The i Series by Ping

The i Series is a brand new line of putters that won’t ship to retailers until November of 2007. All the putters in this product line will have a two piece insert system, consisting of a urethane insert with a thinner material on top of the urethane. This technology is used to give good feedback to the golfer, in other words a soft feel and good sound. There are a total of 10 models available with the i Series technology, including old standards like the Anser and Zing, as well as the Piper, B60, Craz-E, ½ Craz-E, and ½ Moon models.

The Karsten Series

These putters are of course named after Karsten Solheim who was the founder of Ping. Again, this is a brand new product line which won’t begin shipping to retailers until October of 2007. The faces of these putters are made of steel, and an elastomer insert is added into the face in the ball contact area. Weight has been redistributed to the perimeter of the club head which increases the club head moment of inertia (MOI), and this adds forgiveness on off-center hits. These putters also have what is called a mult-level alignment aid. The thin and rectangular top edge of the putter contrasts to the aiming lines in the back cavity to make alignment easier. There are seven models to be offered in the Karsten series including the Anser, Anser 2, B60, B67, Zing, Craz-E, and Piper models of putter heads.

The Redwood Series

This series is named after Redwood City, California, where Karsten Solheim started working on putters in his garage, and this was the start of the Ping company. These putters are all milled from 303 stainless steel. Some golfers like the feel of a milled putter. Three traditional models are offered in this format, the Anser, Zing, and Piper.

The JAS Craz-E One

This is a new addition to the JAS line of putters. This putter has a shape that somewhat resembles some of the two ball putters on the market today, but it does not use balls as alignment aids. It does have a rectangular alignment aid on its large back plate. The putter head is made of lightweight C805 aluminum, and 4 heavy tungsten weights have been added to the perimeter, which creates a very high MOI. In fact the JAS Craz-E One has the highest MOI of any putter in the Ping lineup, so it is therefore the most forgiving putter in the entire product offering. The color is deep black and it has a modern appearance. I would say it is quite attractive looking.

Golf Tips

Do you blame your putting, shots and swings for your golf missed shots and high scorecard results? Well, no matter how much time and effort you have been spending practicing to perfect your game of golf, you will always be handicapped from reaching your goal if you are using wrong or defective items of golf equipment.

To really improve your game, you should consider the following golf tips that involve checking your golf equipment's condition and quality.

If you are constructing your set of golf clubs by purchasing used golf clubs and putters then make sure that you inspect them carefully before you hand over any money. Inspect all parts of the golf club or putter, for wear and damage, including the club head, the shaft, and the grip. Another golf tip that will improve your game is to make sure that the clubs form a matched set. You don't want to mix and match golf clubs and putters if you want to achieve consistency in your game. Also make sure that you find out the new price of the club or putter first, so that you know if the used club is good value for money. You might also want to check in advance, the cost of repairing a club so that you can take this into account as well. A golf tip for any golfer who is contemplating to re-grip his clubs: Take great care as the golf club grip is the only point of contact on the club that you can use to influence your shot. This is even more true when re-gripping golf putters. So before beginning any replacement of a grip, measure the core grip of the club together with your hand grip size.

To determine your golf club's core size grip, measure the diameter of the butt of the shaft that you're going to re-grip. The grip's core diameter should match the diameter of the shaft. To find your hand grip size, choose from the available size grips which consist of regular, medium size, oversize and jumbo. Use only the top quality re-gripping materials that you can get, in order to guarantee the the best performance for your golf clubs.

Another golfing tip is that using badly-fitting clubs will will not be helpful to playing a good round of golf. A good golfer must take into account his or her body type in selecting the best-fitting equipment to support and deliver the backswings efficiently. It is important to avoid an overly steep an angle in a backswing and this can be avoided by playing with correctly fitting golf clubs.

A custom golf club fitting may be a more sensible option than simply buying new standard size golf clubs. Having custom fitted golf clubs is one golf tip that you might find to be a very worthwhile investment. You will play a better round of golf, you will putt better on the green and be less likely to damage any muscles if you play with custom made golf clubs.

It is the individual build and shape of each person that is the reason for the growth in this way of buying new golf clubs and putters. A custom fitting will produce golf clubs that are built to specifically suit the height, strength and swing characteristics of the golfer as well as being designed for the optimum club head speed.

The type of club shaft also helps in determining your success in the game. Shafts are no longer made of wood. There's a choice between a steel club shaft and a graphite-made club shaft. The golf tip here is to determine which of the two types of golf club shaft will benefit your particular game. The steel club shafts are preferred by professional golfers while the graphite shafts have are popular with women, senior players and beginners. Another consideration is that steel shafts are less expensive than graphite shafts.

Another golf tip that could help you play a winning game is that the clubs and putters that form the core of your bag must match your skill level. Different levels of skill will get an advantage from different types of golf clubs. It will not improve your game if you use any golf club or putter that you are given. Take care with your choice of golf club and build a set of clubs that best suit you as an individual. Sacrifice quantity for quality if you have to and as time goes by, build up a quality set of custom clubs and putters.

And as a last golf tip, always remember the maximum number of golf clubs that you are allowed in your golf bag. You are permitted to only carry 14 golf clubs in your bag. Absolutely no more. Even the professionals have been known to overload their golf bag!

As well as your skill level, your selection of each golf club in your golf bag and your familiarity with using it will have a direct impact on your handicap. From golf driver to golf putter, the knowledge, selection and familiarity with your golf clubs is an essential aspect of your golf game success.

A good mixture of the right shots and a good choice of golf clubs, putters and equipment will ensure that you will develop into the best golfer you could ever be.

Scotty Cameron Kombi putters feature Studio Select heel and toe weighting technology to ensure proper head weight to length properties. They also provide multiple length options per model. An additional weighting point (factory adjustable for Kombi, non- adjustable for Kombi Mid or Kombi Long) pushes the CG deep to stabilize the putter throughout the stroke for a great roll and unmatched feel and sound.

The player preferred shape flows into the ground from top line to rear. The clean top line reduces visual thickness and makes face alignment easy. Additionally, Kombi putters feature a full shaft of offset for an unobstructed look at address.

Studio Select Kombi H putters, available in 34" and 35" models, feature a heavier head (+10g) to provide a heavier feel preferred by some players. Studio Select Kombi H models are custom built at Titleist and are differentiated by a special Circle H shaft band.

Kombi

This is a hi-performance putter. Smooth curves and sleek styling give the Tour-tested Studio Select Kombi a comfortable feel. Advanced technology and superior craftsmanship give the Kombi the performance attributes you expect from a Scotty Cameron putter.

Precision milled 6061 aircraft aluminum gave Scotty the volume and shape qualities he wanted, while the stainless steel sole weights give the putter head the proper weight. These elements create a mallet of remarkable balance and form.

This putter uses the factory interchangeable stainless steel sole weights, which can be changed out at the Scotty Cameron Custom Shop. The Studio Select Kombi incorporates a weighting system, which allows the weight of the putter head to be
1000
perfectly matched with the player’s preferred shaft length.

Kombi Mid

Scotty created the Kombi Mid to inspire confidence and—most importantly—to produce results for players who prefer the stability of a belly putter. The belly putter helps to keep hands out of the equation, producing a repeatable, confident stroke.

Scotty developed this 3-point-weighted mallet with its stainless steel center sole weight bar and triangulated stainless steel weights for perfect balance. At 43” with a new custom split grip and a double bend stepless shaft, the Kombi Mid sets the new standard in performance for belly putters.

Looking for the perfect belly putter? This is it!

Kombi Long

Originally designed for a few Tour players looking for a longer putter, the Kombi Long is 50-inches.

The United States Golf Association mandates that a putter have at least 10 degrees of lie angle from a straight up and down angle of ninety degrees. At a lie angle of seventy-nine degrees, the Kombi Long lets the player stand nearly upright, anchoring the shaft to the sternum for a steady stroke at the optimal long putter setup.

Scotty developed this 3-point-weighted mallet with its stainless steel center sole weight bar and triangulated stainless weights to give this putter exceptional balance. The Kombi Long is the new standard for long putters.

The T-shaped, high contrast red sight lines provide easy alignment guides, making the Kombi Long the premier long putter.

Because of its bearing on your golf handicap, putting has caused more inventiveness in search of perfection than anything in the game. Players have all sorts of styles and movements, all unique to the individual. Despite these innovative efforts, one thing remains true: there's no substitute for a sound putting stroke.

Below we describe the putting technique of two professional golfers-Isao Aoki and Nick Price. They've adopted different putting styles, yet both are considered excellent putters.

The Setup

Japan's Isao Aoki posses a superb putting stroke locked into a strange and individual style. Nevertheless, he is renowned putter. In fact, putting is probably the best part of his game. Aoki addresses the ball with the top of his putter high in the air. His hands are low and he crouches over significantly.

Nick Price' style, on the other hand, is more classic. His technique is based on a locked left wrist and a shoulder-dominated stroke. At address, he keeps his shoulders square to the intended line, and his hands over or just ahead of the ball. He crouches slightly over the ball, but not nearly as much as Aoki.

Despite the differences in style, both players do one thing all great putters do at address-they keep their eyes directly over the ball. It's the most important ingredient in the setup, irrespective of a person's height, build, or style. Keeping you're eyes directly over the ball and turning your head allows a direct view down the line to the hole, without any need to move the shoulders out of alignment.

The Stroke

Aoki is a touch putter, so he uses his hands more than his shoulders, and takes the club back steeply, with the right hand controlling the takeaway. At the top of the backswing, his putter is high off the ground-an unusual position for a good putter. Nevertheless, it works well for Aoki. His stroke is smooth and rhythmical.

Price's technique is based on a shoulder-dominated stroke. His arms, shoulders, and putter move away from the ball as a single unit, with the hands remaining passive. He keeps his wrist firm during the stroke. And he strikes on the upstroke. Price uses more of a pendulum motion than Aoki, swinging the putter smoothly and rhythmically back and forth.

Making a smooth, flowing stroke is not a problem for most players, witness the golfers who take golf lessons from me. Many have nice fluid strokes. The problem arises when a ball is introduced. The ball for whatever reason hampers the putt. A good drill to help eliminate this problem is to start by taking a normal practice stroke. Then address the ball, close your eyes, and repeat the stroke-letting the ball get in the way. The drill makes the real stroke more like the practice one.

The Follow-Through

During the follow-through, Aoki brings the head of the putter back into a square position at impact. His head remains perfectly still throughout the stroke. Aoki remains virtually motionless afterwards, careful that the slightest movement doesn't affect his putt. His head stays still except to follow the ball well after the stroke.

Price keeps his left wrist locked in position through the hitting zone and into the follow- through. He accelerates the putter-head through impact and makes sure his follow- through is as long as his backswing. He, too, keeps his head as steady as possible through the stroke. And he keeps his eyes fixed on the spot where the ball was well after the stroke.

Despite their different styles, both players remain practically motionless after the putt is made. It is imperative to making a good putt. Lifting your head too soon when putting can throw off your putt. The Show Me The Money Drill we covered in last week's golf tips is great for this flaw.

The Show Me the Money drill works for three reasons. It forces you to keep your eyes steady, helping to stabilize your whole body. It prevents you from lifting out of your stance prematurely. And because you're focused on the coin and not the ball, it inclines you to make a nice clean stroke through the ball.

Conclusion

If you want to lower your golf handicap, you need to improve your putting. Nearly half of the strokes made during a full round of golf are putts. Cutting down on your putts will lower your scores and golf handicap. Of course, not everyone will have the same putting style. But one thing remains true: there's no substitute for a sound putting stroke-irrespective of how it looks.

There are a number of styles and designs to choose from. Ping has created a number of putter heads that have become classics, and each is available in the multiple Ping series to ensure the maximum comfort level on the green.

Among the Ping putters for sale is the iWi series, which offers interchangeable weights to allow golfers to customize to ensure their ideal weight and balance. They are available for sale in the Ping iWi Anser, Ping iWi B60, Ping iWi Craz-e, and Ping iWi D66 models.

The Ping i-Series is a classic award-winning model with a high MOI, a soft feel, and a great alignment aid to get the putts moving in the right direction. These Ping putters are for sale in the Ping i-Series Anser, Ping i-Series B60, and Ping i-Series Craz-E models.

The Ping Karsten series combines an elastomer insert and a steel face for a great combination of feel and performance. They are available for sale in the Ping Karsten Anser, the Ping Karsten Anser 2, the Ping Karsten B60, the Ping Karsten Craz-E, and Ping Karsten Z models.

When it comes to choosing a putter, it is only natural to ask yourself - what putter does Phil Mickelson use? Phil is one of the greatest golfers of the current era, and his short game is a source of inspiration for many golfers worldwide.

Phil Mickelson's putter of the moment is Odyssey White Hot XG #9. Phil  is a very skillful player, and he knows how to control and aim his putts perfectly. To assist him in that task, Odyssey White Hot XG #9 features two marks on the face of the putter that allow anyone to line up the putts perfectly.

The Odyssey brand itself is rich with history. It has firmly become one of the most recognized brands in putters, and with the takeover from Callaway, a new generation of putters began - White Hot. As one might expect from a name like that, the putters put in a hot performance on the pitch, which is completed by the hot looks of every model in these series.

So if you are looking to match Phil Mickelson's stellar performance on the pitch, White Hot XG #9 may be the right choice for you.

A lot of the work involves taking an honest look at the strengths and weaknesses of an individual's putting game. The first step is to determine the desired length. Most golfers use putters between 33 and 35 inches, but long putters can be useful for players with back problems and some find belly putters to be more stable and easy to hit straight.

The natural next step for most golfers is to check out how the club looks and feels. Some golfers like blade heads and others like mallets. Some want pronounced alignment aids like the Odyssey 2-ball, and others feel more comfortable with a traditional and minimalist stick. Different lofts can affect the roll on the green, and factors like the club’s weighting and hosel shape can make a bid difference in performance. There's also the question of the hitting surface. A solid steel putter head will perform differently than one with an insert.

Ultimately, however, putting is about confidence. And there's no way to become a confident putter without knocking down some putts.

That brings us to the fun part of choosing putters -- trying them out. To choose the right putter, it's important to test out as many as it takes to find the best one. Whether that's taking a rack of putters at the golf shop to the artificial hitting surface to see how they perform on five-footers or getting some demo putters to take out on the golf course or putting green, it's that kind of effort that ensures that the chosen putter will be one that helps improve performances on the green.

Therefore, it is vital to get good quality, yet cheap clubs. If you are a beginner looking for an entry level putter, and have around $50-$100 to spend on it, then look no further than the Odyssey Black Series #1 putter. It is a well designed tool that will get your ball in the hole time after time.

Some of the most outstanding features are the hollow region just behind the putter head. It ensures that the inertia is distributed in the most appropriate way, and will move the ball forward in the correct trajectory.

In our opinion, Odyssey Black Series #1 is one of the best beginners putters available today.

Curious to know what putter Tiger Woods uses? It's a Scotty Cameron Studio Stainless Newport 2.

The putter is traditional, and deadly accurate. Titleist Scotty Cameron putters in general can be found in many Tour Players' golf bags. Some of the other Pro's using Scotty Cameron putters are Ernie Els and David Love III.

Studio Newport 2 Putter has a large sweet spot, making it easy to hit the ball straight. It also includes interchangeable weights that allow sufficient customization to those who are looking to tinker with the club.
