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.

GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore was at Riviera Country Club this last week in Los Angeles for the U.S. Women’s Open. While browsing the photos, I spotted a recent major trend in headcovers. That is, the Titleist GTS headcover line expands the majors theme.
Seen on the bag of Natalia Guseva were the red, white, and blue Titleist GTS covers. This is the third time we have seen limited-edition Titleist major covers, the others being at the Masters and the PGA Championship. But with the launch of the GTS line back at the Texas Children’s Houston Open in March, this is the first time we have seen Titleist come out with major themed head covers for the season (driver headcovers through hybrids).
Check out some photos below.
At the Masters, we saw the familiar Masters green, white, and yellow. While the PGA Championship design was colors synonymous with the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team. This shows the season major drops continue full steam ahead for major OEMs. New opportunities for each major for designs and themes, and who knows, maybe a lucky spark for a player and a major championship for their resume. It gets the wheels turning for what major theme headcover you would keep on your bag for the whole season!

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.

I can pick up my own ball though 🙂

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

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

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.

Two more…
I hate the teal.
70º upright is a change from their prior 69º standard.
James
Oct 15, 2018 at 4:38 pm
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.

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.

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

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°.

Saddly this line will be all forgotten next year and Ping will try to come up with something new. Too many models, too many gimmicks

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.

Stop trying to make fetch happen. It’s not gonna happen
NormW

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.
Cooper Wright

The Fetch will increase the demise of every clean cut hole out there.

Who’s going to hunt down those players who are surreptitiously changing the length of their putter during the round? Better keep and eye on the caddy too!
Ban them!

Jose Pinatas

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….
George
