PING HEPPLER TOMCAT

◆ GRIPS Four size and profile options

VERDICT Ping’s Heppler family showcases brilliantly how far thinking has come around improving weight distribution for forgiveness. The Tomcat is half steel and half aluminium and Ping have done a brilliant job of teaming the two to create a really attractive and forgiving putter. The 14 white dot alignment aid is simple, unfussy and encourages the eye to see the putter’s path, while also drawing attention away from the head’s back wings and size. With the exception of the Fetch, we reckon the Tomcat 14 is the best Moi-style putter Ping have produced in years. And the ability to adjust the shaft’s length from 32-36in (as eight out of 10 of us use the wrong length putter) might just secure the deal for golfers wavering between which brand to choose.
