you more energy to the ball on mishits compared to center strikes ! My ARCCOS putter handicap is +5.4, I’ve putted the best in 2019 in my life with my ER2 !
    Also, one thing should be noted is that the Swingweight changes as you change the putter length! I wound up putting about 6 strips of Lead tape on the bottom of the sole of the ZB2 in order to get to a D5 SW. My ER2 is at E0, which is also nice and solid for me ! I’m comfortable within D5 to E0

    Was expecting a different angle from the video title. For me Ping always made the best putters, but since their patents expired, everyone else is now making nicer versions of their designs. Just bought a Scotty Newport 2.5 as there's no Ping Anser 4 these days. Always been my favourite blade design.

    I think putting is the key to lowering your score. I have always had some type of taylormade putter until 5 months ago. I got a odyssey stroke lab 7 and it had been working unbelievably well for me. I think it is mental with me but as long as it works that's all that matter. The idea that ping came out with is awesome but for now I will stick with the stroke lab 7. I wouldn't mind trying the scotty cameron putter you have been using but it is a bit to expensive for me.

    I have a Ping Anser that I love. I like a smooth faced putter...my theory is that if you have two irregular surfaces (ball and putter face) there is more room for error than if you have only one irregular surface...the ball. I will try this new range but doubt I will change at this time.

    Played lots of ping putters. Was a putter junkie until I got an evnroll. But still have my first ping anser 3 I got in 1997. The old ping is trustworthy but the face tech from evnroll is a difference maker. Good video and to most amateurs getting the speed and enough roll to get there makes a difference. Soft faces do work well on fast greens but not all amateurs play on quick greens

I like how the new style has the ability to change the length of the putter though.

    I'm not a fan of the softer sigma feel. I also tend to use a softer feeling tour type ball and it makes it feel almost numb. I like the contrasting colors of black and copper. I am however not really a fan of the adjustable length. During the swing I could feel a bit of movement under the grip because of how the tech for adjustment works.
