Can someone tell me the difference in the "straight" version and the "slight arc" version of the Ping Kushin putter? I have seen pictures of some that looked to have a massive bend in the shaft that looked close to 75° and it looked extremely strange. Does anyone have full pictures of these putters? Thanks

Slight arc has a little toe hang. The straight and slight are very close and most golfers won't notice a big difference between the two. Straight would be for players that are trying to not have a lot of clubhead arc or face rotation to their strokes.

If you're not sure, get the PING app, get fit or just go with the slight arc. At the end of the day it won't make a huge difference. Much more important to find a putter head style and line configuration you aim well with and a weight that you like.

Thanks for the response. And that helps. I'm going to attach a picture of one I saw. Does it not seem like the shaft is at an odd angle? Looks like the grip would be hitting my knee caps. Is this how that putter is?

It could just be the angle of the picture. Looks like the toe is pointed up a little and that might be why the shaft looks so shallow. Just looks strange.

I agree that it's probably the angle of the picture.  I have a Ping Ketsch which I believe was also made in straight and slight-arc versions.  I can't imagine the shaft being drastically angled just to give it more toe hang.  The slight arc version will want to open and close more during the stroke.  mvmac's advice on fitting/testing is probably all you need if you don't know what your stroke is like.

Yes it's more of the angle of the picture. And what you are questioning would be more of the lie angle (looking super flat to you) than the straight, slight arc bend profiles.

      Day 55 10-8 Same thing today. Letting chest feel like its turning hips in backswing and arms are not over-running turn. Added in some flow drill to start trying to tie it all together.

      Day 38: played 18 at Erin Hills. Decent 81 that should have been better. Pretty pleased still though.

      Day 36 (8 Oct 25) - weekly nine hole round with my friends.  Played decent - still adjusting to the difference in distance with the reworked irons.  Had a few out of position moments where instead of the hero shot, made the smart play to get back in play (I’m getting there on course management) Overall it was a par/bogie day. Bogie won - 5 to 4.

      If you have only ten minutes to practice, make them ten good minutes. Day 34 (October 8).  After work and before evening plans, I had ten minutes in my golf room.  I hit 8 balls, which means I was probably going faster than I should have, but I really did rehearse and focus on the feel I was looking for.

      51-38 Have You?

      By BirdsAndEagles · Posted

      Managed 51/41 this weekend.  Justin Thomas went 78 / 62 from round 1 to round 2. He has access to the best coaches, best technology, best gear, and plays probably every day (or close to it)... if he can have a 16 shot swing from one round to the next, who are we to expect consistency when going out 2x a week is an accomplishment (at least for me with 2 kids it is!).
