PING launches Sigma G putters
PING welcomes 16 putter models into its new Sigma G family.
PING has today launched new Sigma G putters, which combine the company's patented True Roll Face Technology with a multi-piece face technology inspired by the soles of athletic shoes.
The putter line's Pebax elastomer, a material commonly used in the soles of athletic shoes for its elasticity properties, is a lightweight, high-energy return compound that delivers a uniquely soft yet responsive feel.
PING's new True Roll Face Technology covers the entire face to provide confidence and full-face forgiveness. Precision milled from 6061 aerospace-grade aluminium, the new pattern varies in depth and pitch to help improve performance and touch on all types of putt.
"The Sigma G putters represent an exciting new technology that continues our long-standing commitment to engineering putters that feel and look great but perform even better,” said PING's chairman and CEO John A. Solheim.
"The combination of the high-grade elastomer and fully machined aerospace-grade aluminium over the entire face delivers an amazing feel and sound. And with improved ball-speed consistency and forgiveness, golfers will make more putts than ever.
"We’re also introducing several new designs that offer a variety of looks to fit every golfer’s stroke and eye."
In player testing, data showed an overwhelming preference for the feel and performance of the Sigma G models and the innovative face technology.
PING adds that "impact stability in every Sigma G model is increased as a result of the larger face insert cavities that allow weight savings to be re-distributed further towards the perimeter to increase the MOI," while optimally placed CG positions "help reduce skid and initiate forward roll."
All 16 putter options are finished in either Platinum or Black Nickel and feature a contrasting face tone to assist in setup and alignment consistency.
A variety of blades, mid-mallets and mallets are available to fit any stroke type and preferred look and alignment style.
Proven performers like the Anser, B60, Kushin, Darby, Shea H, D66, Tess and Piper 3 have been modernised and are joined by several new high-performance designs, including three versions of the Kinloch design, the Ketsch B and three extremely high-MOI, alignment models called Tyne, Wolverine T and the counter-balanced Doon.
Two options of the proprietary PING Pistol tapered grip are offered to fit a golfer’s preferred grip style. The PP60 (midsize, polygon shape) and PP62 (oversize, more rounded shape) are engineered to fit the contours of the golfer’s hands. The CB60 grip is standard on counter-balanced models.
The new Sigma G putters can be pre-ordered beginning today at PING-authorised retailers.
Each putter costs £175, except for the new Doon and Kinloch CB putters which cost £199.
