Ping launches Sigma G putters… and there’s something for everyone
Ping has launched a new line of putters called Sigma G, which features 15 new models. It’s described as a game-enjoyment line by the company, and uses a “summation of knowledge” from the company’s history; thus “Sigma,” meaning summation in mathematics terms.
“The Sigma G putters represent an exciting new technology that continues our long-standing commitment to engineering putters that feel and look great but perform even better,” said John A. Solheim, Ping Chairman and CEO. “The combination of the high-grade elastomer and fully machined aerospace-grade aluminum over the entire face delivers an amazing feel and sound. And with improved ball-speed consistency and forgiveness, golfers will make more putts than ever. We’re also introducing several new designs that offer a variety of looks to fit every golfer’s stroke and eye.”
This is the third putter family in the company’s past to use G in its name, following Ping’s G2 and G5 lines. Specifically, the Sigma G line replaces Ping’s Cadence line of putters, which had a variety of head weights to meet the needs of a wide range of golfers.
The Sigma G putters offer both heavy and light headweight options, and just about any head shape a golfer could want. The extensive options will make fitting easier, Ping says, allowing more golfers to find a putter for their stroke. Eight brand-new putter models are also a part of the Sigma G line, as well as seven other models that will be familiar, but are slightly adjusted.
Ping’s PP60 putter grip, which comes stock on all Sigma G putters. Also available is a larger PP-62 grip, which has a shape that’s more round.
Throughout the line, you’ll notice two different finishes: platinum and a black nickel. The bodies of the putters are precision cast from 17-4 stainless steel and have an anodized aluminum face inserts. Putters with dark finishes have light faces, while the putters with light finishes have dark faces. The putter faces have the company’s True Roll grooves that were made to produce a slightly louder sound at impact than previous iterations without losing performance and feel.
The Sigma G putters are currently available for pre-order. Blade-style putters will sell for $195, mallet-style putters will sell for $215 and counter-balanced models will sell for $235. Adjustable-length shafts are available for an upcharge of $35.
Tess
The Tess is what you’d consider a traditional blade with no sightline. It’s made for golfers with a strong arc and release.
B60
The Sigma G B60 takes the B60, one of Ping’s “most famous and top-selling putters,” and adds a modern look with a “sweeping back chamfer.” It still has the classic, heart-shaped back cavity, however, a design that Ping stresses makes it easier to scoop your ball from the surface.
Anser
A head shape that needs no introduction has a slightly larger footprint than previous iterations. It’s said to have a higher MOI (moment of inertia), which means more forgiveness for the game-improvement player.
D66
Inspired by D66, Voss and ZBS models from the company’s past, the new Sigma G D66 has a back cavity that’s the width of a golf ball and is designed for golfers who focus on the center cavity and sightline.
Kinloch
This new blade-style model mixes designs from the Anser with a styled ballast, center cavity and back surface geometry, according to Ping, which “converge toward the target” for better alignment.
Piper 3
Based on Tour feedback, Ping’s Sigma G Piper putter has a remodeled mid-slant hosel and half-shaft offset.
Kushin
The Sigma G Kushin is inspired by Ping’s original Kushin putter. It’s a blade-style putter that has a double-bend shaft and half-shaft offset.
Shea H
The Shea H takes a classic, mid-mallet Ping design and adds a top-rail notch alignment, a more defined cavity and a smoother hosel transition.
Kinloch C
The Kinloch C, which stands for “center shafted,” is what Ping calls a “bold, simple and strong new mallet.”
Kinloch CB
Ping also offers the Kinloch-style putter in a 400-gram, counter-balanced design for those who need added stability.
Ketsch B
This new model from Ping features three sight lines, the outer two of which frame the outside edges of the golf ball. The Ketsch B is somewhat of a hybrid between a blade putter and a mallet.
Darby
As a smaller mallet, the Darby has a bordered sightline that’s framed by “micro-lines” and clean heel and toe surfaces to better frame the golf ball.
Tyne
This new model is designed for greater forgiveness. It has a tall face with heel and toe wings that drive up MOI (moment of inertia, a measure of forgiveness).
Wolverine T
The Wolverine T putter uses a T-alignment system that has a sightline surrounded by micro-lines for better aim.
Doon
The Doon is a counter-balanced putter that’s made to be long front-to-back for more stability. It has a long sightline that offers a different look.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

Tyne or kushin? anyone have feedback? I was thinking the tyne for MOI boost, but i have a scotty squareback that i love the headshape of so the kushin would be an easier switch.

Hit the Kushin and it was great. The insert is the evolution of the TR design.
I’m ordering one.

Not sure about the look of the insert (it doesn’t really go with a $200 putter), but it’s fantastic to see the Tess back in the line-up.
