PING Heppler Tyne 3 Putter

Heppler Tomcat putter .....but

I absolutely love this putter and would recommend it to anyone BUT in six months the paint job is not standing up very well - it is starting to look tacky! This is not a cheap putter and, believe me, it is not a disappointing addition to my G425 bag but the paint job?

Love my Heppler Fetch putter!

I purchase my Heppler Fetch on my birthday, December 31, 2021, which was my 70th! I love the ability to adjust the length of my putter which I discovered the 33-1/2” length as my best fitting. I normally spot putt by rolling my ball over my aiming point which is about 6-12” from my ball lie. My accident, I discovered that I can use the hole in my Fetch like an aiming sight… read more on my forward stroke! My putting has never been more consistent!

Point and Shoot!

I have been a putter "ho" for many years. Have had dalliances with them all. Blades, mallets, center shaft, face balanced, major toe hang, partial toe hang, you name it. Was in a golf shop, and as usual stroked a couple of new putters. I wasn't really looking for a new putter, but the Tomcat 14 seemed to line up very easily for me. Knowing that all of the putter demo areas… read more all lead to the cup (kidding?) I resisted the urge for the impulse buy. I was curious and did return a week later to see if the "magic" was still there, or if I was just smitten by another mistress that would leave me in a few rounds. It worked! Our greens have a lot of slope and undulation. My lag putting has improved 100% in speed and line. Have had many rounds since with very few 3 putt holes. The Tomcat really suits my eye and for me, is very easy to aim intuitively. Only four star issue is that the adjustable shaft is smaller in diameter, and it initially felt somewhat whippy. That said, I have rarely ever putted as well, so I'm not changing anything! I'm sold.

Great feel. and love the adjustable handle

I bought this at the beginning of the 2021 season and I love it. Great feel

I can putt again

I use to use only Ping putters when I started playing. I had a Pal 4 that was my bread and butter putter. Over time I started to fade on it and picked up a SC putter that I was attached to mostly because of the name. As I a get older, I find that a light putter is more challenging for me to use accurately. I decided to switch from a blade putter to a heavier mallet and got… read more my hands on a Tyne 3. I feel like a kid in a candy store. This putter has renewed my love of Ping and my accuracy has come back. Now I have the confidence to hit puts from everywhere knowing I have a chance. The ability to adjust the grip to a desired length was the icing on the cake. I can dial in to the exact position that is not only comfortable, but puts me in the correct position to look down at the ball and the line. I totally recommend these Ping putters any golfer looking to customize the length and find the right line.

Great feeling Tomcat 14

I purchased this Heppler Tomcat to replace a 29 year old putter. I like the feel of the club when its adjusted to it's shorter length. I also believe it's helping me line up my putts better. You can't go wrong with the PING. I'm starting the process to get fitted for a new set of PING G425 clubs. I'm working with a club pro on my swing and I keep going back to the G425's when… read more I go to Windmill Golf Center near me to demo the clubs. I'm trying to keep an open mind on my final club selection but the PING's just feel so nice. Do your homework, demo as many as you can and the PING's just seem to rise to the top.

Great balance

Fitted @ club champion. The Heppler line was far and away the best of six different manufacturers. Easy pick.

Excellent roll

My Heppler was delivered about two weeks ago, I have hit a few dozen putts on the practice green. I can't wait to put it in play next summer!

Most Accurate Putter I Have Ever Used!

Received it today and took it to the course for some practice on the putting green. Went through my usual drills and it was marvelously accurate from the first roll. Finished my practice with my usual drill...make two putts from 3 ft, 6 ft, 9 ft, 12 ft, and 15 ft consecutively without a miss...only took me three attempts. Consistent roll, alignment is amazing...during the nine… read more hole round, had no three-putts, five two-putts and four one-putts...absolutely love this thing...it has putt enjoyment back into putting!

My New Favorite Putter

Since losing my very old fashioned putter that I've had since childhood my putting had gone to the dogs. I tried different putters with all wonderful reputations, but the golf ball still refused to go in the hole. Then the golf professional at our club suggested this Ping Heppler putter so I bought it. It may have taken a round or 2, but the ball is going in the hole just like… read more magic...again! Since I'm known for being a very good putter I can't describe how happy I am! The feel, the grip, how it looks when I look down the shaft at the ball are just a few reasons for this.

Love - hate

Putter head was fantastic - easy to line up and sink...I give that part 5 stars. The shaft - 1 star. Not sure if I got a defective product, but I could feel/hear a click and flexing in the grip. Wish there was an option without the adjustable shaft.

Timeless Classic

- Clean lines - Great weighting - Adjustable grip was nice for initial fitting - Only took one star off for the actual grip. Not a huge fan of the texture or the graphics on it.

Wow...terrific putter

I bought the Heppler Fetch after messing around with putters while buying some balls. Never intended to buy a new putter, but I just had to after trying it. I didn't even realize that the grip was height adjustable until I was checking out. I also didn't realize that the circular hole in the putter head was designed to grip a ball so that you can pick them up without bending down… read more ( hence the name Fetch). Pretty cool design features. The bronze and black color is beautiful and glare free.The only negative is the headcover. Very attractive but the hinge on the flap is too stiff, and the tab on the receiving side bends into the hole in the putter. Customer service sent me a replacement which is a bit better, but I'll probably just get an aftermarket one. I would buy this putter again even eithout a headcover. Great design Ping!

Unexpected Purchase-and that’s a good thing!

Went to purchase a putter with an open mind and came away with the Heppler Fetch! I tried everything and this one totally shocked me. The feel and sound are fantastic (I usually prefer inserts), and the set up is easy and the sight lines seem to really fit my eye. I love the adjustability and the weight really seems to work for me. Very pleasantly surprised, thanks Ping.

The balance of the putter is great!

I have had the putter for about eight week and have play twenty-four round with it. The balance and the feel are excellent. The got the Ping over sized grip on it and really completed the putter for me. The feel gives me a lot of confidence in getting the correct speed on many longer putts. The putter also has a great looks. The price is very reasonable for the quality of the putter.

Like the weight

Got this 2 months ago and the more I go golfing the better my short game is getting with this awesome putter

Felt natural, comfortable right away.

I love that it can be adjusted. The weight is just right for me. Handsome putter.

I love the feel and balance

I was on a Zoom call with Bill Iseri with Ping and he was telling me about the new Heppler series

pure

I upgraded my putter this year. I originally was looking for a straight back club but this felt pure from the start and naturally rocked back and forth. Have drained multiple 50's this year (all luck) but nonetheless I still felt good behind the ball.

Great feel and alignment

Replaced an old putter after some 20 years. This heppler Tomcat 14 is great. My putting succes and confidence has improved greatly.

Excellent Putter

Purchased a Tomcat 14 after witnessing a fellow golfer sink almost every putt. Especially like the adjustable grip and feel. Ergonomically designed to fit in the palm of the hand. Great value!

Consistency

The incredible feel and consistency of the roll of my putts have given me confidence that has been lacking from my game.

Really like the look and feel

Had an original Anser for the last 10 years and loved it but was time for a change. The Heppler is a bit heavier and I love it. Still gotta get it to the hole!!

Simplicity with flare!

The ZB3 is not only the best performing putter I have ever had, but also is the most attractive. I appreciate the old school simplicity in combination with the innovative adjustable shaft. This putter is a winner!

Love the Tomcat 14

6 rounds now with the Tomcat and under 30 putts each round - usually 32-34. Difference is improved alignment and confidence from inside 8 feet and improved distance control due to high MOI. Takes some getting used to if you are used to a blade but worth the switch!

Great feel and performance

I bought the putter a few weeks ago and my putting has improved dramatically.

Great feel and roll.

I have had the putter for a few weeks now and my putting has changed dramatically.I am making all kinds of putts,long,short and everything in between.

Best Putter Feel

I supplemented my Tyne putter with the Heppler Fetch. The deciding factor was the smooth milled face. This feature gives the putter a bit more ball speed and an incredible amount of feel, something that I appreciate on those touchy sensitive putts. So now I have two excellent putters I can switch between depending upon conditions. Nice to have options.

Perfect Fit!

I received my custom fit Floki putter. I have been using it for 3 weeks and am extremely happy.

Super putter

After trying 4 different putters all blades and 35 inches long. I struggled to get something that suited my stroke. This putter is by far the best golf investment I've made, adjustable length and easy to line up and swing on the right path. After being a 2 putter or even 3, it's taken easily 12 strokes of my game.

Balance and weight feel right

I am very happy with my local course professional and club fitter: with Sycamore Golf Course in North Manchester, IN. He gave me very good advise and counsel when approaching the putting process. He had multiple putters and we found this Ping Heppler to fit my needs. Practice is continuing.

Consistent feel very smooth constant release

Very good results over all the grass varieties here in northeast Ohio.

Love the feel and forgiveness

Haven’t used it on the course yet but it’s working great in my office

Great feel and alignment.

I bought a Ping Ketsch putter several years ago and loved it. Like many, I have tried other brands and models and none have come close to the accuracy and distance control the Ketsch offered. After many years, the face insert had too many dings and cuts from playing in less than great courses. I looked at the new Ketsch mallet and it was just as the one I had. Same shape, same… read more three alignment lines on top, a little smaller in overall size, similar weight, but with a milled face. After demoing it I took a chance and bought it. Could not be any happier with it. Its a great putter. Strongly recommend it.

Adjustable shaft

I used to cut the shaft and regrip after buying a new putter, which didn't have to do this time. I had an Odyssey putter of similar configuration but this putter seems giving a little more stability (less face turn on mis-hit) and a look of a well designed putter. An additional bonus is that you can retrieve a ball from water with the putter head, and also you can easily lift… read more the devots (yours and those made and left by others) without bending and repair the fairway along your walk to the green.

awesome..

i"ve been using this club for one month now, every time i grab it i feel very confident, the shape really helps me to straight my swing and the sound is so nice, very incredible putter i"ve ever used. it gives me so much help in increasing my put... Thank you so much PING.

Almost Perfect

I bought the Heppler Floki last season and like it very much. The only issue I have with it is on longer putts it feels like the inner adjustable shaft is loose so it feels as if the head is moving on the follow through. I contacted Ping and they said to take it back to a Ping rep to have it shipped back to the factory for review.

Solid and Comfortable, but One Knock

The putter is very confidence-building. Keeps the line easy to hold, remains true to the plane and makes very solid contact. Especially helpful on shorter putts. Adjustable length was very useful and contributes to the overall feel and comfort in your hands. One knock -- and a disappointment from the Ping brand -- the black paint areas on the putter chip easily and after less… read more than 6 months use, it looks really banged-up. Face, top and bottom of the head have bare metal where the black paint has come off. While I keep it in the provided putter cover, it still shows too much wear. I expected better quality paint from Ping on a top-line putter.

Visual aid for declining vision

I bought this after my ping fittings at granite falls. My sight is worsening and the front to back white stripes, along with multi colored head has helped maintain stroke alignment with direction alignment.

Typical Ping Quality

Very well balanced and easy to fit with the adjustable shaft. Great visual when aligning a putt.

Great Investment

I've been using a Ping Anser II for years but realized I needed a face-balanced putter with the benefit of current technology. The Fetch has dramatically improved my putting result and increased my confidence standing over putts.

Customizable, a differentiator ..

I've been buying putters pretty regularly since I broke my Yes! Callie. The Heppler has great feel as I'm better able to feel the stroke needed for our usually slow greens in Hawaii. I often feel like we're putting on molasses, especially Paspalum greens which are becoming more pervasive. Anyway, I ordered it 2 degrees upright and the ability to fine tune the length is the differentiator… read more for me. Ordering in inch differences is not good enough to match up the lie / length so the putter lines up under my eyes. This is why I chose the Heppler.

Heppler putter

The putter broke after 2 months. Given a demo with a grip that wasn't aligned whilst my putter went for repair. Still waiting 3 months later...........

Love the heavier weighted head

I prefer a heavier weighted head and this putter is just perfect. The heavier weight and overall feel of the putter remind me that I can focus on an easy, controlled stroke.

Disappointed

I bought the Heppler Fetch after having used the Sigma2 Tyne 4 for a summer. My wife like the Sigma2 so much that it ended up in her bag. So I bought a Heppler. After only 3 rounds, the bottom plate popped off. Very disappointed. Not sure if/when I’ll buy another Ping putter.

Like the style

I purchased it a month and half ago and do to the fact I live in the east and had my my knee I’ve been unable to use it

Love the feel and adjustment feature.

I experimented with a variety of putters before settling on the Ping Heppler. I love the feel and the weight. I am able to be a lot more consistent because it feels so balanced and the feel at impact is great. Because if the adjustment feature I was able to get the ideal length that is comfortable for me. Unlike having to just deal with certain putters of having to have them cut… read more to length. I am very satisfied with this putter.

Best putter I have ever used

I bought my first ping putter in 1971 and have had many brands and models since. But after some research i chose the Tomcat 14. Before I took it on the course I putted on my green in the house. I was amazed how easy it was to swing and line up. I am a straight back and straight forward putter so I bought the straight model. On the course it has proven it pedigree with great distance… read more control and amazing line up ease. The adjustable grip is an amazing trailblazing addition to the club. I highly recommend this putter.

New Putter Wahoo !

So glad I splurged on my new Ping Heppler Tyne 3 ! In the past Ive never treated myself to such a fine putter because of cost concerns . The putter is just about perfect . With the extension all the way out the shaft has a bit of a whippy feel . Actually going to replace shaft with a fixed 36 inch shaft in the spring .

Fantastic putter

Used my new Tomcat 14 in tournament. 6 birdies in two tournament rounds!! Won my flight!! Best money I have ever spent on a [email protected]

BEYOND BELIEF.....REALLY!!

I can not oversell the Tomcat 14 Heppler Putter by Ping. Over the course of 2 months, my putting has gone to a new level. I adjusted it from the 35 inch, I was use to, to a 33.5 that now is like Lights Out!! I admit it. I have always gotten a putter based more on looks than workability. I wanted to "scoop/pick up" the ball after leaving it a few inches away, etc... NOW??? I'll never… read more make that mistake again. *Note: I have the Ping Sigma G Tyne Putter and the Sigma G Kinlock Center Shafted Putter* Trust me when I tell you that the expense of getting the RIGHT putter is worth it. Adjusting the Heppler Tomcat 14 to fit EXACTLY to my stance and style is worth twice that. Thanks

Heppler Tyne 3 putter

I have always used Ping products and recently acquired the new Heppler Tyne 3 putter . I love the look and feel of this putter, however I’m disappointed in that I sent it back to Ping in South Africa as the shaft had come loose from the head ?? Yes, it’s been repaired but it’s now 2 months old and looks like a 5 year old putter as the copper colored paint is coming off and… read more the black paint is chipping where other clubs have come in contact with it ?? I believe Ping should look into why these things are happening!! I remain a firm fan of Ping products and hopefully they can sort these issues out .

Great

Great, I am able to get a better view of the ball and am making more putts. Ping does it again.

Adjustable length mechanism is awesome feature!

Putting struggles made it time for a new look. My desired stroke is straight back but leans more to straight with slight arc and “Senior twitchy”. Extensive research led me to the Tomcat 14. The high MOI and alignment/ball framing are excellent features. The ability to change lengths was a game changer for me! It is like having multiple putters in one club. I am a “analytical… read more thinker” and not afraid to adjust clubs that have this feature so this putter is great for me. Solid feel, great balance, and feeling of confidence at set up. Have been playing golf 50 years and never used ping clubs. With this Tomcat, my entire bag is now Ping. I Highly recommend this Tomcat putter!

Beautiful

I had n Anser 30 or 40 years ago then switched over to Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum.I traded in a Scotty Newport 2-the one with the insert- for the Heppler Anser blade putter. After 3 rounds I am very impressed. The putter has great feel.I have it set at 34 inches and it will probably stay there.I'm not sold on the adjustable length. It has clean lines and the single horizontal… read more line on top on the clubhead gets me lined up perfectly for my putt. I also like the weight and the grip is excellent.

Making way more putts

Bought 2 months ago. We're getting along great. Make 6 footers effortlessly and convert twice as many in the 6 to 12 foot range. Takeaway is much more stable than with my old blade style. Helps you see the line better, and stays online really well. Lags are much tighter too

“Fetch” the ball from the hole!

What a feel. The ball explodes off the face. Love it!

ZB3 Putter WOW

tried this putter at my local course on the putting green and i couldn't believe the balance, feel and the feedback coming back through this putter putt after putt. For me a definite confidence feel good putter in the bag. All i got to do now is pay for the putter,,,

Piper C hits the spot

Played Ping putters for most of my golfing life and Decided to change my old centre shaft insert putter for the Piper C. Nice balance and feel of the face and really enjoying the firm feel off the face especially on slow greens, noticed it was solid through impact with no twisting felt.Always been a decent putter but nothing but praise for this putter as the last few rds have… read more been sub 30 putts and confidence sky high again with the short club.

Ping Heppler Type 3 putter.

very well balanced, the adjustable grip works as advertised, no difference of feel in the grip. And a great price for the quality of the club.
