Who it’s for: Golfers who want a soft feel at impact that still delivers responsiveness in a traditional Ping shape.
What you should know: The latest generation of Ping Scottsdale putters features an elastomer insert designed to soften the feel of impact while still returning energy from your stroke into the ball for predictable distance and roll.
The deep dive: Technically, the world headquarters of Ping Golf is in Phoenix, Arizona, not Scottsdale, the suburb just north of the city that is home to numerous high-end public and private golf courses. However, the name Scottsdale has been a part of Ping Golf for decades. Iconic blade putters, and even lines of putters, have been adorned with the name Scottsdale, and Ping’s newest putters for 2025 have been bestowed with the name, too.
The 2025 Ping Scottsdale family comprises of nine putters that include classic blades and mallets created with dark, glare-resistant finishes. The key feature found in each putter is a unique Pebax insert made from a special elastomer commonly used in the running shoe industry. The material is very light but effectively absorbs shock while returning energy. So, while the feel of impact is softened and enhanced, the ball should still come off the face and roll to predictable distances, enhancing a golfer’s distance control and consistency on the greens.
An added bonus of using the Pebax insert is it removes weight from the front-center portion of the head and naturally pushes more mass to the heel and toe areas of the Scottsdale putters, which increases the moment of inertia (MOI) and makes the heads more stable on putts struck outside the sweet spot.
To help golfers align the Scottsdale putters more effectively, each model has white alignment lines which, set against the dark finish, stand out clearly. The Scottsdale putters also come standard with a SuperStroke grip trimmed in blue to match the subtle blue tones added to the heads.
Finally, while Ping strongly encourages golfers to get fit for their putter, each model has a colored shaft band that indicates whether it is ideally balanced for a straight stroke, slight-arc stroke or a strong-arc stroke.
The Straight Stroke putters include the Scottsdale Craz-E mallet, Craz-E CB mallet, Prime Tyne C mallet and DS72 mallet. Putters that are labeled Slight Arc include the Oslo 3 mallet, Anser blade, Anser 2D blade and B63 blade. The Strong Arc putters are the Prime Tyne 4 mallet and Anser 4 blade.
In addition to the standard-length Craz-E putters, Ping is offering a mid-length Craz-E CB at 37.75 inches that comes standard with a 17-inch SuperStroke grip, a popular length and grip combination on the PGA Tour for golfers who want extra stability and a counterbalanced putter.
