Hoofer

The Hoofer line, as we hold it, runs to a single release: the 2021 Hoofer Series. There is no earlier or later entry in the record to trace a lineage against, so what follows is the shape of that one year rather than an arc across several.

Masterofthegreens.com, writing on the 2021 Hoofer Series, called it out for its alignment aids and clean designs, and separately credited the line with lightweight and high-performance designs. That's one outlet's read, not a figure Ping or this house has verified, and it's worth taking as such. Still, the throughline in that coverage is consistent: reviewers responding to how the mallets set up over the ball and how unfussy they looked doing it.

The maker's own pages captured alongside this release don't add to that picture. What's archived from ping.com for this period is shipping and returns copy, not product language about the Hoofer itself, so there's nothing to quote from Ping on design intent here beyond what masterofthegreens.com reported.

With one release on the books, the Hoofer's story in our files is really just its introduction: a 2021 mallet series that landed with reviewers as clean and well-aligned, on the strength of one publication's opinion rather than anything this house has put a putter in hand to confirm.
