B60 BeNi (nickel)

The Ping B60 BeNi is the nickel version of the B60 head, distinguished on the record by its material rather than any change in shape or geometry. Golfreview.com reports the head is made of Nickel, referred to as BeNi, and notes as a matter of material property that nickel is harder than steel or copper. That's the extent of what's verified in our files about what sets this release apart from other B60s.

Where the record gets more interesting is in how it's regarded. Golfreview.com called it "the best feeling B60 ever made," a sentiment echoed in Community opinion, which similarly praises the feel and flags this edition as rare and worth getting. That's two sources landing on the same conclusion, though both are opinion, not something Putter Talk has tested or verified in hand.

On the maker's own page for the current B60, Ping describes the line generally as a "straight-taper, midsized pistol with larger flat surfaces for increased face awareness," built around a heavier 17" grip meant to act as a counterweight through the stroke. That prose describes the B60 shape and grip system broadly, not the BeNi finish specifically, so it should be read as background on the line rather than a spec unique to this nickel release.
