Ping Sigma 2 Putters

Fitting your putter length to your stroke is easy as 1-2-3

-

With a focus on a softer feel and lively response through multilayer face technology, and a newly designed adjustable-length shaft, PING’S new Sigma 2 series of putters includes the new, highly stable Fetch model that is designed with a golf-ballpickup feature.

Ever the advocate for fitting as evidenced by their colour coded fitting system, John Solheim and his engineers have come up with an ingenious way to fit putter length to stroke to optimise performanc­e. Research indicates 8 out of 10 golfers are playing the wrong-length putters and losing strokes as a result. That’s a staggering statistica­l problem that PING has made easy for golfers to solve with the Sigma 2.

The conforming adjustable-length shaft is lightweigh­t, easy to use and sleekly concealed beneath the grip, allowing golfers to customize the length between 32” and 36” to fit stroke and posture. Quick and intuitive, an adjustment tool inserts into the top of the grip, and one full turn causes approximat­ely a ¼” adjustment up or down, with the grip remaining perfectly aligned the whole time.

“The adjustable shaft is just a really cool technology,” said John K. Solheim, PING President. “Our engineers took a very complex technical challenge and simplified it for the benefit of golfers. It allows you to experiment and ultimately self-fit yourself. We call it ‘invisible’ technology but once you customize it to your length, the results will be very clear on your scorecard.”

Dial in optimal fit and feel with 3 grip options. The PP60 is midsize and lightweigh­t, designed to fit the contours of the hands with flats on the top and sides. Slightly heavier, the PP61 has an exaggerate­d pistol shape. The PP62, is still lightweigh­t, has a larger, more rounded shape to promote quieter hands.

Anser

The Anser is the winningest model in PGA Tour history, and its newest iteration has the traditiona­l heel-toe ballasts that boost MOI, plus pleasing contours, a clean top rail and simple alignment line. The blade design and medium head weight make this putter proficient from any distance. The mid-hang balance targets players with a moderate rotation in their stroke, and thus fits a large percentage of golfers. Putter Type: Blade Head Weight: 350g Stroke Type: Slight Arc

ZB 2

The ZB with a modern twist. The deeper center cavity and heel-toe weighting increase moment of inertia by more than 25% in this new model and make it as forgiving as an Anser. The heel-shafted weighting is engineered to fit players with more rotation in their stroke and those who have a pull tendency. This putter’s blade design and medium head weight provide versatilit­y from anywhere on the green. Putter Type: Blade Head Weight: 350g Stroke Type: Strong Arc Expect a very soft feel with a lively response as a result of the innovative dual-durometer face. By combining the two hardnesses of the PEBAX material and utilizing the TR face pattern, PING is providing a feel preference that appeals to a large segment of golfers while delivering the consistenc­y needed to improve their ‘strokes gained: putting’ results.

The softer front layer ensures precision for shorter, delicate putts, and the firmer back layer offers feedback and distance control required for longer-range putts and improved consistenc­y. Additional­ly, grooves in the TR face pattern vary in depth and pitch to speed up off-center impacts for consistent ball speeds.
