UG-LE

Summary:
Didn't like the shape. Didn't like the sound. Didn't like the length (36").

But, the distance control was about the best, and I made lots of putts. The alignment aids are a no-brainer.

I should have taken an ugly gal to the prom, the performance there may have been surprising too.

Customer Service:

Ping G5i UG-LE

Summary:
This putter is simply outstanding. As a mallet-style putter it has good wide balance and weight distribution without feeling too wide and unwieldy. The face is soft but not mushy. And, since it is a mid-shaft putter, alignment is easy and putts roll true to your line. This putter improved my game by just being in my hands.

Model Reviewed:
PING UG-LE

Summary:
I have recently changed to this putter from the Titleist Laguna 2. I find this putter improves the ability to set the clubface along the target line and the extra weight helps maintain a pendulum action in my putting stroke. My putting has improved particularly in the 4-10 foot range which is very important.
I am still getting used to finding the range with 30 foot+ putts but expect that as I get more used to it that this will come. Overall it is the best putter I have ever used.

Reviewed by: Gary Lewis ,  Shoots in the 80s

Model Reviewed:
Ug-Le

Summary:
I wanted to try a center shafted putter for the first time and decided on the Ping Ug-le, pretty much on a whim. The putter I used before the Ug-le was an Odyssey Two Ball white steel, heel shaft, and I had pretty good results with that putter. Also have used the Bobby Grace M5K putter, heel shaft, with good results I found that with the Ug-le I never felt confident with the alignment, probably because of not being able to get used to the shaft very near the target line. Also struggled with distance control on long putts, tended to hit them well by the hole, and also missed a lot of short putts to the right of the hole with this putter. Also, to me, the contact felt a little less solid with this putter than with other putters I have used. After using it for about 3 months I decided that the center shaft putter is not for me, so am going back to a heel shafted putter that is face balanced, such as the Odyssey two ball putter. This putter might work very well for someone who likes a center ahaft putter. I should have tested the putter more thoroughly before buying. A friend of mine also uses the Ug-le putter and his results have been somewhat better than mine.
