Subsequent Tuesday, PING is releasing their second limited-edition PLD putter to commemorate their 1988 “PING Slam.” IF you missed the primary launch and are unfamiliar with the PING Slam, let me get you up to the mark.
In 1988, all PING putters gained all 4 males’s main championships. This had by no means occurred earlier than and has not occurred since. I nonetheless discover this tough to consider but it surely’s true. The one firm to finish this feat is PING.
The primary putter within the limited-edition PLD line was Sandy Lyle’s Pal that he used to win the 1988 Masters. The subsequent putter within the queue corresponds with our subsequent main, the 2023 PGA Championship.

Sure, it’s one other victorious Pal. This time, we’re an up to date model of Jeff Sluman’s PGA Championship-winning Pal 2.
In case you are questioning about how a Pal compares to a Pal 2, take into consideration the Anser versus Anser 2. Just like the Anser 2, the Pal 2 is longer and thinner than the Pal. The opposite seen design distinction is the Pal’s plumber’s neck being changed with a brief circulation neck within the Pal 2.
Just like the earlier limited-edition putter, this Pal 2 is a modern interpretation of the classic tournament-winning design.
“Having been so concerned with Karsten in designing and bringing all 4 of these fashions to golfers, it was numerous enjoyable for me to return and work with our staff to develop the totally machined variations of the enduring designs,”

Solely 88 are being made so they’re costly. The MSRP is $990 (restrict one per family). There’s a little bit of a twist on the queue this time because the ready room will open at 1:55 p.m. EST. These within the ready room will get a random place in line for buy. Perhaps that can drive off among the bots and flippers.
In order for you a decrease stress choice, do not forget that PING will probably be providing all 4 putters as a set on Dec. 5. The 35 “Ping Slam” units will price $4,990.
Earlier than I allow you to go, I need to share a ICYMI second relating to the primary PLD PING Slam restricted putter. Sandy Lyle used his Masters win commemorating PLD restricted Pal to make his final putt this yr at his final Masters. It’s a pleasant reminder that these putters are extra than simply collectors’ gadgets.
