Ping Nome TR putter spotted on tour

Published

Ping’s new line of Scottsdale TR, or “True Roll” putters feature variable depth grooves in the face that are deeper in the center and more shallow in the heel and toe to help golfers hit their putts with consistent speed, even when they miss the sweet spot.

While varying the depth of the grooves doesn’t sound like a big deal, the technology has been a hit with players on tour like Lee Westwood and Angel Cabrera, who have made the switch to TR putters this year.

Ping currently has six models available in the TR line, but will add another model, its Nome putter, to the lineup in the near future.

The original Nome was used last year by Hunter Mahan to win the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. It’s silver with a black-and-white alignment system, and is milled from aluminum. The mallet-style putter has 82 grams of weight in the sole to increase the putter’s moment of inertia, and is available in three different shaft bends to accomodate different stroke types.

The new Nome TR (Left) and the original Nome (Right).

The new version is black with a white-and-black alignment system, and unlike the rest of the TR putters it doesn’t feature a TR insert — it’s TR grooves are milled across the entirety of the face.

The Nome TR has a headweight of 350 grams, will be available in three different shaft bends, Ping’s “Straight,” “Slight Arc” and “Strong Arc” configurations, It’s scheduled to hit shelves in mid May, and carries an MSRP of $305 ($340 with an adjustable length shaft).

I currently play a Scottsdale Wolverine C. I’m interested in the Nome TR as I think it has a higher MOI. I have not used it on a real putting green, only indoors. This is a “very pricy” putter from Ping. My thinking is Ping will move this groove technology into their entire line in the future. I ant to try the different shaft styles before I make a purchase.

  How many balls do you hit with your driver for $300, how many putts do you hit?

    Yes, but the fact remains that it’s the least engineered club in the bag…

Must try out! Love the new insert and love the look of the nome but didn’t like the feel of the previous model and don’t like the look of the putters with the new insert. Should be a great putter!

MOI . moment of inertia . 🙂 .
i like the putter but what do they mean 3 different shaft bend options. I’ve never seen ay different variations .( slight arc, strong arc or straight swing path ).
also is the black a paint or that finish style odyssey uses a lot . I don’t like it when the paint wears off the soul.
thanks for the write up .
