NEW! – Ping Putter Patent (Guess The Name?)
Posted January 13, 2010 by mygolfspy
Another Wack-E Design From Ping?
Ping has never been known for having the sleekest looking putters. Even when Karsten first came out with the Anser and many of his other popular putters…golfers were sometimes taken back by how strange they looked. But they worked…they helped golfers get the ball in the hole quicker and that was all that was needed to change peoples opinions about how they looked. Now the Anser is looked at as one of not only the best performing putters of all-time but also the sleekest looking. Amazing how results can change ones mind about looks.
Guess The Name Of This New Putter
Ping has had some pretty crazy names to go along with some of these crazy ideas they have for their putters. They range from the Wack-e to the Craz-e to the Zing. But this putter in my opinion is the wildest one I have ever seen from them. So maybe they will name Wild-e…who knows. So I thought you guys might like to try and guess the name they use for this putter if it makes it to the stores…never know the Ping guys who read this might just use it 
P.S. – (So…what do you think the name will be?)

My guess is Hole E or Cup E seeing as how it looks like the bottom of the cup, whatever it is, im betting it ends with an E, they must think that is they most clever thing in the world…lol…
who knows maybe theyll come out with a groundbreaking putter name like Putt R
January 13th, 2010 at 9:19 am
I kinda like the Cup-E name Matt…not bad.
January 13th, 2010 at 9:18 am
Looks just like the inside of a hole cup on a green. It should be appropriatly named the “CUPPER”
January 13th, 2010 at 10:17 am
It certainly should be named Nuk-e.

my guess is wheel-e or the wheel-ing
January 13th, 2010 at 12:43 pm
That thing looks like a hub cap…
January 13th, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Confus-E..Man, when I see that hole in my backstroke, I can feel the yips already.
January 13th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
would love to write s**t-e, but it’d probably be deleted lol
January 14th, 2010 at 7:59 am
I would leave it up there Si
January 15th, 2010 at 5:08 am
Ok then, its the shit-e lol
January 13th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
Does it come with a flag stick?
January 14th, 2010 at 8:50 am
January 13th, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Tin-Cup or Tin-Cupe
Alumunium Cupe
January 14th, 2010 at 1:14 am
Hol-e it is.
January 14th, 2010 at 7:59 am
You might be right with that guess DJ.
January 14th, 2010 at 6:08 am
Maybe it could be called the “clock”. The shape reminds me of the old mantle clocks.
January 14th, 2010 at 6:29 am
HolE-in-onE
Isn’t it the goal everytime you putt?
January 14th, 2010 at 6:42 am
The Cup
January 14th, 2010 at 6:48 am
I think they should call it The Ping UFO . It’s out of this world, so maybe it’s from another?

February 9th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
More like the U-fo
January 14th, 2010 at 6:50 am
OH well my guess is the WOW-E or HOLY-E
January 14th, 2010 at 6:52 am
Just what we need in the shop. More gimmicky, stupid looking junk pushed on us by the OEM’s. How about the OEM’s come up with something that works for a change. I don’t mind spending money on bringing products that WORK… but to spend money on worthless junk has to stop by the OEM’s. I see it from a business point of view as a waste of money. I will be going to the PGA Show and half the stuff being showed there should be put into a dumpster.. right with this abortion
January 14th, 2010 at 7:25 am
Dump-E it is.
January 14th, 2010 at 8:00 am
You think they should terminate this one and abort it huh Garry?
January 14th, 2010 at 4:21 pm
you gotta feel for people like garry that work in retail and have to carry garbage like this in their shop., and dont even think about giving a discount on a ping product no matter how bad of a seller it is because.ping will suspend your account in a new york minute. my old shop had it happen. hopefully this joke wont make it to production.
January 14th, 2010 at 7:12 am
this thing looks like some sort of novelty or gag gift you’d give the worst putter out of all your friends as a joke!! since they’ve already used UG-LE im going with SLEEP-E because whoever approved this needs to wake the fu#! up. also my question is will it even conform?
January 14th, 2010 at 7:37 am
Looks like a hot rod MAG wheel. So Its called the MAG-E
January 14th, 2010 at 7:42 am
I’d call it “The Roundup!”—Head ‘em up there Rowdy—Yeeeehaw!
January 14th, 2010 at 7:43 am
I’m going to go with Fugl-e
For crying out loud, can they make a cornier putter?!?!?!
January 14th, 2010 at 7:57 am
You know people wil be calling this the A-Hole putter.
January 14th, 2010 at 8:07 am
Ping-around the Rose-E
Ferris wheel-E
January 14th, 2010 at 8:16 am
It looks like a movie reel to me…………so I’d call it…….Reel-E
January 14th, 2010 at 8:16 am
It looks like a nuclear reactor so maybe they will call it the REACTOR. lol
January 14th, 2010 at 8:28 am
To go forward with that design would be Ball-Z.
January 14th, 2010 at 8:40 am
What about “radio-active’
January 14th, 2010 at 8:46 am
Looks like a Bio-Hazard
January 14th, 2010 at 9:25 am
The “wheeler”
January 14th, 2010 at 9:41 am
PING-ZERO OR CRAZY-O
January 14th, 2010 at 9:54 am
Visualize
January 14th, 2010 at 10:21 am
I couldn’t sleep last night, thinking about this one. Just imagine if this putter sinks putts… The answer to making putts has been in the bottom of the hole for atleast 100 years and in 2010, it was realized. The answer was right under our noses every time we bent down to pull our ball out of the cup. Dang, that just burnz…
January 14th, 2010 at 10:29 am
Well I hope you did not really lose sleep Burnz.
January 14th, 2010 at 10:29 am
How on earth would that help you putt?
Im so shocked I cant think of a name!
January 14th, 2010 at 10:38 am
I guess they assumed the visual of a mallet looking like the cup as an alignment aid would be of value.
January 14th, 2010 at 11:39 am
the Craz-e Cup
January 14th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
I think this suckers going to be called the PING Wack-O, just like the designer… I wonder if the shaft will be black and yellow and have a little flag on the grip as an alignment aid? I see this putter in Miguel Angel Jimenez’s and Lee Westwood’s future LOL! It’s going to have a massive headcover.
January 14th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
Hole in on-e
January 14th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
It’s gotta be Hol-E or Pin-E
if not, Cup holder – E
January 14th, 2010 at 2:01 pm
How about disgust- ING
January 14th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Drain-O which is what you’ll be drinking after your opponents laugh at you. It must have O in the name. We complain about all the anser models I knew PING wouldn’t let us down LOL! It looks a cross between a bio-hazard warning, a film reel and a cup. With the Odyssey Backstryke models it’s going to be a good year for crazy looking putters.
January 19th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
I actually have used and like the technology that will be used in the Odyssey Backstryke putters. Do you remember the Pool Putter?
January 19th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
mygolfspy or chris-
alright you got me ,what is this odyssey backstrike and what’s it look like. i’d thought i’d seen callaway’s 2010 line which included the black tour series and stupid white ice putters. we’d love pictures if you got them!
January 20th, 2010 at 7:47 am
They have a few models of the BackStryke’s but they have all have the same theory of the shaft coming in to the back of the head. The best analogy I can give is similar to shooting pool. When you shoot pool you are behind the ball and can see the whole landscape better and also visualize your shot better then if you had your head directly above the cue ball and tried making shots. There was a PoolPutter that came out about 10 years ago that had this concept which was designed by a guy in Sweden just never made it mainstream but I putted great with it.
I will try to get some pics for you guys.
January 15th, 2010 at 5:35 am
IT ACTUALLY IS A GRAET VISUAL AID TO SEEING THE BALL GO IN THE HOLE, HOW ABOUT THE HOL-E ( WITH 2 CUPS YOU ONLY NEED ONE PUTT!)
January 15th, 2010 at 8:35 am
How about we’ve exhausted all good Ideas and this is all we’ve got! A Stupid Putter.
January 15th, 2010 at 1:43 pm
U.S.G.A. RULES- APPENDIX ll #4a/PLAIN IN SHAPE= THE CLUBHEAD AND/OR IT’S PARTS CAN NOT BE MADE TO RESEMBLE ANOTHER OBJECT. does this design look like anything to you! i still dont know how callaway/odyssey got the 2/3 ball putter approved and im not going to speculate but how can this thing be even close to conforming. it’s damn near a training aid!!!
January 24th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
I think it will be called Johnny One Putt
February 8th, 2010 at 8:40 am
[...] NEW! – Ping Putter Patent (Guess The Name?) – New! TaylorMade Driver Patent Issued addthis_url = [...]
February 9th, 2010 at 6:28 am
The only thing that comes to mind us “Ug-le” ! I also have my doubts the thing would be easy to align. The “blade” of the putter seems to disappear into the circle. I, for one anyway, would feel like I was trying to put with a baseball bat.
February 9th, 2010 at 11:01 am
The wheel house as in rght in my wheel house.
February 10th, 2010 at 12:18 pm
There was the CushIn, now there’s the Cup-In
February 12th, 2010 at 11:45 am
It’s got to be called “THE GROUND HOG”
February 12th, 2010 at 11:39 pm
it looks like an old movie reel to me, maybe we should call it the move-E or the reel-E??
