Ping PLD Milled AS Oslo C Putter

High MOI Putter

The PLD Milled AS Oslo C is Ping's fang-style mallet built for golfers who want maximum stability without switching to an oversized blob of a putter head. Oslo has been in Ping's lineup for years as a compact mallet with rear wings, and the PLD Milled treatment takes that shape and cuts it from a solid block of stainless steel. This is the milled, premium version, not the cast production model, so the feel off the face and the finish quality are a step up.

It's face balanced, which tells you most of what you need to know about the intended stroke. If your putter face stays square through the ball with very little arc, this head will feel natural in your hands. The high MOI build keeps the face from twisting when you catch a putt off the toe or heel, so mishit speed control holds up better than it would on a smaller blade.

The alignment aid is the other half of the pitch. Oslo's shape already frames the ball with its wings, and the sightline gives you a clear reference to square the face at address. Put together, you get a putter that helps you aim and then protects you when your stroke isn't perfect.

Design

The head is milled from stainless steel, which gives the Oslo C a firmer, more precise sound and feel than a soft insert putter. Ping typically pairs its PLD Milled heads with an aluminum face milling pattern or a machined face texture to keep the roll consistent, and the fang layout pushes weight to the perimeter and back to raise MOI. The rear wings do the heavy lifting on forgiveness, while the compact front keeps the profile from feeling bulky over the ball. Face balancing comes from where the mass sits relative to the shaft axis, so the face wants to stay square rather than open and close through the stroke. The alignment feature runs along the top of the head to help you set the face at your target line. As a milled PLD product, it also carries the premium finish and grip options Ping offers on this tier, so the whole package looks and feels like a tour-shop putter rather than an off-the-rack one.

Who It's For

• You have a straight-back, straight-through stroke with little to no face rotation and want a putter that matches it.
• You miss enough putts off the center of the face that forgiveness matters more to you than a traditional blade look.
• You aim better with a defined sightline and a head shape that frames the ball at address.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Ping PLD Milled Oslo C face balanced or toe hang?

It's face balanced. The face stays square through impact instead of opening and closing, which suits a straight stroke with minimal arc. If you have a strong arc to your stroke, a toe-hang putter will usually feel more natural.

What's the difference between the PLD Milled Oslo and the standard Ping Oslo?

The PLD Milled version is cut from a solid block of stainless steel rather than cast, so the feel, sound, and finish are more refined. It's Ping's premium tier, priced above the standard production Oslo, and it comes with the upgraded grip and finish options from the PLD lineup.

Is the Oslo C good for high handicappers?

Yes, if you struggle with consistent contact. The high MOI and rear-weighted fang shape keep the face stable on off-center hits, so your distance control holds up on mishits. The alignment aid also helps if aiming is part of your problem.

What kind of stroke works best with a high MOI mallet like this?

A straight or slightly straight stroke. Face-balanced high MOI mallets resist face rotation, so golfers who take the putter straight back and through get the most out of them. Players with a heavy arc tend to fight that stability.

Does the PLD Milled Oslo C have an alignment line?

Yes. It has an alignment aid on the top of the head to help you square the face to your target, and the fang wings add a second visual reference to frame the ball at address.
