The PING Scottsdale putters boast a soft, wide face insert for a true, consistent roll. The dark color scheme and multiple head options provide something for every type of player.
Introduction
When PING was founded in 1959 by Karsten Solheim, it all started with putters. He even named the company PING because of the “ping” sound that was made when the putter struck the ball. All these years later and PING still makes some of the best putters used by dozens of professionals like Viktor Hovland, Tony Finau, and Sahith Theegala, among many others.
While much of their history and success was predicated on milled putters, they have also seen success with their face insert designs as well. Even in the amateur ranks, PING has shown that its products are among the best. For 2025, there is a seven model PING Scottsdale putter line and we got our hands on a few of them to see how they stack up.
Looks
As we have often seen in past PING putters, the Scottsdale series features a fairly neutral appearance with a splash of color. The body of each putter is matte black with a textured finish and a white alignment line in the flange. At first glance, the leading edge and body appear the same color but in certain angles, especially from above in sunlight, the top line is charcoal in color. The only exception is the Craz-E model which is all textured charcoal and forgoes the two tone like the other designs.
The sole features the same textured matte black finish in addition to a brushed steel design and light blue accents that extend up into the bottom of the face. In addition to the blue stripe that defines the bottom of the face, the face insert is all black and textured. There are no grooves or milling at all. For most of the PING Scottsdale putters, the insert extends from heel to toe with the exception of the DS72 which has a shortened face insert as seen below.
Sound & Feel
The sound and feel of the PING Scottsdale putters is all about the face insert. Each strike elicits a deep, muted “tock” at impact. The insert sounds solid and low in volume like a high end putter. What I love about an insert is its ability to be so consistent in sound even on less than perfect strikes. However, catch one way in on the heel or out on the toe and the sound gets a little more clicky.
The feel in each one of these putters is subtle yet solid. Much like the sound, there is a consistent feel with each and every strike. Putts that may not find the center of the face are much less harsh than a milled putter, which I enjoyed. Feedback is right on par with what I expect from a face insert as only the worst strikes elicit vibration into the grip and hands.
Performance
So, why should you look at a PING Scottsdale putter? The most notable feature in this line of putters is the PEBAX face insert. We saw this same PEBAX face engineered in the PING 2021 putter line [review HERE] but it had grooves. For 2025, PING decided to get rid of the grooves and go with a consistent textured face. This PEBAX material is lightweight, soft and is unaffected by temperature so those who play in extreme climates can rest easy knowing your ball will always roll the same.
Whether I was on the course or indoors testing on my putting mat, the face insert was consistent with its roll. There were no hot spots or balls that sporadically jumped off the face. There was certainly some changes in strikes away from center, but distance control remained entirely in the player’s hands.
While the face insert is present in each model, PING made sure to provide a head shape for every type of player. The one that surprised me the most was the Craz-E model, shown above. While it does have a large footprint, the perimeter weighting provides impressive balance with each stroke. Short putts were almost hard to miss because of the stability which will surprise a lot of golfers. If you can get past the wild design, this could be a game changer.
There are so many different options and styles within the PING Scottsdale putter line that if a face insert is your thing, PING has a putter for you at a reasonable price of $249. The Craz-E head along with the Oslo 3, B63, Prime Tyne C, both Anser models, the DS72 and Prime Tyne 4 come with a standard PING SuperStroke pistol grip in a blue that matches the accents in the putter head. PING also offers the Craz-E model in a 38 inch counterbalanced version that comes with a 17 inch grip. Of course, if you prefer the traditional black PING grips, those are offered at no upcharge.
Conclusion
PING continues to offer something for every player with its 2025 Scottsdale line of putters. While there are more than a half dozen head shapes, unique shaft and neck options, and custom features available, the main attraction is the new PEBAX face insert. The true and consistent roll from the insert on the PING Scottsdale putters should be on the must try list for 2025.
