Ping B60 Putter Golf Club

I HAVE USED MANY PING PUTTERS AS WELL AS OTHERS. THIS B60 HAS A NICE TOUCH. THIS ONE WAS MY FATHERS WHO WAS A PGA PRO AND I USED IT AFTER I INHERITED IT.

Ping makes great clubs, and their over-engineering put them ahead of the curve years ago. Clubs that are now 15, 20 years old are still viable by today's standards, especially for the weekend duffer, and in the used market they can be a great deal. I've used a Ping Anser 5 putter since the early 1990's and have always loved it. Recently I wanted to upgrade my wife's putter and was able to find a B60 putter with a reasonable Buy It Now. Ping putters are cast, not forged. This makes them feel slightly different than milled putters, but it also makes them more affordable. After a while the feel of these putters will just grow on you, and you'll quickly find other putters don't have the same touch. A new putter that might retail for over $100 at the local retail golf shop or pro shop might go in the $40 - $60 range used on eBay. Shop around - it is easy to overpay simply due to the wide variety and convenience. Look around and you'll find a good deal if you're patient. The real value of Ping putters, in my opinion, is the six degree face loft. Slightly more than other putters, this gets the ball rolling forward faster while putting. It also allows your putter to act as a utility club when just off the green in the first apron cut, and even in the second cut of grass around the green. A sweeping stroke through the ball (not the normal pendulum back-and-forth stroke) will pop the ball over the longer grass and get it rolling to the hole. This seems to work especially well with Ping putters, and I've never had much luck with this technique using other brands. When shopping around keep in mind that worn putter grips shouldn't be a big concern - a regrip can be easily done at home by you. You'll just need two-sided tape, Naptha, a fresh grip, a bench vise, and some sort of vise insert (I find that an old pair of flip-flops works well). There are plenty of regripping videos on YouTube, so you shouldn't feel intimidated. All in all you can find great deals on a used Ping B60, Anser, or other classic Ping model. Good luck and have fun!

The putter has a very soft feel and the ball rolls very smooth off the face. Weighted well and swings easy in your hands. This putter is has really helped improve my game on the green. If you are used to other styles of putters you will find the transition relatively easy.

This club arrived in good shape. Packaged well and came with everything as advertised. Did some research on ping putters and thought to give this one a try. Has a solid feel and look that most of the classic designs that Karsten came up with many years ago. Thank you.

I have not purchased one from E-Bay. I have bid on several but did not win. If you have billed me for a purchase you need to advise so it can be corrected

Delivered as promised. The putter is everything I expected. I would certainly recommend this vendor.

As a scientist, I owned many Ping B60 putters in the various configurations that Ping has manufactured over the decades. I would guess that over the past 45 years I have putted with the B60 style 75% of the time. Here are some comments about the various models:

The standard B60 is a stainless steel model with a plumber's hosel. It soles correctly, has a clear view of the topline, and offers a long sightline on the flange. It produces a solid feel, and has good performance on on-center strikes. All of the models can be adjusted for lie and loft, so I won't mention this again.

The manganese bronze B60 with the plumber's hosel has the same performance characteristics as the stainless, but the strike of the ball sounds (which relates to feel) a little livelier. I feel like some putts "get away from me" when I use the MnBronze.

The beryllium nickel B60 has the softest, most solid sound, and is my particular favorite. It comes in the standard plumber's hosel, which is about 20-degrees toe hang down, or in a face-balanced model where the Z-bend shaft goes directly into the clubhead. The topline and flange are a little thicker on this model because metal that was in the hosel is now placed more optimally in the clubhead. These clubs are not cheap if you can find them, but they work and they retain their resale value.

The beryllium copper B60 is an intermediate sounding/feeling design. BeCu is softer than BeNi, and so it dings more easily. Unless you want the status associated with playing with copper clubs, then there are probably better B60's for you to choose.

The IsoPur and IsoPur2 B60's have the clear thermoplastic insert with the word PING embedded inside. The topline is a little thicker on these models to hold the insert, and is quite pleasing. The IsoPur2 has additional tungsten weights in the heel and toe. These models appear to be a little longer, and maybe a little wider, than their all metal cousins. The thermoplastic inserts are quite lively. The B60 IsoPur2 is my second favorite design, mainly because it does putt the ball farther when I get into one of my tentative phases.

The IsoForce models come with plumber's hosels in steel with copper pixels, and manganese bronze with aluminum pixels. While the pixel technology that Ping licensed from Pixl (who made excellent clubs for awhile) certainly works, I have not noticed me actually holing more putts using these models. If I had to guess, then a bronze putter with the lighter weight aluminum pixels probably has a higher MOI than a steel/copper model.

The newer models Ping has recently introduced is the Karsten B60, which is a fine budget model. No frills, just functional stainless steel with all the center of gravity, moment of inertia, vibration dampener, and alignment aids that Ping has been able to pack into their least expensive model. The putter is rather compact, it also is a little heavier, which is the way putters are being manufactured today. Ping's 50th Anniversary Model is a manganese bronze model like the Karsten. Both are great. Either of these would be my 4th favorite model.

The iWi is the new model with the stainless insert with a polymer vibration embedded between the insert and the body of the clubhead. It has removable/changable 12-, 20-, or 28-gram weights that go into the heel and toe. An uncluttered, classic look, compact head, but has a flatter sole than other B60's. My 3rd favorite because of weighting option.

Very nice putter. I'm pleased with my purchase and it went immediatley into my golf bag. eBay gives me the opportunity of trying different clubs that may or may not work for me, without paying full retail.

the club was just what i was looking for and it was all good it was the wright lenth and it came in a very good box

I used a B60 putter for years and lost it while visiting a local golf course.
I hit an approach shot so close to the pin that my playing partner gave me the
putt and I unfortunately left my putter standing against a nearby tree. It was
not until the next green that I realized I had left my putter behind. I went
back for the putter but it was gone. I have tried several brands and styles of
putters for five years and my putting statistics suffered. I located the same
putter on eBay and won the bid. It may be psyche, but I have recovered my stroke and the ball is rolling smooth. I have cut five strokes from my handicap in just six weeks. Needless to say; I love my B60.

Replacing the same club that I have worn out, and this one is in great shape. This is a Ping putter style that I have used for over 20 years and I'm just to stubborn to try to change models again. I have done that in the past and always come back to my old faithful. It doesn't help the rest of my game but it makes me comfortable on the greens.

This is a excellent putter, I started using it [to play] after about 10 putts.It is so much better than my old putter with the insert. Would recommend this putter to anyone who likes the feel of metal against the ball.

I love my new putter it was delivered very fast and everything is great I am very happy and pleased with the seller and my items recieved.

Liked the way the club was portrayed on ebay and made it easy to bid as this was a club I needed. The picture was very clear and came in very good condition.

I can putt really well with this classic ping b60. I decided to buy this putter because 15 years ago I lost my first one, so now I have it back.

First, It's a 37" putter. I'm tall and love the fact that I don't have to hunch over as much.
Second, and the best part is, it's a Ping. Quality all the way. It has a soft grip which I like and the putter has a good "feel" when I'm taking it back and forward.
I'm very lucky to have this putter and plan on having it the rest of my life!

The Ping b-60 becu copper putter is simply the best putter ever made. I've used several Ping and Scotty Cameron putters and I think I've finally settled on the B60. The feel is terrific. Weight is good. Looks are terrific which inspires confidence. You have to use a cover due to the soft copper head dings easily. If you don't want to spend the xtra $$ to get the copper putter there are several older b60 models in steel that you can get for nothing so you can try it out before spending $100+ on a flatstick.
