Ping adjustable putters

[HomerJSimpson]

Finally found the Ketsch putter to try but they only had the adjustable model and I'm looking for the standard, 34 inch. Shame they didn't have one as it's a delight. Balanced, great feel and confident inspiring. I just need to hunt a bit further for what I want. I don't like the adjustable shaft. It doesn't look right to my eye.

From what I saw at The Grove you weren't doing too badly with your existing putter. Are you sure you need a new one?

My head says no but my stroke says it could be time to change. I might wait until the Ketsch is more widely available later in the year and think again and see if I can get the non-adjustable version

It's ironic, Ping won't let you buy online as they want to ensure that your clubs are the right length, lie and grip size to suit you yet they sell an adjustable length putter instead of one that is the right length

On another note one of my friends has one of the adjustable putters and it's transformed his game. He loves it and has no problems however I can't get over the metal bobble at the bottom of the grip and think it spoils what would be an otherwise very good design

This is what puts me off buying the adjustable one. It just gets in the eyeline and I don't like looking at it. With putting being a confidence thing as much as anything this is a problem and why I want the non adjustable which seems like hens teeth at the moment

Same as you mate. Last week my putter started to click on back swing. Took it back to American Golf and was told as you were that they would send back to Ping. its been a week since and waiting for the call. I will keep you updated.

Hi Paul
Just to let u know I did get my issue sorted with a new putter but it took over a month,I hope it doesn't take as long to resolve ur issue.

If it's adjustable within a range of lengths (31-39"), it has to be right somewhere in that range! As with other Ping putters, it's available in a choice of lies. +/- 4 degrees. Mine is set to 32,5" length btw.

I'm fairly certain the Ketsch is only available in adjustable or 35" fixed length in traditional. Then you have counterbalanced too.

Might be waiting a long time to find a 34" fixed length unless willing to take a hacksaw to one.

Defintely suppose to be available in 34 inches. http://www.scottsdalegolf.co.uk/product.php/6315/ping-golf-ketsch-putter

I can't say I have expert knowledge on this, but I wonder if the Scottsdale listing is a mistake Homer. Although the dropdown menu on Scottsdales website offers 34 inches, the description only mentions 35 inches and Pings own website only mentions 35 (Conventional) and 38 (counterbalanced).

plus of course the adjustable versions.
