   Ketsch CB owner

   Aug 19, 2014 at 8:53 pm

   I just received my custom ordered CB Ketsch putter. If Ping is willing to give us $30 because the grooves are deeper then they had intended, does that mean the putter will lack in performance when compared to the yet to be released Ketsch 2?
   I would like to believe if there is a performance issue with the grooves, Ping would honor all those who purchased the Ketsch, with the Ketsch 2.
   Can any Ping representatives touch on this??

     The ketsch is still the best putter out there, even with the grooves. The new one will probably just be more forgivable.

   I’m so confused. I bought one 6 weeks ago. Are the grooves non-conforming ? Do they give an added advantage ? Disadvantage ? I make tons of putts with mine.

     The grooves are 100% conforming.

   In a related story, “Deep Groove OG Ketcsh” putters are now selling on BST for Cameron 009 money.

   I own a Ketsch and its grooves are very deep. While this doesn’t impact USGA conformity, what super deep grooves do is negate any supposed effect of Ping’s touted variable-depth-grooved True Roll technology. Meaning, if all your grooves are too deep everywhere, you will see no distance variance dampening with off-center hits that should be striking shallower grooves.

   This may or may not be true, but I couldn’t care less about a Ketsch 2 or a $30 rebate. When I tested my Ketsch I thought its sharp ridges and deep grooves really made a urethane ball grab the turf with traction and I found my putts coming up short a lot. But they also didn’t skid out of control on slippery downhill putts. So adjusted, I hit uphill putts more firmly and I’m happy. Whatever they did, it works.

    Wish I knew how long it would be before you could order a new one.
