Ping PLD Milled AS Oslo CB Putter

High MOI Putter

The PLD Milled AS Oslo CB is Ping's fully milled take on a mid-mallet, cut from a solid block of 6061 aluminum and finished by hand in Ping's custom putter shop. AS stands for Anser-style, and the Oslo has been part of Ping's mallet family for years, but the CB here leans into a wider, more forgiving footprint than a blade. You get the compact look of a heel-toe design with the stability of a bigger head behind it.

This is a putter for golfers who want a straight back, straight through stroke. It's face balanced, so the face wants to stay square through the stroke instead of rotating open and closed. Pair that with the high MOI build and you have a head that fights twisting on off-center hits, which is exactly what a lot of amateurs need on those 6 to 12 footers that catch the toe or heel.

Price puts this in Ping's premium tier, and the milled construction, custom options, and alignment features are where that money goes. It's not a putter you grab off a rack and forget about. It rewards a golfer who knows their stroke and wants a tool built to match it.

Design

The head is milled from a single block of 6061 aluminum, then paired with Ping's Pebax insert or milled face pattern depending on the build, which gives it a soft but responsive feel off the face. Weight is pushed to the perimeter to raise MOI, so mishits hold their line better than they would on a smaller, blade-style head. The face-balanced setup means when you rest the shaft on your finger, the face points straight at the sky, a sign the head resists rotation through impact. Up top you get a clear alignment aid to frame the ball and set your line, a nod to the fact that aim is where most putts go wrong before the stroke even starts. Ping offers this through its PLD custom program, so loft, lie, length, head weight, and finish can be dialed to your setup rather than forcing you into a stock spec.

Who It's For

• You have a straight back, straight through stroke and want a face-balanced head that keeps the face square without you fighting it.
• Your misses tend to catch the heel or toe, and the high MOI build will hold those putts closer to your intended line.
• Aim is a weak spot in your game, so the alignment aid gives you a reference to set your line before you pull the trigger.
• You want a milled putter you can spec to your exact length, loft, and lie through a custom program rather than a stock rack model.
• You like the compact heel-toe look but want more forgiveness than a traditional blade gives you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Ping PLD Milled AS Oslo CB face balanced or does it have toe hang?

It's face balanced. Rest the shaft on your finger and the face points straight up. That makes it best for a straight back, straight through stroke where the face stays square rather than rotating open and closed.

What kind of stroke suits the Oslo CB?

A straighter stroke with minimal arc. Face-balanced, high MOI mallets like this one are built for golfers whose putter head travels close to a straight line. If you have a strong arc where the face opens and closes a lot, a toe-hang putter usually fits better.

Is the AS Oslo CB actually milled or just marketed that way?

It's genuinely milled from a solid block of 6061 aluminum in Ping's PLD custom shop, not cast. That's part of what sets the PLD Milled line apart from Ping's standard putter lineup and part of why it sits at a higher price.

Can I customize the Oslo CB to my specs?

Yes. Through Ping's PLD custom program you can set length, loft, lie, head weight, grip, and finish. That's a big reason to buy one over a stock putter, since a putter that matches your setup helps you start the ball on line more consistently.

Who should skip this putter?

Golfers with a strong-arc stroke that relies on the face rotating through impact, since a face-balanced head works against that motion. Also anyone shopping on a budget, because this is a premium milled putter and you can get solid forgiveness for far less money.
