The shaft comes in a new black chrome finish and has created a firmer feel to the previous incarnation, which some golfers felt was a little lightweight. Throughout their long history Ping have become well-known as pioneers in the golf industry, and this seems set to continue thanks to the adjustments made to their adjustable-length shaft technology. Ping say that they conducted plenty of testing on this, and found that the acoustics of this putter made it easier for the golfers to recognise where they'd struck the ball on the face whilst also increasing confidence. The face has no grooves this time around, it's just flat, milled and simple. The choice of either an aluminium body/steel face or a steel body/aluminium face is positioned deliberately in order to get the centre of gravity in the correct position to maximise forgiveness and consistency in that head. The Hepplers are aimed at golfers seeking a firmer impact and sound with the short-stick, thanks to a machined face which is either aluminium or steel depending on the model. This range of putters is going to run alongside the existing Sigma 2 range from Ping, which provides a softer feel thanks to its True Roll groove technology. A typically classy touch from a classy company. Rick continued to work for Ping for many years until he passed away, and so the brand decided to pay tribute to his efforts and dedication by giving him his own range. The putters are named after a guy called Rick Heppler, who was considered to be one of Ping's very first employees, helping to build putters in the Solheim family garage all the way back in the 1960s. Having used Ping putters for most of my career, I am always excited to hear that the brand has released a new range, and so when the chance came to try out the new Heppler putters, I couldn't wait to find out more.
