The feel off the milled face is incredible - firm but not clicky. The alignment line really helps me square up. Ball speed is very consistent even on off-center hits. Worth every penny.","date":"2023-09-12","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_081","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"WeekendWarrior18","rating":5,"text":"Got fitted into this putter at my local Ping fitting center. The DS72 suited my straight-back-straight-through stroke perfectly. The face balanced design keeps the face square through the stroke. I've dropped 3 putts per round on average since switching. The weight feels perfect at 365g.","date":"2023-11-04","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_081","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"ScratchGolfer_Mike","rating":4,"text":"The feel and roll are exceptional. My only complaint is I wish the alignment line was a bit more prominent. On bright sunny days it can be hard to see. The black and platinum color blocking looks amazing though. Construction quality is top notch - this thing is built like a tank.","date":"2024-01-15","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_081","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"BogeyFree_Bob","rating":5,"text":"The shallow milled face on this putter gives you the best distance control I've ever experienced. Whether it's a 5-footer or a 40-foot lag putt, the ball comes off the face at a consistent speed. The sound is also very satisfying - a soft but solid click. Highly recommend for anyone with a straight stroke.","date":"2023-08-20","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_081","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"GearJunkie_Golf","rating":2,"text":"The putter performs great but the black finish on the cavity started showing wear after just 2 months of regular play. For $280 I expected better durability. The platinum topline is fine but the black portion chips easily. Disappointed in the cosmetics.","date":"2023-12-22","sentiment":"negative"},{"productId":"prod_081","source":"Reddit r/golf","sourceUrl":"","author":"u/PuttingMachine_","rating":4,"text":"Was fondling some putters at Galaxy today. Tried the PLD DS72 mid mallet. It's a lot like my current Ping Darby, but significantly heavier. I really liked it. However, I kind of like the non PLD version of the DS72 better. I like the way the black flange with steel top line frames the ball.","date":"2023-06-18","sentiment":"negative"},{"productId":"prod_081","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"FirstTimeBuyer","rating":3,"text":"I bought this without getting fitted and it doesn't suit my stroke at all. I have a strong arc and this face-balanced putter fights me on every stroke. The quality is undeniable but please get fitted before buying. Returning and looking at the Anser instead.","date":"2024-03-01","sentiment":"neutral"},{"productId":"prod_081","source":"Dick's Sporting Goods","sourceUrl":"","author":"BargainHunter","rating":3,"text":"It's a nice putter. Well made, feels good. But $280 for a non-PLD, non-fully-milled putter seems steep when you can get an Odyssey or Cleveland for $150-200 that perform similarly. The Ping tax is real.","date":"2024-05-20","sentiment":"neutral"}],"total":8}
