PING G5i Craz-E Putter Review

The new released PING G5i Craz-E Putter has a lot of improvements including a dual durometer clubface and entirely new alignment design, making G5i Putter outstanding. The new insert design features the installation of soft-perimeter polymer for the sole and high-durometer polymer for the center hitting spot to create better hand feel and sound. The insert cavity is precision machined to ensure the head’s consistency. Inertia increases average 10% across the new line and is attributed to re-distribution of weight resulting from the addition of thru holes and sole cavities. Alignment is improved in the G5i series putters with a ball-width, crescent-shaped top rail—a feature first introduced on the popular PING Craz-E Series. The new series also applies a new Optigraphic Alignment System in the back of each model to further assist in alignment. A new, dual textured blue Winn grip is standard on each model.

Our testers say: The PING G5i Craz-E Putter is of no different. It still has the flat, square shaped mallet with a semi circular tail. There are several differences between the G2i and G5i version, the most substantial of which is the dual durometer insert. The outer layer is the same insert as in the G2i putter with a firmer insert in the center. This insert is designed to provide the soft feel of the original putter but also to provide some audible feedback to the player. It follows along the lines of the White Steel putter from Odyssey. Ping has also updated the grip, going with a dual textured Winn grip that has just the right level of tackiness and softness to feel comfortable in your hands. The alignment aid is slightly enhanced as well, with the crescent shaped top rail and dual colored top insert make it easy to square the face to the target. Ping has also sent out a fitting putter to all of their licensed accounts, it is the first self fitting putter system in the industry, you can determine the perfect length and lie angle for your putter.

About Ping G15 Irons

The technology of the G15 Irons provides the high-launching, maximum forgiveness benefits that the majority of golfers rely on to bring consistency to their iron play. The stainless steel iron’s cavity design features a new Custom Tuning Port (CTP) which expands the perimeter weighting and increases the moment of inertia. Weight savings from a thinner face is re-positioned to the toe for added forgiveness on mis-hits and its wider sole produces a higher launch angle. Stronger lofts combine with a center of gravity located low and farther from the face to produce longer shots without sacrificing the higher trajectory required in a maximum forgiveness iron.
