When PING set out to develop a second line of putters, their focus was on making golf clubs with pure, machined faces for a firmer, more responsive feel and added consistency. They wanted to make something to complement the Sigma 2 putters and their dual-durometer insert. The result: the PING Heppler putters with solid milled faces for firm feel and feedback.
PING’s Heppler family of putters includes 9 models. There is a look and performance to fit every golfer’s eye and stroke type. Heppler putter options include 2 blades, 2 mid-mallets, and 5 mallets.

PING Heppler Putters Review
Technology
The story of the PING Heppler putters begins with the solid, machined face. Using a solid steel face gives these golf clubs a firmer feel at impact with pleasing sound and responsive feedback. Machine-milling the faces on these putters also provides a level of consistency that makes every club to PING’s precise specifications. In addition to milled steel, the mallets and mid-mallets are multi-material putters with cast aluminum in the heads that offer more forgiveness and optimal center of gravity locations for accuracy and consistency.
PING gave the Heppler putters a contrasting copper and black finish for a color scheme that provides visual alignment cues and looks great with no glare at address. With such a large variety of models to choose from, no matter if you prefer a blade with minimal alignment aids or a larger mallet that frames the ball and makes alignment easier, there is a shape for golfers of all types.
These putters include the same adjustable-length shaft technology PING first introduced in the Sigma 2 line. With the Heppler putters, the adjustable mechanism is located inside the grip and can be adjusted with any torque wrench. Each full turn of the mechanism adjusts the putter length by approximately a quarter of an inch. Every putter can be adjusted down to 32” or up to 36”.
Who It’s For
PING Heppler putters are made for golfers who prefer a firmer feel and sound at impact. So much of putting comes down to what each individual player is comfortable with and prefers when they putt the golf ball. For those who prefer a firm, solid feel and feedback, the milled construction of the Heppler putter line is a great fit for them.
Performance
The solid face on the PING Heppler putters lead to noticeable performance with the response and firm feel. The ball rolled true off the face with great response. Our product expert found that firm feel and response made it easy to control distance which is crucial to better putting performances.
Appearance
With 9 different models, the PING Heppler putters offer a variety of looks at address but the entire line does share some similarities. The contrasting copper and black colors offer a sleek look in the bag and reduce glare to help you focus on those important putts. With personal preference playing such a large role in the look of a putter, PING provided options for all types of golfers. There are traditional blades, mid-mallets, and larger mallets. There are options for no alignment lines, single alignment lines, multiple alignments lines, and larger putter shapes that help from the ball.
Feel & Sound
The sound and feel of the PING Heppler putters are much more firm and “clickier” when you contact the golf ball. With the solid milled face, you get a firmer feel and with great responsiveness. Golfers who like to feel their putts and enjoy the firm contact of a milled face will enjoy the sound and feel of the Heppler putters.
