PING expands Scottsdale TR putter line
New variable depth groove putters hit the shelves
PING today introduced three new Scottsdale TR (True Roll) putters: the Anser T, the Craz-E and the counter-balanced Senita B - all available at retail now.
PING unveiled the initial 12 Scottsdale TR models this past spring and they are widely in play on pro tours worldwide.
“True Roll technology has proved to be very popular because variable-depth grooves offer consistent ball speeds and unmatched distance control,” said John A. Solheim, PING Chairman & CEO.
“Golfers are making a higher percentage of their putts, even from longer range. That comes from the accuracy this technology provides, along with the added confidence, which is essential on the greens.”
The option of an adjustable-length shaft in traditional-length Scottsdale TR models has also been well-received.
“Our studies show that golfers putt more consistently when they can self-adjust for length to optimise the fit and feel for their individual style,” added Solheim.
The new blade-style Anser T (adjustable £149; non-adjustable £129) utilises PING’s influential Anser head while adding an arched, bridge-style alignment line that extends from the front edge of the top rail to the back edge. The 360 gram Anser T fits Slight Arc putting strokes.
One of PING’s most successful designs, the mallet-style Craz-E (adjustable £169; non-adjustable £149), celebrates its 10th anniversary in the form of the 365-gram Scottsdale TR Craz-E. It has the same easy alignment and confidence-inspiring shape as the original Craz-E head that debuted in 2004, and it can be ordered to fit any stroke type.
Senita B (adjustable £195; non-adjustable £175) provides the feel and performance of a belly putter without anchoring. Its 38 inch standard shaft has a 50 gram weight inside the grip end of the shaft to counter-balance the 400 gram head. The weight in the shaft creates a high balance point, which encourages a pendulum-like stroke and helps to release the putter head.
Designed into the 17-inch grip are reference lines for the player to position his or her hands to optimise the benefits of counter-balancing. An adjustable-length shaft is optional, and the Senita B can be ordered with one of three shaft bends to fit any stroke type: Straight, Slight Arc, or Strong Arc.
