Ping Scottsdale TEC Hayden, golf putter
The Ping Scottsdale TEC Hayden Putter represents a revolution in alignment thanks to the innovative Eye-Q technology, developed in PING laboratories based on tracking the eye movements of elite players. This mallet-style model, with a 360g head, is designed for golfers with a Straight Arc stroke, offering extreme stability and a high level of forgiveness (MOI) thanks to the combination of an aluminum body and a steel sole plate. A key feature is the PEBAX insert, which provides soft yet responsive contact with the ball, resulting in precise distance control. The Hayden is more than just a putter—it is a tool for visually calming your focus before a putt, helping you hole even the most challenging putts.
Detailed Description and PING Scottsdale TEC Hayden Technology
Are you looking for a putter that will give you confidence on the green? The Ping Scottsdale TEC Hayden combines insights from the PING Putting Lab with premium materials to eliminate errors in alignment and pace control. This high-tech mallet is an ideal choice for players who prefer a modern look and maximum technological support.
Revolutionary Alignment with Eye-Q Technology
The foundation of the Hayden model is Eye-Q technology. On the top line of the putter, you will find a discreet dot which, combined with a long white line and the head’s contrasting black-and-white design, helps “anchor” your gaze. This system is based on the Quiet Eye technique, which calms eye movement immediately before the stroke begins. The result is better focus on the target, a more stable head, and significantly more accurate putting start lines.
PEBAX Insert for Outstanding Feel
To achieve an optimal response, Ping chose a one-piece elastomer PEBAX insert. This material, known from elite athletic footwear for its high energy return, provides a soft feel at impact without sacrificing feedback on ball speed. This is essential for Distance Control—you will no longer leave putts too short or send them 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 moves the center of gravity (CG) low and toward the perimeter 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 roll.
