PING Golf Heppler Putters - Mallet Style
FIRM and FORGIVING
Product is expected to begin
shipping March 5, 2020
The Heppler putters offer a machined, solid face for golfers
who prefer a firmer impact feel and sound. Multi-material (cast aluminum and
steel) mallets and mid-mallets provide extreme forgiveness and optimal CG for
accuracy and consistency. A premium, contrasting copper and black finish
provides alignment cues and visual interest. A stiffer adjustable-length shaft
(in exclusive black chrome) is standard and golfers can be fit for all stroke
types (Straight, Slight Arc, Strong Arc).
Features:
Multi-material
designs
A precision aluminum casting process creates machined-like
detail and quality in multiple mid-mallets and mallets. PING engineers combined
the lighter aluminum with steel through strategic shaping and weight placement
to produce extremely high MOI designs. The new Tomcat 14, which features a
14-dot alignment aid inspired by the lights on an airport runway, is the
highest MOI in the series.

MODELS
Fetch
To elevate MOI over the Sigma 2 Fetch, which has steel
bordering the center cutout, designers used aluminum here, then steel in the
heel-toe ballasting for increased forgiveness. The color contrasting helps you
focus on the alignment lines, causing the holed-out section to fade and not be
the primary focus.
Floki
The strong-arc mallet is enjoying popularity, and the Floki
expands a player’s fitting options while boasting the second-highest MOI in the
Heppler line, owing to its 2/3 steel, 1/3 aluminum construction. Significant steel
around the perimeter prevents twisting and its copper color contrasted against
the black aluminum is designed to inspire confidence.
Ketsch
Its sole is steel, which also wraps the perimeter, a big
reason this ½ steel, ½ aluminum Ketsch nearly doubles the MOI of the PING Vault
2.0 Ketsch. Like all the Heppler mallets, it effectively utilizes
multi-material construction, and is the only putter in the family with three
alignment lines, which frame the ball.
Piper Armlock
A mid-mallet is the predominant putter style among armlock
players for its desirable head shape, and this Piper relies on the same low-CG,
high-MOI, heel-toe weighted Piper C head. The difference is a non-adjustable
double-bend shaft that attaches heel-side as opposed to the center, a 21-inch
grip, and 6° standard loft.
Tomcat 14
Airport runway lights inspired the alignment dots in the
highest-MOI model in the Heppler family. The dots get closer together front to
back to simulate motion, help with eye tracking, and frame the ball. The back
ballasts are cored out and steel filled in this ½ steel, ½ aluminum putter.
Tyne 3
At address, the ratio of aluminum to steel appears to be
50/50; in fact, steel accounts for 2/3 of the weight, created by a thick back
flange, resulting in a lower, much deeper CG and a higher MOI.
