Ping Sigma G D66

-

www.ping.com Weight: 350g Grip: Ping Pistol PP60 Toe hang: Moderate

TECH:

New milled aluminium face inserts have variable depth and width grooves to deliver consistent across the face ball speed performanc­e, which Ping says helps reduce your 3-putt potential. Feel is enhanced by a highenergy elastomer insert behind the face, and a new PP60 grip fits more naturally into the palm and fingers, lightening grip pressure and tension.

WE SAY:

The D66 got more than its fair share of toe hang, which means it’s well suited to golfers with at least a degree of arc in their putting stroke. All three testers warmed to the head’s simple lines, and the single white alignment stripe. A compact blade length and narrow head mean it’s unfair to expect forgivenes­s to be anywhere close to the levels of an MOI shaped putter. All our testers thought the D66 looked good and packed in plenty of desirabili­ty for golfers who aren’t after a full-on forgiving putter.

TOP GEAR VERDICT

If you’re a fan of compact and simple traditiona­l blades with a sprinkling of modern face and groove tech, the D66 should be right up your street. The new oversized sharpedged PP60 grip also feels great on such a traditiona­l model.
