Viktor Hovland PLD DS72 SE Limited Edition Putter Review
Ping have been known to make some of the best putters throughout the generations but some may argue they have started to slip up, especially with this recent release of Viktor Hovland's limited edition DS72/.

Have a 1982 Ping Anser. Same copper finish with classic ping sound. Still works well.

@brianwaldo2642 Месяц назад

I just checked online here in Canada, and I can pick up #9/100 from the US for the bargain price of $4000 USD 😵‍💫. At that price I would expect it to come with a Tour Pro to do the putting for me.

@David-ms7us 16 дней назад

You are talking about the Hovi Putter! That one was limited to 100 Putters. The Putter reviewed here is a lot more accesible!

@richardllewellyn2633 Месяц назад

Interesting. I recently got an Odyssey Rosie S OG putter. It was £85 and when it arrived it was the John Rahm version so has no sight lines at all on it. I absolutely love it as I don’t use a line on my ball and have found sight lines a bit distracting as often found myself looking where lines were striking ball instead of concentrating on ball and the whole. My putting has improved immensely. Each to their own I guess.

@grahamdunn3136 Месяц назад

Watch the Rick Shiels video on Ping customised putter. He was very disappointed and they sent him another

@justindonohoe2876 Месяц назад

Absolute disgrace from ping. Buy a hovland putter that looks nothing like a putter used by hovland. What a con. Ping should be embarrassed. Esp after the £500 putter fitting nonsense that they do. Losing their way are Ping.

@dloc2907 23 дня назад

They did a limited edition with all the stuff missed. They are numbered and did 100 of them.

@skyemac8 Месяц назад

I have DS72 silver and the aggressive milling. Amazing putter. Best I’ve used.

@paulaskey1508 Месяц назад

I think a degree of naivety here. There was a limited run of 100 exact copies of the Hoveland putter presumably at some exorbitant price, if this version were made to exactly the same spec it would make that special 100 not special at all ? I’m not saying it is right or wrong but it is hardly surprising that it is not quite up to the special limited edition version.

@joeperez3520 Месяц назад

Here in the USA, the 36 inch version seems to be on backorder, but DID find a place that has the 35".

@davidfletcher6836 Месяц назад

Just had a fitting on a lab putter and you can customise it to your own look within reason. About 30 different line up lines to choose from several colours and it’s fitted to your height and lie angle for 539 which seemed expensive but actually probably is reasonable.

@adh1308 Месяц назад

This is interesting. I am also a huge PING fan and am kind of scratching my head here as to why they didn’t make this putter more like Victor Hovland’s. I think PING really missed the mark on this. Too many differences that make the putter almost completely different. The size and grip alone is enough to make you wonder what they were thinking.

@briarmeadow Месяц назад

They had one of the Victor Holland DS72 SE's at my local store, it sold quickly. I like the standard PLD Gunmetal DS72 better - Dark shaft keeps my focus on the putter head, head has the milled face and the longer white alignment line on the bottom. I need that longer sight line to better set the face to my intended start line for the putt. Getting old. Oh, and mine is 35" length, my actual fit length. As for grips, eventually, I'll replace the Ping grip for a Lamkin Deep Etched putter grip, a best fit for me. The PLD DS72 is new to my bag this year and replaces a very old and slightly bent Taylormade TM-770 with the gray PureRoll face insert. It held the #1 spot in the bag for many years.

@andrewpoupart6729 Месяц назад

Great to see Head Pro Harry on the channel Dan, always thought you should get him on a course vlog, any thoughts? You and Lester vs Harry and Josh filmed at Churston, annual match, Ray Rearden trophy, bring it on. Oh, and Scotty Cameron Newport for me, all day long.

@joeperez3520 Месяц назад

Looks beautiful, though. Reminds me of the Mizuno C5 putter from back in the day when Bettinardi was making the Mizuno putter line. I had that putter, but sadly it was stolen.

@DanHendriksenGolf Месяц назад

😳

@chippycut1406 Месяц назад

Nice video Dan. PING were never going to make it like his actual putter with the limited 100 piece Hovi edition that they already came out with. That being said I actually like this version better. It's very clean. Make sure to keep this putter dry and oil it people or it will turn into a rust bucket. One of the reasons many OEMs do not sell carbon finishes anymore.

@chippycut1406 Месяц назад

To add some clarity to my comment. This is not 303 stainless it's 1018 carbon steel. Hence the good feel. PING recommend food grade silicon spray to prevent rust and like I said above keep it dry. Do not put it away wet like Rick Shiels did or 1018 carbon will rust.

@maamold Месяц назад

First that insane putter fitting cost with a crappy putter (they have kinda resolved that now). And now this.

@yadthink Месяц назад

I liked Ping far better when Karsten ran the company. His heirs seem to be as money-motivated as the other mainstream brands. And the loft-jacking with the G430 irons led me to switch iron brands after decades with Ping. Times have changed...

@garrywhite468 Месяц назад

Love ping but they have fallen short on this product …how much is this item and how much was the limited edition???

@DanHendriksenGolf Месяц назад

Around £550 Garry

@stuartmcinnes2903 Месяц назад

Definitely dropped the ball there I think Ping. Not the first PLD quality/value for money questions I’ve seen raised online. The R&D, manufacturing and marketing departments probably need to get their heads together when it comes to replicas like this. I’m sure as he’s the current FedEx champion they could have got a bit of money from their side if cost was an issue to cover the blades for cutting the shaft, machines for the extra aim groove on the top, a bit of white paint and even the overtime of the workers to build them if needed. They still make quality putters without the need for poor imitations of tour only clubs. If it did so well in the US market why dilute it for another. 🤷‍♂️

@JohnBewes Месяц назад

FYI which you should know 🤷🏻‍♂️ I think it was last year Ping did release a true replica of Hovlands putter for retail but I think was around £1000 , the one you have is around half that

@aaronstanyer9393 Месяц назад

They certainly charge enough for this one, it should really be like for like being a ltd edition 'Hovland' putter!

@StephenCsaplar Месяц назад

Yes, it’s a little misleading and I would be disappointed.

@paulmcgee1867 Месяц назад

Inesis mallet is my best putter

@michaelscore6763 Месяц назад

Yes, it costs more money making such individual signs on a putter - but only a few bucks! It's a shame making money with such editions. My first putter was a anser like seve used. This putter sounded unique and that's it. If i would buy tomorrow a putter i would take never a ping again!

@peterfoale203 Месяц назад

So Ping have made a Hovland limited edition putter that's not like his putter. Like Ping making a Rory driver except he uses Taylormade 😜

@trevecchi1766 Месяц назад

Not exactly a catchy name for the putter is it?

@davegilbert9000 Месяц назад

That’s very disappointing Dan, if Ping USA can replicate it, Ping Europe should have done the same, unfortunate .

@drewl4921 Месяц назад

Interesting a Hovland edition putter but it’s clear it’s actually not 🤦🤔

@grahamparkyn1590 Месяц назад

It’s a no brainier for me Dan, this is not what is say’s on the tin, poor showing by Ping in this instance, hope Harry can get it working for him….

@rlealvalencia 18 дней назад

That putting stroke is god awful 😂

@martynmurfitt-wrather7555 Месяц назад

Definitely an own goal there from Ping & the less said about the price point the better…

@paulwhenman2842 Месяц назад

That's an absolute disgrace from Ping. After the putter fitting fiasco as well they should be ashamed. In no way is that a Hovland putter. Can't help but think that Ping are turning to gimmicks and dodgy marketing as they are falling behind other brands now especially in the putter department, which is a real shame. They need some fresh blood I think and a new direction. Never thought I'd see it out of Ping but it feels like they're starting to rip off the consumer

@simonhuss9619 Месяц назад

I suppose the problem with making a full hovland putter is the fact that most people gonna use it put putter cover on and not use it till nxt round, it would be a pile of crap in 6 months, as hovlands is unplated steel and would rust and pit, loads of wannabe's would be making warranty claims against ping

@simonyoung8730 Месяц назад

… and the retail price of this is?????

@DanHendriksenGolf Месяц назад

About £500

@simonyoung8730 Месяц назад

Well into Scotty money then! Glad I play LH so cannot be tempted🤣🤣

@tonyweymouth3111 Месяц назад

It’s typical Ping in my opinion, all the points Harry made is totally justified, that is not Hovland’s putter. Very poor from Ping, ripping off their customers. 👎

@roberttaylor1801 Месяц назад

I do get where Harry is coming from but surely he didnt really think he was getting a replica. Not doubting Harry's ability and obviously is a respected PGA Professional but he is not Victor Hovland ability. Ping pay Victor lots and lots of money for him to use their kit. Marketing Exposure here is key. To put this another way, the wannabes amongst us want the kit the tour pros use, it reality we might want a Tiger Woods of Rory etc set of irons costing many thousands of pounds but they would not make us play any better in fact probably worse. Having a Victor Hovland putter to his exact spec wasnt going to be £500 the liklehood another 0 would have been on the end. Its a nice looking putter Harry but for the money i would have bought a Scotty 😂

@frankodozi5349 Месяц назад

Can Harry send the putter back to Ping and get some of the specs he prefers or get a refund?

@DanHendriksenGolf Месяц назад

Probably Frank, but think he will try a build it up 👍

@davidevans1203 Месяц назад

Ping being lazy and taking customer for granted, if someone wants to pay it let them.

@nickupjohn8586 Месяц назад

Quite blatantly NOT the Hovland spec putter , give it a wide berth , go buy a LAB ! 😂

@c.shawnrobinson7101 Месяц назад

Takoma hat? Is this an early sign of changes....

@DanHendriksenGolf Месяц назад

No 😂 just grabbed it as I walked out the door 👍

@paulmcgee1867 Месяц назад

Hopefully not

@Sportsfanatic7-7 Месяц назад

It’s a Hovland inspired putter made for a larger audience than the limited “Hovi” putter. It’s his DS72 shape, patina finish, and OSU inspired headcover.

@graemecallan5769 Месяц назад

Hello!!!

@zittyrrrs7082 Месяц назад

How much do they pay their marketing guys? Hay mr ping dealer. I want to buy a Hovland putter snd im willing to pay whatever it costs. Thank you. You can't have one but give us thousands and you can look like an idiot in front of your friends who will ridicule you relentlessly. 🙄

@kevmoore2148 Месяц назад

Evening all

@DanHendriksenGolf Месяц назад

Evening Kev 👍

@edwinlambley2801 Месяц назад

So not much in common. Come on Ping you are getting a few things wrong at the moment. I have the 10k driver and the head cover is what can only be described as very poor especially for the price.

@drewl4921 Месяц назад

Funny you mention that, see lots of Ping headcovers in terrible shape! I wonder what they have been doing with them, my Pxg headcover could still pass as new after almost 3 years
