    Anyone here tried these out?

    What did you think? As far as i can see they come with a midsize grip as standard

    I've used a 32 inch putter for last few years but always have to buy a standard length and get it cut down. These would solve me having to do this as they range from 31" to 38"

    The club regulations require them to have the thicker grip.

    They are an excellent putter.

    I have the Ping Scottsdale TR Anser 2. I really can't fault it as a putter. I tried a different premium brand putter for about 2 months, but have gone back to the ping again. It has tour credentials as well if you're unsure. Richard Green, Angel Cabrera and Hunter Mahan all use a variation of TR range.

    I did quite a bit of messing about. It didn't have any negative impact on the mechanism for adjusting the putter. Follow the instructions though!

    Can you adjust the head weight on it to keep the swing-weight consistent?

    No i think swing weight stays the same from what i'm reading online as you never add or remove weight from the putter. So at 31" or 38" the weight is the same according to Ping

    Adjusting the length alone will also change the swing weight, the balance point will shift. Was just curious if there were head weights for the club or not. Thanks

    I have one, I wouldn't recommend setting them to the extremes of 31" or 38" or the swing weight will be way out as above. Minor adjustments between 33" to 36" depending on your height and posture are fine.

    I have mine currently set to ~33.5 inches. Perfect for me at 5 foot 8 tall. Just one word of caution, you can only change the grip with the same one from Ping. Due to the adjustment collar, changing the grip to anything else will make it non-conforming. I don't understand why, I just know that it does.

    I read an article earlier that said Super Stroke grips are now ok also but no other grips

    That's just my recommendation. If you like a heavy head in a short putter you may like it. Good thing is you can walk into the shop and ask the sales rep to set it up for you and try it.
