Oslo 3 (PLD Milled)

The Oslo 3 PLD Milled is a 2024 mallet in Ping's PLD line, described by tgw.com and golf.com as a Tyrrell-Hatton-influenced design carrying an Anser 3-style hosel. golf.com reported the design pushes weight lower and farther back to optimize the center of gravity, and golfalot.com noted the middle cavity and large white alignment line as its alignment feature. Publications differ slightly on the face material, with tgw.com and golf.com both citing 303 stainless steel, golfalot.com specifying it as forged. The face itself is described by tgw.com and golfalot.com as carrying a deep AMP, or Aggressive Milling Pattern, finished in what tgw.com, golfalot.com, and golf.com each call a gunmetal finish. golf.com reported the milling process runs more than four hours per head.

On pricing, golfalot.com listed the Oslo 3 at 450 GBP while golf.com put it at 485 USD, figures that don't reconcile to a single currency conversion and are worth noting as reported rather than resolved. golfalot.com also listed a head weight of 375 g, a black Ping Composite shaft, and a PP58 Tour L grip, with golf.com and golfalot.com agreeing on an aluminum hosel.

Community opinion on the Oslo 3 has been mixed. It's been praised for its premium finish, presentation, and milling detail, along with easy alignment, but criticised for a louder, firmer feel off the face than golfers expected, and for being the heaviest putter in the PLD range, something reviewers said takes getting used to; distance control, particularly from mid to long range, was flagged as a struggle. golfalot.com's own review put it plainly: "I struggled a little bit with the performance because it was just so different to what I am used to, but if you're somebody who enjoys a big, high-MOI mallet like this then it could be worth a try."
