| PING Scottsdale TEC Ketsch Onset (2026) | Mallet | not published | RH | 35" | Maker calls the head a Mallet. Lightweight aluminum body with a dense stainless steel sole plate positions mass low and to the perimeter "to ensure extreme MOI and optimal CG for high forgiveness and consistent roll" (no MOI number published). CG sits behind the shaft axis so it is pulled through the stroke for stability and less twisting. Hosel/neck: Onset hosel, which gives a full-face view of the ball to aid alignment. Alignment aid: eye-tracking-derived focal point on the top rail plus a long alignment line, to quiet the eyes before the stroke. Stroke type Slight Arc, head weight 350g, lie 20 degrees non-adjustable, loft 3 degrees non-adjustable, matte-black stepless steel shaft, PING SuperStroke 2.0 Pistol Tour grip. NOTE: loft_options is used here for putter LENGTHS in inches, not lofts. | $397read 2026-09-06 | maker's page |
Every figure for these PING clubs is read from the maker's own product page, with a shop's new price standing in where the maker publishes none and the club page saying which (prices read 2026-09-06); a cell that says not published means nobody publishes it and we do not guess. Sorted by price, cheapest first. How we compare.
