grooves, which produce consistent results across the face. A 17-4 stainless steel sole weight creates a high Moment of Inertia (MOI) and makes the aluminium, mallet-style head highly forgiving. “What really stands out about the


P


Ketsch is the captured look it provides at address, inspiring confidence and promoting a consistent stroke, the key to holing more putts,” said John A. Solheim, PING chairman and CEO. “It has three white, contrasting alignment aids extending from the top of the matte-black crown. The centre line runs all the way to the back to make aiming easy. “Our research shows that the head


shape promotes extremely consistent alignment for the majority of golfers.


ING has introduced the Ketsch putter, their newest model to benefit from variable-depth


Those factors, combined with our revolutionary variable-depth grooves and a high MOI, will help golfers putt more consistently.” Variable-depth grooves milled into


the face ensure ball-speed consistency whether the ball is struck in the centre of the face, toward the heel or toe, high or low. Grooves are deepest in the centre and shallower toward the perimeter, which PING calls True Roll (TR) Technology. PING studies show an increase in ball-speed consistency of nearly 50% compared to a non-grooved face when measured at nine points across the face. Golfers can choose a fixed-length shaſt (35 inches is standard), or they can upgrade to an adjustable-length version they can modify between 31 and 38 inches prior to a round.

tests at PING show that golfers are more consistent with a putter balanced to fit their stroke type. The midsize PP58 black rubber grip is designed with a familiar shape, but its larger size quiets the wrists for improved confidence and stroke repeatability.


A jolt to the rangefinder market?


B


ushnell Outdoor Products has introduced its


smallest, most technically advanced golf laser rangefinder – the Tour Z6 Jolt. “At Bushnell, we


continue to pride ourselves on offering advanced technologies to enhance our already industry-leading range finding products,” said Scott Peterson, product manager at Bushnell. “It is so important for golfers to get fast, precise yardages, and the Tour Z6 Jolt delivers this critical information to the golfer faster and more accurately than any other laser rangefinder.” When the golfer aims the Tour Z6 Jolt at the flag, Jolt


Technology will provide short vibrating bursts to reinforce that Bushnell’s PinSeeker technology has isolated the target and locked onto the flag. Also new to the Tour Z6 JOLT is second generation


E.S.P (Extreme. Speed. Precision) Technology. Second Generation E.S.P. provides yardages five times faster and more accurately than ever before. Not only has the acquisition speed been increased to a faster level, Second Generation E.S.P. provides half a yard accuracy from 5-125 yards, and the distance is displayed to 1/10th of a yard. Having more accurate laser distances enables the golfer to strategise and hit every approach shot with confidence. The Tour Z6 Jolt will be available in March with a retail


price of £349. @JWhitaker_Golf
