List【Nov 2026 Update】Putter head weight listThe lightest is the ANSER at 345 g; the heaviest are the OSLO 3 and OSLO 4 (PLD) at 375 g. That's a 30 g gap

Putter head weight can differ by as much as 30 g from one model to the next. I read the product pages for PING's 3 current putter series, all 28 models, and sorted them from lightest to heaviest.
The lightest are the ANSER and ANSER 4 at 345 g. The heaviest are the PLD OSLO 3 and OSLO 4 at 375 g. The median is 365 g. Whether you're buying a head only or replacing the putter you have, this list shows where each one sits.
The putter I use, and what I compared on a practice green: I've played a PING SCOTTSDALE ANSER (34 inches) for 3 rounds a month since September 2025. The shop lists its head weight at about 350 g. At the shop I watched a test with 5 g of lead added to the head, and was told it makes a 6-meter putt less likely to come up short.
- On the shop's practice green I hit the 345 g ANSER against the 375 g OSLO 3. From 6 meters, the lighter one ran past the hole 2 times and the heavier one came up short 1 time.
- When I asked a shop about swapping only the head, I was quoted about ¥5,000 for labor.
- My stroke is the arcing type. I once picked a mallet, felt the head was too big, and went back to a blade.
- A heavy head takes some getting used to before you have distance control. I think it's a harder fit for anyone who tends to run short putts past the hole.
The Gear Nerd's Pick
For a lighter 345–350 g head, the ANSER family; for a heavier 365–375 g head, the OSLO and CRAZ-E family. Shape roughly decides weight. The 9 blade-style ANSER-family models were 345–365 g, and the 5 OSLO and CRAZ-E family models were 365–375 g.
First find out the head weight of your current putter, then choose from the same spot on this list. That's the order that keeps you from getting head weight wrong.

Bottom line
Head weights across PING's 3 current series, all 28 models, run 345–375 g. The gap between heaviest and lightest is 375 − 345 = 30 g (about 8.7% of 345 g). The median is 365 g, and 365 g and 370 g were the most common weights at 7 models each.
If you're buying a head only, settle shaft length along with weight. Standard is 34 inches, and it can be customized from 31 to 36 inches (36–45 inches for the CRAZ-E CB).
All 28 PING models, sorted by weight
| Head weight | Models | Models (SC = SCOTTSDALE, TEC = SCOTTSDALE TEC, PLD = PLD MILLED) |
|---|---|---|
| 345g | 2 | ANSER (SC), ANSER 4 (SC) |
| 350g | 4 | B63 (SC), KETSCH ONSET (TEC), ANSER (PLD), ANSER 2 (PLD) |
| 355g | 2 | ANSER 30 (PLD), KUSHIN (PLD) |
| 360g | 4 | ANSER 2D (SC), DS72 (SC), PRIME TYNE C (SC), HAYDEN (TEC) |
| 365g | 7 | PRIME TYNE 4 (SC), OSLO 3 (SC), KETSCH 4 (TEC), ANSER 2D (PLD), ANSER 4D (PLD), ANSER D (PLD), DS 72 (PLD) |
| 370g | 7 | CRAZ-E (SC), CRAZ-E CB (SC), ALLY BLUE H (TEC), ALLY BLUE H CB (TEC), ALLY BLUE ONSET (TEC), ALLY BLUE ONSET CB (TEC), ALLY BLUE 4 (PLD) |
| 375g | 2 | OSLO 3 (PLD), OSLO 4 (PLD) |
How to read it: 365 g and 370 g have 7 models each, so half of the lineup (14 models) sits here. Only 2 models are 345 g (the SC ANSER and ANSER 4), and only 2 are 375 g (the PLD OSLO 3 and OSLO 4).
How does weight differ by shape? ANSER family vs. OSLO and CRAZ-E family
| Shape family | Models | Head weight range |
|---|---|---|
| ANSER family (ANSER, ANSER 2, ANSER 4 and others) | 9 | 345–365g |
| OSLO and CRAZ-E family | 5 | 365–375g |
The ANSER family holds the low end at 345 g, and the OSLO and CRAZ-E family holds the high end at 375 g. The spread is 20 g for the ANSER family (365 − 345) and 10 g for OSLO and CRAZ-E (375 − 365). But 365 g shows up in both, so weight alone can't tell you the shape.
Even within the ANSER family, the 3 SCOTTSDALE models are 345–360 g and the 6 PLD MILLED models are 350–365 g. The PLD, with its different material and construction, sits on the heavier side.
How I judged it
A 30 g spread in head weight is not small. Still, this list alone can't tell you how many grams suit you, because a putter also changes with length, lie angle and the player's stroke. So I think about it in these 3 steps.
- Find out the head weight of your current putter (the manual or the product page)
- On this list, pick models that sit near the same weight
- Only when you're switching, decide whether to move heavier or lighter
The third step, which way to move, can't be decided without hitting them side by side in a shop. The numbers alone don't show that heavier is better, so I won't claim it here.
What to decide when buying a head only
If you're buying a head only, there are 3 things to decide besides weight.
- Shaft length: PING's standard is 34 inches. The product pages say it can be customized from 31 to 36 inches
- Loft and lie angle: standard across the 3 series is 3 degrees of loft and a 70-degree lie angle
- Grip: the thickness and shape of the putter grip are chosen separately. The grips for short putts article sorts them out
How to think about buying a wedge head only (subtracting to get head weight from the finished club's numbers) is in the wedge head-only article.
What I like
PING lists the head weight of every model on its product pages, down to 1 g. For anyone who wants to compare putter weights on their own, that's the most welcome part. They're posted across 3 series of 10–11 models each, so re-sorting them was all it took to build this list.
What to watch for
This list covers PING putters only. Other makers' head weights aren't in it. The table on the SCOTTSDALE TEC page is out of alignment, so I used only the pairs of model name and head weight. For standard loft and lie, I wrote the values shared by the 3 series as they are.
Who is it for?
Great for you if you
- If you know your current putter's weight and want a PING close to it, start from the same spot on this list
- If you want a lighter head, the 345–350 g ANSER, ANSER 4, B63, ANSER 2 and others
- If you want a heavier head, the 370–375 g OSLO, CRAZ-E and ALLY BLUE models

Price and where to buy
Prices change by store and season, so I don't put them in the text. See the buy box above for current stores and prices. Specs such as length and whether a headcover is included differ by store, so check the product page before you choose.

How I made this article
I read the 3 PING Golf Japan product pages, re-sorted the head weights of all 28 models, and worked out the count at each weight and the range for each shape family myself. The weights are the maker's published figures. My own ANSER and the comparison on the practice green are kept apart in the box at the top.
