Ping Introduces New Putter

The Ping Isopur2 series of putters, featuring tungsten weights in the heel and toe, will be launched at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando later this month.

"Adding tungsten weights to the heel and toe of our most successful stainless steel putters is a design innovation that will enhance the performance benefits of perimeter weighting," said John Solheim, Ping's chairman and CEO.

"We've also been able to lower the centre of gravity in the Isopur2 series,
making the ball roll better off the putter face. Our Isopur2 putters are more
forgiving and will offer golfers improved putting performance as well as
enhanced optics.

"The new Isopur2 putters are slightly heavier than the Isopur models they
replace. Tungsten is more than twice the density of steel. Many golfers
prefer heavier putters because they encourage a smoother stroke."

The nine Isopur2 models will be available for delivery in early spring. Suggested retail price for eight of them is £110 while the long-shafted Isopur2 B90 putter will cost £125.
