 Right, good morning everybody and welcome back to my newly named channel, which is just the average golfer and I am here this morning. I am clearly back in the UK It's probably not as cold as I'm feeling right now. So just that well 10 days in Warmer places, let's say, but I'm back at Heswell Golf Club That's the one good thing and I'm here to test a new putter from Ping Now I've got the it's the Ping Sigma 2 range of putters I have been sent the the fetch model There are several models and I'll throw up some images for you now of those several models available though The actual product I will be testing this one is the fetch model now and the big thing about the Ping putters is New face insert, which we'll talk about in a second or two But the big difference is the ability to adjust the putter length. So very much all designed once again around custom fit I'm going to start off by making some adjustments to what I think don't forget the important thing is to get custom fit I'm going to adjust this putter length to what I think is suitable for me personally Then I'm going to hit some golf balls and a little bit of putting on the screen that I'm stood on and we'll start to discuss What the Ping product is all about and what I think about it Right, so before we pay any attention So let's look at the putter head and talk about how it feels and all those kind of things that We're going to associate with a putter review. Let's have a look at this adjustability and how it works. So basically you get a little Object like this. This is your do not lose this and basically this Goes into the end of the putter head. It's a little Allen key screw or Allen key type I'm basically so I'm looking at as a plus sign and minus sign plus sign obviously increases the height and Yeah, you guessed it minus sign decreases the height and on the bottom Underneath rather of the shaft. There's some little marking bars which start off the lowest you can go to on this is 32 inch And I think it goes all the way up to sort of 36 inch Let's have a look Quite a bit of adjustability there Very secure and stable. There's no idea this thing is going to start moving midway through Yeah midway through the round it feels very solid indeed So 32, 33, 34, 35 and yeah all the way up to 36 inches all was right So for me normally I would have a putter at 33 inches Ping give a guideline like I said you should get custom fit for this but ping give a guideline on how a Putter should sit at a dress and one of the major things is your eyes literally should be sat When in your putting position eyes directly perched above the ball Also talks about how the club fate a club head should sit onto the ground as well I'll throw up an image and their advice on how that should be done But my advice would be is to go and get custom fit for this type of putter But I'm gonna set this putter up at 33 inches first of all and I'll see how it sits Our address for me at 33 inches, which I would normally play So for me personally I would have a little bit of a mess around with that and try and I'm gonna I'm gonna just Slightly higher than over 34 inch and have a little bit of a play around with that But the all-important message is get custom fit But the message from Ping is an interesting one they claim that eight out of ten golfers are incorrectly Fitted with their current putter so playing at the wrong putter length and Claim that by getting it right and by getting custom fit it will make a big difference to your putting stats Interesting claim not sure where they've got that data from but we can always trust Ping in terms of that claim I've no doubt Next thing the big thing for Ping and what they've introduced like I said in this putter is the putter face They're using a material called P-backs. They call it a dual Dermata face. I have no idea what that means What I can get from the notes is that it is basically Using two different thicknesses of this P-backs material putting them together to and combine they produce two different I would say feelings if you like Feeling is a hard thing to quantify with a putter and always difficult to do in a putter review But what their claim is it's got a very soft feel for those who like that softness that the Responsiveness from a putter when in your hands, but it also has got that kind of hard Ping off the face That again would appeal to others. So this that's where this dual Dermata, I don't know what my word means, but I assume that's what I say It's got two different Senses if you like in terms of translating that into feeling Okay, so it's we shall see I'll put some more and I'll I'll give you my feedback But you what has arguably one of the most impressive things I've ever seen on a putter How cool is that? So for those of you struggle to pick your ball about the golf ball and no doubt I'll be getting there soon enough one interesting little addition that is right, so let's talk about overall opinions now on this putter and a Real interesting one from when I started when I took it off the cover because I'm gonna start with Yeah, start with negative when I'm well in on a positive Negatives for me are not really keen on the finish and the looks of this putter once again I'll throw the images up on this particular style and It's just unping like in its finish for me. I don't know whether it's this edition of this Bowl turquoise color. I just don't know, but it just doesn't look like This is a RRP 200 pound putter And for me it just doesn't look that way to be honest Yeah, I've got to be honest as ever and and that's the real downer So that's for me shelf appeal is a massive thing and how a putter looks on the eye is a big deal. So Whether or not I want to give this a chance from off the shelf. I'm not so sure now then let's get to the positives The dual-derometer face P-backs material this idea it can have two different feelings off the face Again very skeptical when I went out. How do you achieve both things? But oddly enough I genuinely think they do achieve that the feeling off the face is really interesting It's exactly what they say it almost has two different senses if you like and I I mean don't take my word for this something you're gonna have to try for yourself But I genuinely believe that the the insert in the face is really really Appealing and I liked it and I'll the more I used it the more I got used to it You see that I tried I've got a pink putter at the moment that I'm using and the mill face in that is a lot lot firmer If I'm honestly that I assumed I would much prefer it and as the time went on this really started to appeal to me I really did like it look no putter sticks the ball in the hole for you as no driver finds fairways You know it's all down to technique at the end of the day, but It grew on me a lot One thing just to say as well the greens today and not particularly great for test now So let's give pink a little bit of Yeah allowance in that the balls aren't rolling great. They've all been Sanded and top dress. So yeah, not great putters greens to be trying to put her on I suppose But that aside, I think if we're talking about feeling the adjustability thing I think is massive I think it's a real big bonus. I think that's again a major positive I think getting that putter height right and being able to do that and adjust it is key But get it done by somebody who knows what they're doing Three different grip types in this and again all about being for me putting is all about confidence about being Comfortable over the ball and it's about being confident that the strike on the ball from wherever you hit across the club face Because again just MOI and putters important now because we don't was average golfers find that sense of strike To know that ball is going to release the same or consistently across the club face is major important So again a big positive. I love the idea that people can stick this in the cup and pick the ball out very lazy But I like that idea as well. So for me It'd be interesting to see what happens over the next few months because I'm gonna carry on playing with this for the rest of this round and Yeah, I don't know it really interesting I'm surprised I'm surprised how much I ended up liking it because like I said it started off on a negative But it's ended up very much on a high anyway As ever, thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed it testing from the average golfers perspective Thumbs up if you liked it comments down below and I'll catch you very soon on C upload tv It's not to upload tv anymore.
