2023 KUSHIN 4 PUTTER

The Ping 2023 Kushin 4 arrived as part of that year's Kushin line, and what the maker's page speaks to most is the grip, not the head. Ping describes it as a straight-taper, midsized pistol with larger flat surfaces for increased face awareness, built around a 17" grip that's heavier than standard to act as a counterweight for more stability and control throughout the stroke, with a tacky feel and designated markings meant to help golfers establish a consistent, confident setup over every putt.

That's a grip-first pitch, and it's worth noting that nearly everything the maker's page dwells on for this release concerns feel and setup rather than milling, face technology, or geometry specific to the head. The rubber under-listing beneath the grip's larger flat surfaces is the one construction detail called out directly, tied to the stated goal of face awareness at address.

On availability, the publication ping.com listed this release as Limited Availability. That's an editorial note from the site's own listing rather than a verified production fact, so it should be read as a data point rather than settled history.
