Purchase: Paid $90 at the local pro shop. I was so frustrated with my putting game I could resist going out and getting a new putter - thinking it might make a difference - but probably knowing better.
Pros: It's all about feel my friend. This putter just feels right in your hands and when you line that shot up, there's a balanced feel to it that makes a pendulum stroke as easy as can be. Just need to be relaxed and let the Ally do the trick.
Cons: I have the stainless model, a 34" length with the standard lie angle. I should have tried the other lie angles because I think I may have been better off with the 2.0 upright lie model. Not complaining, though, just making a point. when you find a model you like, try all the fits before selecting. I've shaved a few strokes off here and there, but should have taken my time in choosing.
Ally Series Putter Quality: Ping construction is top notch. The putter has that non-glare finish they say is produced by "tumbling" - whatever that means. I like it because it's not fancy, it's not expensive and it gets the job done.
Review & Rating Summary: A Ping putter for $90. Need I say more!? I didn't pay too much or too little and got one of the best, most balanced putters out there. The only thing, as I mentioned before, is that I would recommend trying the different fits and lie angles. I didn't have a pro measure me for the putter and I didn't take the time to try the other models of this putter - I bet I could have got a better fit - but I'm not complaining. Oh no...

Ping Si3 - Drivers - Overall, great club even for the price, if you can find it a little cheaper it would be better. Excellent forgiveness, straight shots, even heel and toe shots go straight. The weight would probably
Ping G2 - Irons - Ping did a great job designing the G2 series irons by allowing different types of golfers to select different setups to suit their needs. I have a 3,4, and 5 HL with standard 6-SW. This was the ideal
Ping Si3 Driver - Drivers - Buy this driver, you will not regret it.You can also have yourself fitted, for the type of drive you play. This will help also for the slicers out there.
