Ping Scottsdale TEC Hayden, golf putter
The Putter Ping Scottsdale TEC Hayden represents a revolution in aiming thanks to the innovative Eye-Q technology, developed in PING’s labs based on eye movement tracking of elite players. This mallet-shaped model with a head weight of 360g is designed for golfers with a Straight Arc stroke, offering extreme stability and a high moment of inertia (MOI) thanks to the combination of an aluminum body and a steel sole plate. A key feature is the PEBAX insert, which provides a soft yet responsive contact with the ball, leading to precise distance control. Hayden is not just a putter; it is a tool for visual calmness before the stroke that will help you sink even the most challenging putts.
Detailed Description and PING Scottsdale TEC Hayden Technology
Looking for a putter that will boost your confidence on the green? The Ping Scottsdale TEC Hayden combines insights from the PING Putting Lab with premium materials to eliminate errors in aiming and tempo control. This high-tech mallet is the ideal choice for players who prefer a modern look and maximum technological support.
Revolutionary Aiming with Eye-Q Technology
At the core of the Hayden model is the Eye-Q technology. On the top edge of the putter, you will find a discreet dot that, combined with a long white line and the contrasting black-and-white head design, helps “anchor” your gaze. This system is based on the Quiet Eye technique, which calms eye movement just before the stroke begins. The result is better focus on the target, a more stable head, and significantly more accurate putt starting lines.
PEBAX Insert for Perfect Feel
To achieve optimal feedback, Ping chose a one-piece insert made of PEBAX elastomer. This material, known from elite athletic footwear for its high energy return, provides a soft feel at impact without losing responsiveness to ball speed. This is key for Distance Control – you will no longer have putts that are too short or unnecessarily long.
Construction for Maximum Stability (MOI)
The putter body is precisely milled from lightweight 6061 aluminum, while the sole plate is made from dense 304 stainless steel. This weight distribution lowers the center of gravity (CG) and moves it toward the edges of the head. What does this mean for you? An extremely high moment of inertia (MOI). Even on off-center hits, the head remains stable, does not twist, and the ball maintains its intended direction and spin.
