B60

The B60 begins in 1976 as a stainless steel blade, finished in Ping's Black Dot, with a low CG per the maker's page and 2ndswing.com. It has stayed in the catalog in one form or another since, long enough to pick up variants in Beryllium Copper and Beryllium Nickel along the way, both of which drew notice from golfreview.com: the BeNi model as "the best feeling B60 ever made," and the BeCu as a putter that "will always be in the top 10 putters of all time category, IMO." best-putter.com's review of the standard B60 credits the long aimline and b-shape for reliable alignment and calls it attractive with great roll, but pairs that with a harder verdict, that the B60 has been "the lesser relation to the Anser in Ping's stable for several decades" and carries a dull feel next to thinner-profile putters.

The line's more recent eras lean on Ping's broader technology pushes rather than a change in silhouette. The Sigma G B60 arrived in 2017; Golf Monthly found it firmer than expected but praised the balance it struck between feel and roll on slower greens, a tradeoff worth noting given how differently the older BeCu and BeNi models were received on feel. The Vault 2.0 B60 followed in 2018, picking up a True-Roll face per pluggedingolf.com and a curved back and Copper/Platinum finish options per essential.golf, with pluggedingolf.com pegging it for slight-arc strokes at 355 grams. A Karsten 1959 edition and a Karsten TR model also carry the B60 name forward, the latter reported by amateurgolf.com at 345 grams and fitted for slight arc.

By 2023 and 2024 the line had settled on a shallow-milled face as its signature move. The 2023 B60 is verified at a 3° loft and 350g head weight per carlsgolfland.com, with golfreview.com crediting its precision-milled face and alignment aids for improved roll and consistent contact. The 2024 B60 Putter carries the same verified specs, a shallow milled face, 350g head weight, and 3° loft, corroborated across carlsgolfland.com and eu.ping.com, with eu.ping.com adding a slight arc stroke fit. Ping's own product page describes it as a "Straight-taper, midsized pistol with larger flat surfaces for increased face awareness," with a heavier 17" grip built in as a counterweight. TGW.com and eu.ping.com both point to the shallow milling as the source of a firmer, more consistent response, language echoed in the community's own take on the 2024 release as a "fan favourite" with a firmer response and consistent roll. A 50th Anniversary edition, meanwhile, looks backward rather than forward, cast in manganese bronze with a gold and black scheme and an old Ping ground rubber grip per golfreview.com, which called it the best marriage of old Ping and new Ping design.
