This is a press release

Adding to a putter family that offers variable-depth grooves and adjustable-length shafts, both industry-firsts, PING today introduced three new Scottsdale TR™ (True Roll) putters: the Anser T™, the Craz-E® and the counter-balanced Senita® B. They are available for ordering in golf shops now. PING unveiled the initial 12 Scottsdale TR models this past spring, and they are widely in play on pro tours worldwide.

"True Roll technology has proved to be very popular because variable-depth grooves offer consistent ball speeds and unmatched distance control," said John A. Solheim, PING Chairman & CEO. "Golfers are making a higher percentage of their putts, even from longer range. That comes from the accuracy this technology provides, along with the added confidence, which is essential on the greens." The option of an adjustable-length shaft in traditional-length Scottsdale TR models has also been well-received. "Our studies show that golfers putt more consistently when they can self-adjust for length to optimize the fit and feel for their individual style."

The new blade-style Anser T utilizes PING's influential Anser head while adding an arched, bridge-style alignment line that extends from the front edge of the top rail to the back edge. The 360-gram Anser T fits Slight Arc putting strokes.

One of PING's most successful designs, the mallet-style Craz-E, celebrates its 10th anniversary in the form of the 365-gram Scottsdale TR Craz-E. It has the same easy alignment and confidence-inspiring shape as the original Craz-E head that debuted in 2004, and it can be ordered to fit any stroke type.

The Senita B provides the feel and performance of a belly putter without anchoring. Its 38-inch standard shaft has a 50-gram weight inside the grip end of the shaft to counter-balance the 400-gram head. The weight in the shaft creates a high balance point, which encourages a pendulum-like stroke and helps to release the putter head. Designed into the 17-inch grip are reference lines for the player to position his or her hands to optimize the benefits of counter-balancing. An adjustable-length shaft is optional, and the Senita B can be ordered with one of three shaft bends to fit any stroke type: Straight, Slight Arc, or Strong Arc.

The new blade style anser with the arched alignment line looks really cool.

Love the fact that Ping offers adjustable length putters as well, so handy.
 
Interesting upgrade on this line from last years models. Love the look of that Anser.
 
Last year's model has been money for me so far. Never had a putter that was so consistent. Looking forward to see what the expanded line brings.

interesting design. Is this the first time they've released that style of sight line or have they used it in the past?
I love the head shape (looks like my anser I gamed for years), but I don't know about the sight line. Guess I'd have to see it in hand to see how it frames the ball.
 
That alignment aid on the anser is interesting, I bet it does help with better alignment though.
 
I like it....But that insert looks fairly hard. I like the soft inserts.
 
They look good. The black is very nice.
 
I like the look of the Anser for sure

Hmmm, my dad uses a Wack-e and likes it, I could see the Craz-E appealing to him.
 
Counter balanced Senita? Me likey.
 
Give me a B60 and I'd be happy.
 
Not a fan of the mallet style but the blade is sweet looking.
 
Love seeing them expand the line. That Anser really does look good.
 
I do like the look of the Anser, the Craz-E and Senita not so much. I will give all of them a roll though, you never can tell which one is the magic pill.
 
Anser T definitely fits my eye!
 
Picked up a Counter Balanced Senita tonight. Everytime I am in the store I pick this thing up and every time I do I love the feel and roll it creates. I gamed the Senita before and the head shape just speaks to me. I won't be able to hit the course again tip next Saturday, but I am looking forward to seeing how it works out and will report back.
 
I agree Mr Fupresti. I am smitten by the Senita as well. It just sets up beautifully.
 
I don't know what it is, but the Ping Counter balancing feels so much more stable and weighted than the TaylorMade and Odyssey CB options. I just love the feel so far of the Senita TR at 35". I want to still hit the Spider Si, but this thing is fluid.
 
Well, after today the Senita B may be my fulltime gamer.

Well, at least as fulltime as a putter will be for me.

What caused that? I tried a Senita B at Golf Galaxy today and it was pretty sweet. I also rolled Cadence Shea TR (35" & adjustable) which were both good too. Would like to try a Scottsdale Shea though. Got to say that all of them roll the ball real good for me.

I'm pretty sure that my next putter is a Ping (which I didn't expect when I started trying different putters) but which one confuses me.

Haha. I used that putter a lot in 2015. The putter just sets up so good. And to my experience and tastes, Ping has the best counterbalancing out there.
 
I went with the Ketch last year and won't be changing anytime in the foreseeable future. From balance to looks to alignment to roll it's the best I've ever played.
