Ping Karsten Series Craz-E Mallet Putter Review

2011 Review

Design-wise, this was very similar to the Wolverine but the testers seemed to get on better with this. Chris summed up the performance of the product eloquently, saying “It’s not the most attractive, but it is highly effective”. George felt it was a little heavier than some of the others on the test, and he said the solid feel didn’t give him that much confidence. Jon felt this was quite a forgiving putter, however, and enjoyed some good results even when the ball didn’t come bang out of the middle of the face.

2010 Review

A very stylish looking putter with a solid weighty feel and solid at impact. I think the sign of a good putter is the ability to let it flow through the ball and trusting the design and weighting to keep it online. It is easy to align, very stable and it gave me an extremely consistent set of results with plenty of putts holed in the 12-15ft scoring range.

The elastomer cavity insert in the investment-cast 17-4 stainless-steel head redistributes weight for a high MOI. This design is intended to reduce vibration and create the feel of a steel face. The blue-accented alignment aids stand out against the grey steel, and the myriad lie, loft and length options make this putter easy to customize.
