The Ping Scottsdale DS72 is a tour-inspired mid-mallet putter engineered for golfers who prefer a straight-back, straight-through stroke. Built around a one-piece PEBAX face insert — a lightweight, high-energy-return polymer borrowed from athletic-shoe technology — the DS72 delivers a significant jump in MOI compared to milled alternatives, without sacrificing the soft feel and pleasing impact sound that serious putting demands. Its ball-width cavity and contrasting visual cues make alignment intuitive, while the 17-4 stainless steel construction and Chrome Stepless steel shaft provide the durability and consistency tour players expect. Comes complete with a matching headcover.
Key Features
Tour-Inspired Mid-Mallet Shape: Square profile with a face-balanced design optimised for straight-back, straight-through strokes.
One-Piece PEBAX Face Insert: Ball-width lightweight insert frees up discretionary weight to significantly increase MOI across the head.
Higher MOI for Greater Forgiveness: MOI is up to 11% higher than comparably shaped milled putters, reducing face twist on off-centre hits.
Consistent Ball Speeds: The resilient PEBAX insert performs uniformly across the entire face for precise distance control on every putt.
Ball-Width Cavity Alignment Aid: The cavity width matches the face insert width, making it easier to set up square to your intended line.
Perpendicular Visual Cues: Back cavity features perpendicular lines and a contrasting alignment line that create visual balance and support a true straight stroke.
Subtle Colour Blocking: Contrasting tones between the top rail and back section draw focus to the front of the putter for improved address alignment.
Chrome Stepless Steel Shaft: Clean, stepless profile provides a consistent feel from grip to head with a full-shaft offset hosel (DB).
PING SuperStroke Tour 2.0 PT Blue Grip: Premium SuperStroke pistol-style grip included as standard, promoting a stable, tension-free grip through impact.
Available in Right- and Left-Hand: Offered in right-hand and left-hand configurations in lengths of 33", 34", and 35".
Technology in Detail
One-Piece PEBAX Face Insert
PEBAX is a high-performance elastomer polymer widely used in the soles of athletic shoes for its exceptional energy-return and lightweight characteristics. In the DS72, PING engineers fashioned this material into a single, one-piece face insert that spans the full ball-width of the clubface. Because PEBAX is approximately 20% lighter than comparable insert materials, it frees up meaningful discretionary weight that PING's designers can strategically redistribute toward the perimeter of the head. The result is a substantial jump in MOI — as much as 11% higher than a similarly shaped PLD Milled putter — without any compromise to the putter's overall balance or aesthetics. Every putt benefits from the insert's uniform energy return, delivering consistent ball speeds whether contact is struck in the centre or slightly off-centre.
High MOI for Forgiveness and Stability
Moment of Inertia (MOI) is the key metric for putter forgiveness: a higher MOI resists face rotation on off-centre contact, preserving both direction and ball speed. The Scottsdale DS72 achieves its elevated MOI through two complementary mechanisms — the lightweight PEBAX insert frees up mass that is then relocated to the heel, toe and back of the head, and the ball-width cavity creates a large internal pocket that enables even more aggressive perimeter weighting. The face-balanced design further supports a straight stroke by naturally returning the face to square through the impact zone. For golfers who miss the sweet spot, the DS72 maintains accuracy and distance control far more reliably than a traditional single-piece milled mid-mallet.
Ball-Width Cavity and Alignment System
The DS72's ball-width face insert is precision-matched to a ball-width cavity cut into the rear of the head, creating an unmistakable visual reference at address that naturally frames the golf ball and draws the eye to the centre of the putter. This deliberate design decision makes it significantly easier to aim correctly, even under pressure on the course. Perpendicular visual cues within the back cavity reinforce a sense of geometric order and squareness, while a contrasting alignment line runs from back to front to confirm the putter is aimed at the target. Subtle colour blocking between the top rail and the back portion of the head further channels attention to the leading edge of the face — where it matters most at address.
Soft Feel, Pleasing Sound, and Consistent Roll
While forgiveness and alignment are measurable engineering gains, PING's designers understood that feel and sound are equally important to a golfer's confidence on the greens. The PEBAX insert produces a noticeably softer impact sensation compared to a traditional milled stainless steel face, without the overly muted deadness sometimes associated with polymer inserts. The impact sound is described as a clean, satisfying click — firm enough to confirm solid contact, soft enough to feel controlled. Optimally positioned centre-of-gravity locations reduce the initial skid phase of the putt and promote earlier forward roll for truer, more predictable ball tracking. The combination of feel, sound and consistent ball speeds gives golfers the feedback they need to calibrate distance control on long lag putts and short pressure putts alike.
Chrome Stepless Steel Shaft and SuperStroke Grip
The DS72 is fitted as standard with PING's Chrome Stepless steel putter shaft — a clean, smooth profile that eliminates the steps found on conventional parallel-tip shafts, providing a uniform, refined look down the shaft and a consistent feel transmission from grip to head. The full-shaft DB hosel positions the hands directly over the ball at address, a geometry that promotes a more pendulum-like stroke and enhances consistency. As standard equipment, each DS72 ships with the PING SuperStroke Tour 2.0 PT Blue grip — a premium pistol-profile grip engineered by SuperStroke to encourage a lighter, more relaxed grip pressure and improved stroke stability throughout the putting motion.
