'GOOD PUTTER'
Strengths:
Good roll off the face ,nice feel with grip easy to align up with hole, saves bending down to pick up the ball,just flick it up off the back when finished ideal if you have backache,well engineered piece of kit which you would expect from ping.
Weaknesses:
Alignment guide could be brighter perhaps wrong colour,
in blue .No other weakness apart from user.
Overall:
This putter took me two seasons to sort out, mine is centre shafted,best results if gripped low down the handle i found out for better accuracy, I do like it now but was unsure at first .

'OVERSTYLISED GIMMICK'
Strengths:
It's a Ping putter and it works
The feel from the insert is one of the best.
Deadly in the hands of a good putter from under 10 foot
Weaknesses:
Distance putts are not as predictable, even for a good putter
Ugly as sin - so many twists and turns and blobs of plastic in its fabrication that I think Ping are taking the p***
Overall:
Most lumps of metal on a stick will get the ball in the hole in the right hands.
Putters like this are generally bought by strugglers who think that if its ugly and costly it must be good.

'NOT BAD'
Strengths:
easy to align, good on quick greens, well balanced, nice grip.
Weaknesses:
the insert is a bit inconsistant length wise, not really made for long putts
Overall:
im not going to say it will knock 10 shots off your round but its worth a try!

'GREAT PUTTER'
Strengths:
Easy to line up, good swing weight, doesn't matter which part of the face you hit it with
Weaknesses:
When the sun shines at a certain angle it can be a bit blinding, but thast's it really
Overall:
I'm a really bad putter. I always have been and probabally always will be. Buying this though transformed my game. I now have the bottle on short putts to aim for the hole and swing positively, no more trickling them up and hoping they fall in. On long putts alignment is easy and the weight seems just right. I'm sure great putters wont need the help that this putter gives, but for the rest of us, give it a go.
PS I paid £90 from my club pro.

'TEMENDOU-S'
Strengths:
Relatively good value. Excellent consistency off face. Nicely weighted head (heavyish). Fantastic grip. Complete doddle to line up!
Weaknesses:
None at all
Overall:
Have been looking for new high MOI putter since February and consequently have tried loads (2 Ball, Futura etc)this one simply felt the best for me. Tried in match yesterday - won 8 & 7 with 3 single putts and no 3 putts. Delighted.

'HAS TRANSFORMED MY PUTTING'
Strengths:
Alignment system - had always had problems with this in the past - now if i miss its usally a lot closer than beofre or because I have got the weight wrong.

Also the grip is excellent - a great feel to it.

The weight of the head has helped groove the "pendulum" feel to my putting.
Weaknesses:
No obvious ones.
Overall:
I paid £115 at Gainsboro GC when i visited the Ping Fitting Centre. My advice is to esnure that you have the right colour spot for your size and build.

I have just replaced all my gear and i am getting the best results so far with the craz - e. Just need to get my G2 Irons going now!

'YOU'D BE CRAZ-E NOT TO TRY IT'
Strengths:
easy alignment, excellent weighting, really helps to promote that pendulum swing. The new winn grip is an absolute gem - a real joy to hold.
Weaknesses:
Only the ones in your head! Suppose the looks are subjective but I love it.
Overall:
I've tried a few ping putters, with an without inserts and have also tried other premium brands.
This works for me like no other and I've never felt so confident on the green.

'TRUSTY FRIEND'
Strengths:
I am very careful about changing putters and have only ever owned three, the craz-e ousted my odyssey because with my pendulum stroke it just goes back and through with ease.
The Winn grip is amazing.
Weaknesses:
To be honest I thought it looked a little quirky when it came out, but the man on the motorbike is staying in my bag.
Overall:
Superb performance, quirky design, but works great with a down the line pendulum putting stroke.
