PING HOVI PLD Limited Edition Putter

The new PING HOVI PLD putter just released. Will it make you play more like Viktor Hovland? That we can’t guarantee, but it is a good looking putter. Here’s everything you need to know about this limited edition release.

What You Need to Know

PING is releasing 100 “Hovi” Signature PLD Limited models. The putter commemorates Viktor Hovland’s remarkable 2023 season.The putters will be built to Viktor’s exact specifications and will come with a limited-edition Viking-themed head cover.Available Oct. 10 at 2 p.m. EST with a MSRP of $900.

Viktor Hovland

PING thinks their staffer Viktor Hovland had a season worth commemorating with the “Hovi” Signature PLD Limited DS72.

Of all of the things that have been commemorated with putters, making one to celebrate Hovland’s accomplishments this year seems justified.

Hovland’s game got stronger and stronger as the year went on. He played like a giant boulder rolling down a hill. You may not have noticed it moving at first but, by the time it got to the bottom of the hill, there was nothing that was going to stop its momentum.

I truly enjoyed watching Hovland separate himself from the pack in the FedEx Cup playoffs. He was in total command of his game. That run alone would be a reason for celebration. When he chipped in from the green on his first Ryder Cup hole, I knew that the U.S. team was in trouble.

Bushnell Launch Pro Update: Addition by Subtraction

The latest update to the Bushnell Launch Pro is a simple case of addition by subtraction. That is tot say that Bushnell is dropping the price by $1,500 (from $3,499 to $1,999) but the modified configuration is equipped with “ball only” data. More on that in a bit. 

We don’t need to dig up any old Econ 101 notebooks to understand that, for some golfers, a less-expensive entry point is what makes a purchase viable and allows a company in a competitive market to acquire a new customer. 

The salient question becomes, “For $ 1,500 less out of pocket, what exactly am I giving up?”

Let’s explore.

Bushnell Launch Pro: What Stays the Same

Let’s start with the easy stuff. The foundational technology of the new Bushnell Launch Pro configuration is the same model we tested recently and named the “Best Golf Launch Monitor” of 2023. For that matter, the only difference between the Bushnell Launch Pro (in any configuration) and the pricier Foresight GC3 is the payment structure and access to various software packages.

While TaylorMade hasn’t released details or images on the entire lineup, here’s what we already know about the “Speed Craft Collection.”

A Sneak Peek

jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) { var slides = $( '#mgs_gallery_6525442b67c67 .mgs-gallery-images .mgs-gallery-image' ).length; if ( slides 6 ) { slides = 6; } $( '#mgs_gallery_6525442b67c67 .mgs-gallery-images' ).slick( { slidesToShow: 1, slidesToScroll: 1, fade: true, prevArrow: '', nextArrow: '', asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_6525442b67c67 .mgs-gallery-thumbs', swipe: false, mobileFirst: true, } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_6525442b67c67 .mgs-gallery-thumbs' ).slick( { slidesToShow: ( slides - 1 ), //less than number of slides, so it always shows infinite scroll (bugfix) slidesToScroll: 1, arrows: false, asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_6525442b67c67 .mgs-gallery-images', centerMode: true, focusOnSelect: true, infinite: true, mobileFirst: true, responsive: [ { breakpoint: 1023, settings: { slidesToShow: 3, }, }, { breakpoint: 600, settings: { slidesToShow: 1, }, }, ], } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_6525442b67c67' ).magnificPopup( { delegate: '.mgs-gallery-trigger', type: 'image', gallery: { enabled: true, arrowMarkup: '', }, } ); } );

I’m no racing fan so I struggled to see how these two companies are intertwined. You’re probably wondering, too. The answer is carbon. Yes, carbon. Like the award-winning Stealth 2 Plus driver, the Oracle Red Bull RB19 car is of carbon construction.

Just as both companies rely on carbon construction to positively impact performance, they hope this partnership will breed more passion for success.

“As two leading forces in our respective arenas, TaylorMade and Oracle Red Bull Racing share a common passion for pushing boundaries and pursuing excellence.” said David Ables, TaylorMade President and CEO. “Just as Oracle Red Bull Racing develops the ultimate vehicle for their drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, TaylorMade builds technology-driven golf equipment for our tour players and amateurs alike.”
