PING is bringing the PLD putter line to retail.The new retail PLD line features two mallets and two blades.The PLD retail putters arrive in shops March 31 with a MSRP of $485.PING is also launching a new PLD Custom program and PLD Limited putter releases.

2022 PING PLD Putters

The new 2022 PING PLD (Putting Lab Design) putter program takes PING in quite a few new directions this month. First, there will be a retail PLD putter line. This is a first, as all other PLD offerings were limited runs featuring unique heads and experimental finishes. It’s nice to see PING making milled putters for retail again. The 2018 Vault 2.0 line was PING’s last retail milled putter offering.

This new PING PLD retail line consists of four models representing classic designs and modern favorites. The putters are fully milled from 303 stainless steel and all feature faces with PING’s new Aggressive Milling Pattern, AMP for short.

Normally, PING returning to the milled marketplace would be enough to warrant exploration and discussion. The thing is, PING is bringing even more PLD heat this month. Being able to finally snag a PLD putter at your retail shop is an exciting development but there are two other PLD stories that may prove even more exciting.

Before we get to that, though, let’s dive deeper into the retail PING PLD putter line.

Callaway once called their Chrome Soft “the ball that changed the ball.” 2019’s robot ball tests certainly changed the way we think about golf balls. It’s a large part of why we decided to build the MyGolfSpy Ball Lab. In the seasons since, it’s unquestionable that Callaway has upped their game. Their family of balls are now certainly worth trying to see if they work for you. Which is the best Callaway golf ball though? While that will vary from golfer to golfer, this list will take a look.

Best Callaway Ball Overall: Callaway Chrome Soft X

This might be considered a break from the mold for usual best overall selections. Instead of the original, for Callaway there’s a solid argument that the best overall is their X version. The big reason for this is spin. The X has the highest spin numbers of Callaway’s tour offerings. Too much spin might be bad, but it can be very important for short game and ball testing really should be done from the green out. It’s good enough for Jon Rahm as well, so that makes the Chrome Soft X the best Callaway golf ball overall.

Best Ball for Softer Feel: Callaway Chrome Soft

There is certainly a subset of golfers who want to play a tour-caliber ball, but find most to be too firm to their liking, especially off the putter. For those folks, the Chrome Soft is the softest urethane cover ball made by any of the major players. While softer compression may reduce ball speeds a bit off the driver, lower spin can help make up for that. In fact, the Chrome Soft was the longest Callaway ball in high driver speed robot testing. For a premium ball, but a softer feel, the Chrome Soft is the best Callaway golf ball.

Spornia SPG-8 XL Golf Net – Key Takeaways

New eight-foot by eight-foot golf hitting netNew upgraded premium material for simulation (frame, netting, etc.)Retail price: $499.99

The Spornia net needs no introduction after winning last year’s Hitting Net test at MyGolfSpy. However, they have just gone bigger.

Times have been tough for the past two years. We have all struggled to remain sane with all the restrictions but things appear to be looking up. For the golfing population, I would bet my pair of NIKE Air Infinity Tour (actually you can have them) that 75 percent of golfers purchased or tried to purchase a golf hitting net in those two years.

Why Go Bigger?

In most instances, size isn’t everything. However, in golf hitting nets, bigger is always better .

The Spornia SPG-8 comes in at a large 8 feet x 8 feet to catch all those stray shanks. For those who tend to sky their shots, the SPG-8 has a roof portion that is angled down to catch them. Great for saving your walls and keeping your partner happy.

One of the main features I like about the Spornia collection is how easy it is to set up. Its automatic opening system springs to life the minute you let go. From there, you add a couple of support poles to keep the net upright and you’re good to go within seconds.

Jin Young Ko, making her season debut after a three-month break, shot a 6-under 66 to win the LPGA Tour's HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore by two strokes.

No motive here, just me catching up on my queue and sharing some recent golf pods of note.

I think there’s something for everyone on this list. Enjoy all…it’s all free, including this edition of The Quad!
