Darby

The Ping Darby name enters the record with the Sigma G edition of 2017, a large headed, face balanced mallet built around a long alignment line running parallel to the target line, as golfalot.com described it. That same outlet put the head weight at 370 grams, and mygolfway.com listed an MSRP of 215 EUR for the release, though these are editorial figures rather than verified specs, and belong to that reporting alone.

The line's second entry, simply Darby, carries the design forward without the Sigma G designation attached. Both releases share a detail that shows up repeatedly in commenter notes at pluggedingolf.com: a triangular grip shape offered as an option, a small thread that runs across both entries in the record.

Reaction to the Darby has been consistent in tone if not in source. pluggedingolf.com called the 2017 Sigma G version a real joy to use each round, language repeated almost verbatim in notes on the later Darby release. golfalot.com's reviewer singled out the set back hosel socket, noting that it lets you see all of the top line of the putter, a feature they observed on several other models in Ping's range as well. golfmonthly.com placed the Darby alongside the Kinloch as putters they liked from the broader lineup, without going into further detail. Across both entries, the Community's opinions lean toward praise for how the putter rolls the ball and how the face technology feels at impact, though these remain impressions logged against each release rather than findings this house has tested itself.
