Through work with Tour pros and a deep dive into eye-tracking techniques, Ping Putting Lab developers have determined that quiet eyes promote a more stable putting stroke.

That’s what the new Scottsdale TEC (Tour Elevated Concepts) putter series is all about. Its new Eye-Q alignment sys- tem features a single dot placed ahead of a line on the crown that leads to the sweet spot of the new putters (Ally Blue, Ketsch, Hayden).

By focusing your eyes on the dot at address — PING refers to this as a “discrete anchor” — your stroke will be more relaxed and steady through the strike. A stable stroke equals more putts that go in. That’s intelligence we can all get behind.
