Bergen

The Bergen shipped in 2016 as part of Ping's Vault series, a large mallet built around a raised, ball-width crown alignment aid that mygolfway.com described as similar to the award-winning Ketsch model. On record, it carries a 365 g head weight, 3 degrees of loft, a 35 inch length, a double-bend shaft, and stainless steel bottom weighting, all corroborated across editorial sources. TR face technology is verified from golfretailing.com, while the face's construction, an aluminum body paired with a steel sole plate, comes through only as editorial reporting and varies slightly in how outlets describe it, from a plain 6061 T-6 aluminium body/17-4 SS sole plate to a fully machined version of the same.

Reviewers were largely aligned on what the Bergen delivered on the green. golfretailing.com called it easy to align and credited it with tremendous stability due to the extremely high MOI, a claim echoed in the general praise the model received for its high-performance mallet design. mygolfway.com placed it alongside the Oslo as part of a mallet lineup building on recent success with models like the Ketsch. Golfalot went further on the equipment itself, crediting the new grip and TR face with putting that is pure gold, a stronger endorsement of the face technology than the more measured stability-focused notes from other outlets.

Pricing reporting diverges by market and configuration: golfretailing.com listed £275 fixed and £299 adjustable, mygolfway.com put it at €355 fixed and €390 adjustable, and pluggedingolf.com cited 300 USD, none of which the Record treats as a single confirmed figure. Within the Vault series, the Bergen sits as a mallet counterpart to the Oslo, sharing the era's alignment philosophy and TR face work rather than standing as an isolated design.
