Redwood D66 Putter

The Ping Redwood D66 is one head within the Redwood line, the series our own 2006 review covered when Ping first brought its putters into 100% milled steel. That review concentrated on the Anser head, but it establishes the context this D66 shipped into: a line built around three heads, with Ping stepping onto ground that other manufacturers had already staked out with the CNC machine. Our writer called the milling on the line "fine, yet pronounced" and noted a preference for the mill marks staying on the sole rather than climbing the neck, a craftsmanship note that applies to the Redwood series as a whole rather than to this head specifically.

On the D66 itself, golfavenue.com lists it as part of the Redwood Series, made of 303 stainless steel with a face of the same material, finished in Black Nickel or Black Satin, and described as 100% milled. That same source frames the series as a tribute to Redwood City, California, home of the original Ping putter, language that echoes the origin story our own review told about Karsten Solheim's Anser. golfavenue.com also lists the D66 as currently out of stock.

Against the rest of the Redwood line, the D66 sits as one of the milled heads golfavenue.com catalogs within that series, alongside the finish and material specifics that outlet reports. Our own hands-on testing focused on the Anser head rather than the D66, so what we hold on this specific putter comes from that retailer's listing rather than from a Putter Talk review.
