PING is expanding its precision-milled putter series with the addition of three new PLD Milled models – The PLD Milled Anser D, Oslo 4 and Anser 2 (matte black) are available at PING authorized retailers committed to selling premium, custom-fit putters.
“After establishing the PLD name several years ago as an extension of the PING Putting Lab, we officially announced the Putting Lab Design (PLD) program one year ago this week. A key part of the program is the PLD Milled series, which offers golfers premium, precision-milled putters inspired by tour players,” said PING Golf President John K. Solheim said. “We’ve been very pleased with the results and feedback across the entire program. It allows us to bring golfers more of what we do best – design and build the highest-performing putters in the game. In the case of the PLD Milled line, we’re continuing to add tour-inspired models to bring golfers the latest in score-lowering performance on the green.”
The three new PLD Milled models (MSRP: $485) join models introduced last year, which represent a combination of standard-setting favorites, such as the Anser and newer, tour-inspired models, including the DS72, the choice of multiple-time winner Viktor Hovland.
The Anser D and Oslo 4 are entirely new, high-MOI designs, developed in collaboration with PING pros Bubba Watson and Tyrrell Hatton, respectively. The new Anser 2 is distinguished by its matte-black finish and retains all the technology and performance of the satin-finish version introduced last year.
Each of the seven designs in the family are fully machined from forged, 303 stainless steel. Each model features Deep AMP (Aggressive Milling Pattern) face technology, precisely milled for tour-preferred sound, feel and speed. More than four hours of milling time, according to Solheim, are required for every model, precisely shaping every surface and radius to achieve the high quality and premium look expected in a precision-milled putter.
“Our intention with the PLD Milled series is to offer our most popular models from the past and add new, tour-influenced designs on a regular basis,” Solheim said. “As we collaborate on new designs with our engineers and tour staff through the PLD program, we’ll expand the line to
ensure golfers have access to our newest technologies and processes.”
