Purchase: I was about to purchase a 2-ball putter from odyssey and saw the Craz-e putter from Ping at the local muni pro shop and purchased it for $159.00. I have replaced my old Isopur Ping Zing 2 with it. I was fitted and was recommended a Blue dot lie (one degree upright).
Pros: It is very easy to line up on close or long putts. The grip is the best one my hands ever felt. Purchased two more grips for the future.
with my cross handed grip I can hit straight no matter the distance. All I have to do is find the line and judge the speed the ball will go straight.
Cons: With my normal putting grip, the insert felt too soft. I was not able to hit it straight (I was also unable to hit it straight with my Ping Zing 2). I was not a Good putter to begin with, but this putter didnt seem to help at first.
Then I changed to a cross handed grip and all I had to do was find the line and speed because it is easy to hit straight and the roll was pure.
It seems with the cross handed grip I am able to putt correctly and I can feel it when I make a putt. It feels like I hit it solid.
Craz-e Blue Dot Quality: Very good construction. Ping is a top of the line company and they even put my last name on the putter. They will do this for anyone just ask. If the golf shop doesnt know what you are talking about buy it somewhere else and get it personalized.
Review & Rating Summary: Am I the best putter in the world because I bought this putter? No, but I bet every time I make a stroke you'll think I am going to make it or at least thats what people have been telling me lately. I have improved tremendously in the 5 months since I bought and so has my confidence. I would recommend to any who 1) cant make a straight 20 foot putt or 2) some one who has a lot of trouble with their putting game. I encourage everybody to demo it.

Ping i3 5 Wood 17 Degrees - Fairway Woods - Stunning club. It will go as far as I can take my game. If I can get start hitting more greens with my approach irons, I should be able to hit 40 for 9 holes if not break 40 and I hit from the white
Ping G2 - Drivers - Bottom Line is it will improve golf scores.
Ping Si3 - Drivers - The Ping Si3 is staying in the bag. Balls rocket off the face with a nice, low trajectory that I have been searching for. Price is a little steep but I know I'll win a few long drive holes in tourneys
Ping Ping G5 - Utility Clubs - With off center hits, the ball still flies relatively straight and the loss in distance is minimal compared to a 3 iron. I remember the par 5s I could reach in the old days, but couldnt carry over th
