We spotted Brent Grant’s Scotty Cameron putter and he was kind enough to let us get some photos of it. Grant, like a lot of tour pros, is a fan of Scotty’s Phantom X 5 mallet shape that has been around for years now.

But Grant’s is a little different as it looks to be based more off the Futura 5W model that debuted in 2018. The older 5W features a 1-piece face and sole plate that are milled from 6061 aluminum and then bolted to 303 stainless steel body. Sound and feel are subjective, but aluminum usually offers a softer feel at impact than steel and to some can sound just slightly more muted.

The aluminum base and face are anodized black while the stainless body is finished in that popular matte silver we have seen a lot of tour putters done in. Alignment consists of a single line on the top and 2 white lines on the outside of the flange.

A traditional length L neck is welded to the top and the sole has 15g weights installed. The shaft looks to be steel that is painted black and Brent went with the Super Stroke Pistol 1.0 Zenergy in black and white.

Check out the rest of our photos from the 2023 Valero Texas Open.

Following the Pal and Pal 2, Ping today announced the release of the third of four “Ping Slam” putters, which commemorate the 1988 season in which the brand won all four men’s major championships.

The precision-milled PLD Limited Zing 2 putter commemorates Curtis Strange’s 1988 U.S. Open win — the first of his two consecutive U.S. Open wins using the putter.

“We’re really enjoying celebrating the ‘Ping Slam’ and reliving some wonderful memories from 1988,” said John A. Solheim, Ping’s Executive Chairman. “Curtis’ thrilling win at the U.S. Open was soon followed by the U.S. Women’s Open champion using a Zing 2, giving us wins at both national championships that summer. The next year Curtis won the U.S. Open again with his Zing 2. That was a remarkable run for the Zing 2 and secured its place in Ping’s putter history.”

Arriving on tour in 1984, the original Zing 2 was inspired by the Zing was cast from stainless steel. Ping cites the heel-shafted design and heel-toe weighting as key elements of the putter’s popularity.

The putters are custom-built by Ping WRX master craftsmen at the company’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. Each putter is serialized for authenticity and includes a custom headcover. Ping’s engineers and company historian scoured the archives to retain the integrity of the four classic designs during the milling process, spending time in the legendary Ping Gold Putter Vault to ensure the integrity of the designs.

Pricing, availability

Only 88 of the 100-percent milled, 303 stainless steel, natural finish putters are available via pingpld.com at 2 pm ET, Tuesday, June 13 at a price of $990.

Later this year (December 5), 35 complete sets of the PLD Limited ‘Ping Slam’ putters will go on sale for $4,990 (limit one per customer), which will include a custom-designed display unit.
