There have been hints that Ping has a new line of putters in the works—including some curious prototypes being used by a couple of its staffers in recent months—but a new line introduced this week on tour is something all its own.

The line of milled putters is going under the name Vault, a reference to Ping’s famous collection of gold-plated and solid gold putters created for tournament winners. The Vault line includes two blades, Anser2 (above) and Voss, and two mallets, Oslo and Bergen. The Voss, Oslo and Bergen are named for cities in Norway. Ping founder Karsten Solheim was born in Bergen in 1911. 

The face on the Vault putters appears to feature a milled pattern with a series of intersecting arcs. Another feature on the putters is a new grip called the Ping Pistol, which appears to be an oversized, less tapered style.

These models have milled heads with a new face groove pattern. Ping’s current face groove technology, called True Roll (TR), has parallel grooves that are thickest in the middle and shallowest along the edges. The TR design produces ball speeds on the heel and toe that are similar to center hits.

The Vault series has more of a swirly, concentric face pattern. The putters also come with an oversize pistol grip, which should help quiet the hands through the stroke.
