I was playing around with a Ping Karsten Craz-E putter today at Golf Galaxy. I always hit different putters when I'm there, but I'd never touched that one before...

Safe to say, it was love at first site. Ravishing, immediate love. In fact, I liked it so much I distrusted my reaction and walked out before I bought it its very reasonable price (119 bucks).


My question is: Does anybody else play a Karsten Craz-E, In Craz-E or Wack-E or Craz-D from Ping? If so, how do you like it? Advantages? Drawbacks?


Even though I'm in love, I'm trying not to go head-long into something and end up with a child out of wedlock...err...purchase I regret.

I played a Craz-E heel shafted putter. Very good. Just turned out I became a Scotty follower.

Best way to judge a putter. Is alignment natural for you, second intuitive. Second can you control the speed-as in the ladder drill. If both are good then bag the putter.

I have used the Karsten for about 2 years and love it... I have the Craz-E putter in all the models and I just purchased the IN series one and use that one on faster greens. For mid to slower greens I use my Karsten and love it.

I love the Craz-e. It is the one club in my bag that has never let me down. I don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon.

I played a Craz-e for 2 years. I had a really hard time judging distances and I found the inert a bit too soft for my liking. But I loved how it felt at set up and how good it felt swinging. Other than the distance drawback I loved it and still do. I am thinking about picking up the scotty kombi as the shape and how it sits are extremely similar to the Ping.

I played the Craze-E for about 6 months, I loved it at first then found I had trouble with distance control. It is now in my son's bag at he is doing very well with it. I've returned to using my old off brand blade.

I bought one about 3 years ago from someone at work and gave $50 for it and it was like new...I LOOOVED it, but ended up going back to my Mizuno, and ended up selling it to a friend....I regret selling that putter everyday! It's a GREAT putter and it was perfectly balanced. I would love to have it back, but he is not wanting to sell it back to me.

I ended up buying it. I'll update next week once I get it on the course a few times.

When I read the bit I have highlighted in bold first I was sure it said I distrusted my erection!

But then who knows maybe you were close to one of those too!

Mentally...sure.

I went back and bought it...and it passes the living room test with flying colors. Not sure if it'll pass the wife test, though.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
