Heppler Tyne

The Tyne is a mallet within Ping's Heppler line, and the record we hold on it is thin but pointed. Pluggedingolf.com listed the Tyne as a "new favorite" in its coverage, and singled it out as a design worth watching within the Heppler family, describing it as a "new favorite mallet."

On color, pluggedingolf.com noted a scheme with copper largely on the outer edges, a detail that speaks to how the head is finished rather than how it's shaped or milled. We don't have independent confirmation of that finish beyond the one outlet's report, so it's worth holding as one publication's observation rather than a settled spec.

The maker's own pages, covering the Tyne 4, Tyne G, and Tyne H variants, don't describe the head shape itself in the excerpts we hold. What they do describe, identically across all three versions, is the grip package: a straight-taper, midsized pistol grip with a rubber under-listing and larger flat surfaces "for increased face awareness," built at 17 inches and made heavier than standard to act as a counterweight, with a tacky feel and "designated markings" meant to help golfers set up consistently over the ball. That's the same grip language Ping runs across the Tyne 4, G, and H, which suggests the differentiation between those three sits elsewhere, in the head itself, rather than in what the maker chose to say about the grip.
