Shea (2023)

The 2023 Shea is a mid-mallet, according to golfsupport.com, built around a shallow, milled face and tungsten weights set either side of that face. Golfsupport.com describes the weighting as a deliberate part of the forgiveness story, and pairs it with a finish that sets platinum toplines against a black back cavity, presumably to help with alignment as much as looks. Head weight is listed at 360 g, with stock lengths running 33 inches to 36 inches, per that same source.

Ping's own page for the putter doesn't dwell on the head so much as the grip and setup. The maker's copy describes a "straight-taper, midsized pistol with larger flat surfaces for increased face awareness," and goes on to note that the 17" grip is "heavier than a standard grip to act as a counterweight for more stability and control throughout the stroke, and has a tacky feel." That's a different emphasis than golfsupport.com's read on the head, and worth holding separately rather than blending into one description.

On feel, golfsupport.com calls out a firmer feel than the average putter, alongside acoustics it describes as solid and clicking. Community opinion, also sourced to golfsupport.com, leans positive: forgiveness came up repeatedly, with one comment crediting the "shape of the body and the tungsten weights placed either side of the face" for keeping mis-hits on line. The same source suggests the Shea may suit golfers with a slight arc to their stroke, which is worth weighing against your own stroke type rather than taking as a fit for everyone.
