THE DEEP DIVE: For several years, Ping has made its PLD (which stands for Putting Lab Design) putters available to its tour staff, with players such as Viktor Hovland, Joaquin Niemann, Bubba Watson and Tony Finau putting the highly customized putters in play.

They are milled from forged 303 stainless steel billets. The putters feature Deep AMP (Aggressive Milling Pattern) faces and designs tuned for speed, looks, sound and feel. PING says each head takes four hours on the mill to complete. Remember that stat when you wonder why they are so expensive (MSRP $485).

The four types of ping methods that Tenable products use are ARP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP. The first three are enabled by default in our scan policies. They run in the following descending order in our scans. Scans only use the first successful ping method in the hierarchy.

A Milling Thing: Like the original PLD Milled (PLD stands for Putting Lab Design), these new models are developed through a milling process that takes four hours to complete each head.

A good ping speed typically ranges between 10-20ms for professional gamers. Although a perfectly average ping for gaming is around 20-50ms. It's important to consider that the lower your ping, the faster your connection and the more competitively you can play.

A ping rate over 150 milliseconds (ms) will generate noticeable lag, and this will definitely affect gameplay, graphics, and an ability to stream watchable content to Twitch. Anything less than that should be ok. A ping rate under 50 ms is fantastic and is desirable for professional gamers.

Ping PLD Anser 2 Putters The matte-black head is designed to contrast against the short, single white alignment line to eliminate distractions and make it easier to aim. It differs from the classic Anser as it has a longer, slimmer profile which inspires confidence at address.

Ping amounts of 100 ms and below are average for most broadband connections. In gaming, any amounts below a ping of 20 ms are considered exceptional and “low ping,” amounts between 50 ms and 100 ms range from very good to average, while a ping of 150 ms or more is less desirable and deemed “high ping.”

Throughout most of Woods' amateur days as a junior and collegiate golfer, he used a Ping putter. In his younger days - around 1990 and 1991 - Woods used a bronze Ping Anser model.
