It’s a good one Tom Watson used it to win many tournaments.

I had a crazy idea once. Buy an old ping putter of that era. Have the face milled for feel, scotty cameron weight ports cut out to add weight. To modernize an old classic to new ways. But with the eventual patina. A tribute of how the old became new.

Oh god , my dad was still using that putter in the 80s. Worked great!

I’m a huge fan of yours and your posts are brilliant. I’ve only been playing for less than 3 years and have become quite the golf junkie. In any event I have both a Pal and any blade. As nice as the pal is, my Y blade swings and looks better at address. The Anser 4 is my go to. They are all great

I think I putt better with a heavy mallet putter at long distance, and a blade putter in more close. I putted with an Answer ll in the early 1980's on fast greens and it worked pretty good but my brother told me it was too light. There were old dark ping putters laying around at my parents house after they passed on. I wish I could have kept all of them. One, I can't remember the model, I cut around two inches of the shaft and installed an oversize golf pride pistol grip. Then, I put lead tape in two places: heel and toe. I wish I would've kept it but I got a 50 dollar credit when I traded it in on an Epic three wood, which I thought I needed. Right now I am playing all vintage clubs. I would love to collect and mess around with all these old Ping putters.

Thank you for this very informative review. I have a Ping Pal of this same vintage as well an original (1967?) Ping O Blade both in maganese bronze and a Ping Anser II in steel. I use all 3 of them for golf and have Ping PP58 grips on them. All 3 work very nicely but I use the Anser II most of the time. The O Blade seems much like the Zing.

I had the Ping Pal 4. Great putter. I liked the longer blade.

I found this putter in the trash at work, the alignment line looks like it’s DIY in person.

Is it considered a cardinal sin for me to change the grip of my ping pal? Right now it has the classic ping grip but I love the thick grips for putting. I just don’t want to ruin a classic putter

Nice patina as they are meant to be. Within my collection, I have a Ping with the original sales labels still attached. These explain that the putter is "tarnished" from new and will dull evenly over time as an "anti glare" feature. They are not supposed to be polished!! Also, Manganese Bronze is a high grade carcinogen, only marginally less toxic than berillium copper which is another very good reason not to be disturbing it by polishing. Great putters!

I own many sets of irons. I believe most people would call them vintage. Which do you think are better, more forgiving irons. Tommy Armour 845 Silver Scott’s or Ping Eye2?

I really like the look of the pal 2 and pal from the back. But, from address, it looks too narrow for my liking for some reason.

I still play my PAL. 2 BECU. Very simple. You can call it a Zanser. I do not like the PAL4 or 6 to play with.
