Cushin Putter

Ping released the Cushin in 1965, under the spelling the company used at the time. Ping later revived the design as the Kushin, and the two are one lineage carrying two different spellings across different eras of the brand.

Golfbluebook.com describes the design as heel-toe weighted with a lower center of gravity, characteristics that place it among Ping's early efforts to move weight away from the center of the blade and get it working for the golfer rather than against him. The same source describes the aesthetics as clean optics that promote confidence, though this is the publication's characterization rather than anything Ping itself has stated about the piece.

On value, golfbluebook.com lists a cash value of $13.50 to $28.35, a credit value of $15.00 to $31.50, and a resale value of $40.00 to $55.00. These figures come from a single outside source and should be read as one publication's reporting rather than an appraised or established figure.

Within its own line, the 1965 Cushin represents the putter as it first shipped, before the name and spelling were carried forward into the modern Kushin. Anyone tracing the lineage forward or back should treat this entry as the point of origin for that name, whichever spelling they encounter it under.
