Additional Details:

Purchase: Bought in England at letsbuygolfkit after I saw it in commercials etc - a well designed putter I just had to have! Paid 150Ģ - it better be good at that price!

Pros: Going out on the 1. round with the putter, I was afraid that the design of it would destroy my focus on the putting. What happend ? Well I used 31 puts with no one of theese nasty 3-putters and I had five 1-puts - the longest put sinked was about 7 meters! The putter is VERY well balanced and you have this feeling "I cant miss this put", when you line it up. I strongly advice you to but this putter - and normally im not a big fan of ping, but this baby does the job!

Cons: I think you will get a lot of comments from your playing partners because its so unlike all the other putters on the market! But in the future some of them will buy one too!

Doc 17 Quality: Perfect quality - the magnetic headcover is a wonderful gimmick, that increases the high quality feeling.

Review & Rating Summary: Some people use their last savings on a driver that outdrives the old one with 3 yards! In the bag they have a old piece of metal, that used to be a putter. In my world, its smarter using money on a REALLY good putter - and the Ping Doc 17 could/should be this one. I have also tried the DFX-2ball - also a very nice putter, but in my opinion it canīt keep up with the Doc.
