Ping’s new Sigma 2 putters are length-adjustable, and one of them “fetches” the ball from the hole
We recently spotted photos of Ping’s new Sigma2 putter line in our GolfWRX forums, but what we didn’t know at the time was that there is an adjustable-length system built into their Pistol grips.
The USGA conforming, length-adjustable feature allows golfers to change lengths between 32 and 36 inches in approximately 0.25-inch increments with a turn of the small Ping wrench that fits into the butt end of the grips.
“The adjustable shaft is just a really cool technology,” said John K. Solheim, Ping President. “Our engineers took a very complex technical challenge and simplified it for the benefit of golfers. It allows you to experiment with various lengths and ultimately self-fit yourself. You’re no longer limited to a specific length measurement. You simply adjust it until you’re comfortable, ideally with your eyes directly over the ball. We call it ‘invisible’ technology but once you customize it to your length, the results will be very clear on your scorecard.”
Also, we’ve since learned that the Sigma2 Fetch putter head fits into a standard size golf hole, and the design allows golfers to simply place the bottom of the putter head into the hole to pick the golf ball out without bending over.
Each of the 9 new head models in the Sigma2 line have a new face technology as well, made to be softer and more responsive than the Sigma G putter faces. The “dual-durometer” face inserts, which are made of PEBAX material, have a softer outer layer, and a firmer inner layer, designed for greater player feedback, according to Ping.
Additionally, Ping’s familiar TR face design pattern alters in depth across the face to speed up mishits — the goal being to have greater speed consistency regardless of where the golfer strikes the ball on the face.
The Sigma2 putters, which are now available for pre-order at Ping golf shops around the world, are offered with either the PP60 (midsize and lightweight), the PP61 (inspired by the PP58), or the PP62 (larger, more rounded shape) grip, which are each equipped with the length-adjustable system.
Read below for full specs of each putter, as per Ping’s press release.

See what GolfWRX Members are saying about the Ping Sigma2 putters.
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.
At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.
The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.
“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley
In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.
To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.
“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.
Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

Lets hope all the “Athletic” players that are going to use the putter to take the ball out of the cup spend some time on the practice tee doing it….no doubt if you do not have the ability to bend over and take the ball out you more then likely will not be able to pull the putter out clean without lifting up a portion of the lip….that next putt from your buddy lips out on a two foot straight putt will be the sign.

Sorry, but Fetch is an absolute disaster to every player following behind that person who is shoving their putter into the hole to retrieve their ball and damaging the cup. NO, NO, NO.
David
Nov 8, 2018 at 7:40 pm
They risk with Fetch is damaging the lip on the way in and out of the cup.
Have a feeling you would really need need to have the Yips(drunk) to cause damage the cup. The same people that don’t fix their divot it will be an issue but not the majority. I applaud the design!

I wish Ping would come out with an Anser 2 model that’s almost identical to the original stainless, clean sole, smooth face, clean sole just with a 340g option. I love my old ping, except for all the lead tape on the bottom! Basically a TR 1966 without face grooves!
Mat
Oct 15, 2018 at 10:38 pm
They do. It’s the weight-option in the Vault 2 line.
Mat
Oct 15, 2018 at 4:38 pm
A few things…
Fetch is going to be a big win with those that their most difficult manoeuvre on the course is getting the ball out of the cup.
The length adjuster is going to be the way ALL putters work soon, in the same way as drivers are impossible to find without an adjustable sleeve. Why? It costs a lot of money to make different lengths… specifically, in “dead inventory”. It’s like making shoes; you always find the wrong size. No more of that; this is *every* size.
And Tynes >>> Spiders

Yes, but will it fetch a ball from a water hazard, too?!
George
Oct 15, 2018 at 4:34 pm
So, you can get a putter that is fitted to your preferred length? Wow, I didn‘t know that was possible until now! Except maybe my 29.25“ putter that was cut to that specific length and weight adjusted.

Christopher
Oct 15, 2018 at 4:20 pm
I’m not sure how useful the Fetch will be, I’d imagine it’s designed with the gimmick of picking the ball up from the ground and not the hole. The ball doesn’t always rest in the middle of the hole and the hole for the flag is sometimes concave (so you’d never get the putter low enough to get the ball above the sole of the putter).
I can’t imagine the damage it would cause, hopefully when putting with the flagstick in is legal it won’t be a huge issue, as players would have to remove the flag and then dip their putters in! After a couple of wrecked holes I can see clubs initiating a local rule banning the practice.
JM
Oct 15, 2018 at 10:43 pm
Absolutely agree. We have a hard enough time getting people to fix ball marks, let alone fixing the damage this will do to the cups. Honestly, I’m surprised Ping would do something like this.
Charlie
Oct 15, 2018 at 3:21 pm
Is the 20 degree lie angle for the putters correct? That seems a bit off…
Christopher Williams
Oct 15, 2018 at 4:07 pm
They measure the other way 0° is at 12 o’clock. so a 70° lie angle becomes a 20°.

A little surprised at Ping. You don’t mess with cups. Encouraging people to go fishing for their golf ball – not a good idea. Bend over and get some exercise, for goodness’ sake.

The new Ping sigma putter….is nothing new.
A friend of mine designed the “Ring” putter some 40 years ago which allowed players to get the ball out of the hole without bending.

They look good, but not all players like fae inserts. And why do you always show only the bottom of the club? It’s the top that we see when putting.

I can’t agree more. This is going to be an issue as to where the cups are going to be damaged, and cause the edges to lose sharpness, prompting more lip outs. Apparently Ping wants us to miss putts…. DO NOT BUY….
