2023 Prime Tyne 4

The 2023 Prime Tyne 4 is a mallet head within Ping's Prime Tyne family, built around a more traditional hosel and a slightly more compact head shape than the Prime Tyne C, according to 2ndswing.com's listing. Ping's own recommendation covers all handicaps, and the maker's page describes the stroke fit as a strong arc design, a pairing that shows up again in the community's read of the putter: tgw.com called it ideal for golfers who want maximum forgiveness and stability with a mallet but need more toe hang for a strong arc stroke, and golfsupport.com echoed the fit for a strong arc putting stroke.

On construction, tgw.com's reporting describes a 304 stainless steel body with a shallow milled face, while golfsupport.com's own description lands on similar ground, a premium 304 stainless steel body paired with a shallow milled face, though golfsupport.com adds that the face plays firmer than previous models, a note worth weighing against tgw.com's more neutral "shallow milled face" language. Finish reporting varies by outlet too: tgw.com describes a platinum topline and black cavity, while golfsupport.com calls the scheme matt black and platinum silver, two descriptions of what appears to be the same visual idea. tgw.com's listing also notes a PING PP58 Midsize grip and moderate toe hang, with a headcover included, while golfsupport.com references Ping's 558 Standard size grip, a discrepancy in grip sizing between the two sources.

Ping's site lists the 2023 Tyne 4 as having limited availability, per its own page. On looks, golfsupport.com was unreserved: "The look is sublime, every detail is carefully chosen to give a stand-out putter in both looks and performance." Set against the rest of the Prime Tyne line, the 4 reads as the more compact, more traditional-hosel option, built for a strong arc stroke rather than a straight-back-straight-through one.
