The new Ping Sigma G putters have been unveiled, offering new softer feeling faces and 16 models to suit different swing and look preferences.

New technology is headlined by a multi-piece face that was inspired by the soles of athletic shoes. The Pebax elastomer, a material commonly used in soles for its elasticity properties, is a lightweight, high-energy return compound that delivers a uniquely soft yet responsive feel.

This material is combined witha  True Roll Face Technology pattern that is precision milled from aerospace-grade aluminium. It varies in depth and covers the entire face to ensure putts roll at consistent speeds, wherever they are struck on the face, for better distance control.

It's not just an improved feel on offer, with stability also boosted as a result of larger face insert cavities that allow weight savings to be re-distributed towards the perimeter to reduce twisting.

The range features 16 head options, each finished in either Platinum or Black Nickel, with a contrasting face to aid accurate alignment.

Completing the range are two grip options, with a Pistol tapered grip and an oversize, more rounded grip.

Talking about the new Ping Sigma G putters John Solheim, Ping Chairman & CEO, told GM: “The combination of the high-grade elastomer and fully machined aerospace-grade aluminium over the entire face delivers an amazing feel and sound.
