For Ping, the Scottsdale name is a meaningful one, so you can assume big things from putters that bear that name.
With the 2025 Scottsdale line, Ping is releasing nine putter models with technology borrowed from the running shoe industry.
“The Scottsdale name has a special meaning to Ping, dating back to the early days of the company in my grandfather Karsten Solheim’s garage, where his revolutionary ideas changed the equipment industry,” said Ping President and CEO John K. Solheim. “The new line of putters includes some of the highest-performing models in our history, like the standard-setting Anser, and the popular Craz-E model, which was ahead of its time more than 20 years ago with its unique shaping and alignment features.”
Here are five things to know about the new Ping Scottsdale line.
At the core of the new Scottsdale family is a new PEBAX elastomer insert. PEBAX is commonly used in the running shoe industry because of its elastic properties.
When used as an insert in a putter, it provides a lightweight, high-energy return for a soft and responsive feel that Ping says will help improve distance control and consistency.
The PEBAX insert is also combined with large face-insert cavities to reposition weight on each head toward the perimeter and increase MOI and stability. Some of the head sizes on the putters have also been increased from previous releases to ensure more forgiveness.
“We like to categorize these as game-improvement putters,” Solheim said.
Each Scottsdale putter will come standard with a new exclusive SuperStroke grip.
“We’re also excited to collaborate with SuperStroke on the putter’s grip,” Solheim said. “Their Tour-proven grip technology adds even more value to the Scottsdale putter family. Its pistol shape and reduced taper help ensure performance by providing optimal feel and stability, leading to more confidence over every putt.”
With its color codes system, Ping has always been a fitting-focused company, and that trend continues with the launch of the Ping WebFit Putter app.
“With the introduction of the WebFit Putter app, finding a PING model to fit your game is easier than ever,” Solheim said.
Similar to the previously released WebFit Wedge app, the WebFit Putter app asks the user a series of questions on how a player aligns, typical misses and putter preferences to help determine which Ping putter is best for their game.
The new app will be able to recommend both the new Scottsdale line as well as PLD Milled putters.
Each of the nine shapes features a high-contrast black nickel finish. Several have unique alignment aids.
Most notably, Ping is reintroducing the popular Craz-E mallet, which has not been in a Ping putter release since the Sigma G Craz-E was introduced in late 2017.
“The popular Craz-E model, which was ahead of its time more than 20 years ago with its unique shaping and alignment features,” Solheim said.
Each of Ping’s three-stroke types is covered by the nine models, with four putters matching straight stroke putters, four matching slight arcs, and the Anser 4 fitting best with those who have strong arcs.
