PING may be synonymous with the iconic Anser blade but modern PING putters are much more than classic looks. In 2025, the Scottsdale lineup showed real range from the strong-arc Prime Tyne 4 mallet that excels on mid to long putts to the Scottsdale Anser blade that shines from mid-range. We’ve pulled the latest MyGolfSpy results so you can see how each PING option performs across short, medium and long putts and pick the model that matches your stroke.
PING putter test results
PuttView Handicap is a Strokes Gained–style metric where a lower (more negative) number is better. Short, medium and long putting performance are measured separately, along with an overall average.
| Model | Category | Overall | Short | Medium | Long |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PING Scottsdale Prime Tyne 4 | Mallet | -7.5 | -5.3 | -8.7 | -10.5 |
| PING Scottsdale CRAZ-E | Mallet | -5.8 | -4.3 | -5.5 | -9.1 |
| PING Scottsdale Anser | Blade | -4.9 | -4.3 | -4.2 | -6.9 |
| PING PLD Milled Anser 4D | Blade | -3.1 | -1.5 | -0.9 | -8.4 |
Which one is for you?
The best overall PING mallet in 2025 was the Scottsdale Prime Tyne 4 and the best PING blade was the Scottsdale Anser. PING didn’t have an entry in the zero-torque test this year. If you want to dig a little deeper, here’s how to match each model to your game:
Scottsdale Prime Tyne 4 (Mallet): Best for players who want help on medium and long putts and prefer a strong-arc, heel-shafted shape. If your stroke has rotation and you lag putt a lot, Tyne 4’s -8.7 (medium) and -10.5 (long) PuttView HCP results line up nicely. Skip it if you need a face-balanced/straight-back feel.
Scottsdale CRAZ-E (Mallet) — A steadier, classic PING mallet with strong performance on long putts (-9.1 long). A good choice if you want a familiar look and reliable distance control on longer rolls. Not ideal if you’re chasing top-tier short/medium scoring.
That low, penetrating ball flight that cuts through wind like a laser beam? That’s the stinger, golf’s most satisfying shot when executed properly. While most golfers associate stingers with long irons, your 3-wood can produce an even more devastating version of this shot.
The 3-wood stinger isn’t just a show-off move. It’s a strategic weapon that keeps the ball out of trouble, fights the wind and rolls out for extra distance on firm fairways. Master this shot and you’ll have a reliable option when conditions demand precision over height.
Why the 3-wood makes the perfect stinger club
Most amateurs think stingers require blade irons and “tour-level” skills. Wrong. The 3-wood’s design actually makes hitting stingers easier than with long irons.
The club’s weight distribution naturally promotes the descending blow essential for stinger trajectory. Unlike a driver, which wants to sweep the ball clean, the 3-wood allows and even encourages that slightly downward attack angle.
Loft works in your favor as well. At 15 degrees, a 3-wood provides enough loft to get airborne while maintaining a penetrating ball flight. Hit it properly and you’ll get that distinctive boring trajectory that seems to defy physics.
Collin Morikawa admitted the behavior of American fans at the Ryder Cup "crossed the line" but does not believe he was partly to blame for inflaming the atmosphere.

After much consideration, I’ve come to a provocative conclusion.
Among all of golf’s OEMs, Tour Edge may be the most intriguing to watch in 2026. That’s not to say its equipment will be the best performing or that Tour Edge will outsell the Big Four. We fully expect Tour Edge equipment to continue its traditional solid and sometimes spectacular performance in our testing, and we believe Tour Edge will build upon what company president Tim Clarke says has been a stellar (for them) 2025.
Those things are a given.
What we are saying is that, given its new leadership and badly needed rebranding, it will be fascinating to see where Tour Edge goes in the coming year. Tour Edge has evolved through various identities over its 40-year existence, but this rebranding appears purposeful and research-based. Whether it fulfills the company’s goals is an open question, but credit where credit is due.
Tour Edge ain’t standing still.
