Mallet or Blade? We analyzed ~20,000 rounds in Stack Putting. Golfers complete simulated 18-hole rounds (4–30 ft putts) on a practice green. Results, handicap, and putter type are recorded, and strokes gained is calculated vs a chosen handicap. 📊 SG (vs 12 hcp): • Blade: 0.74 • Mallet: 0.59 • Mid-mallet: 0.38 Average handicap was nearly identical across groups. The differences are real—but small relative to player variability. Blades are associated with slightly better results… but this isn’t great science. It’s observational, not causal.

Is there a better Monday Qualifier in the game than @JimmyHardK ?!? Dude just did 40 hours last week in the office and worked a ProdiG Junior Fitting event all day Saturday. Have a week, pro. @PingTour @MinesAthletics @TheStackSystem @MinesGolf

I’m proud to be the 2025 Colorado Open Champion! Winning is hard - and this one is extra special to me being a Colorado kid. Holed-out for eagle from 69 yards on the 4th playoff hole to get the W!

Colorado native Jim Knous soars to victory in Colorado Open with 69-yard hole-out for eagle in playoff; his 62 in regulation was lowest final round by champ in tourney history; Charlie Tucker takes low-am honors. coloradogolf.org/walk-off-wi… @ColoradoOpen @JimmyHardK @CSUMGolf

The playoff at the @ColoradoOpen went four holes and it was between two guys with full time jobs. Non-iced tea Sam Saunders, assistant coach at New Mexico and Jimmy Hard K Knous. Engineer at Ping On the 4th playoff hole @JimmyHardK pitched in for eagle from 60 yards. Pretty awesome.

@JimmyHardK with the walkoff Eagle Dunk on 4th playoff hole to get the W and revenge on the Colorado Open!

Congratulations to Jim Knous on his hole-in-one on the 4th hole at Kinsale Golf & Fitness Club! Knous ended up posting a 4-under 68 in the opening round of @usopengolf Final Qualifying.

How well do Ping's newest drivers stack up against their older models? We put them to the test on the swing robot to find out. Presented by @DICKS.

.@JimmyHardK is even par in six attempts on the 16th hole at the WM Phoenix Open. Hear his thoughts on the environment and learn more about his time as a PING pro and now PING engineer in this week’s podcast episode: bit.ly/3QuzjDU

Yikes. Shot -6 today, got beat by 2 of these players. And had a flat tire this morning. What a weird day. How about a spot in the field @PGATOUR?! 🤣

.@PingTour staffers won't have to sweat crunching carry numbers at Castle Pines. Spoke to @jertybird to get the scoop on how the personalized cheat sheets became a reality. golf.com/gear/ping-staffers-…

Remember how @JimmyHardK walked away from the pga tour and took a full-time job with Ping. Well he took the week off to play in the Colorado Open….and yesterday fired a 61 (!!). He’s now 3 back of Davis Bryant who leads. Jake Staiano, Bryan Bigley, and Luke Guthrie all in contention. 100K to the winner.

Had a low one today - 61! Always fun taking it super low 😎

Not my best golf today 🤷‍♂️ back to work!

Two great days here prepping for 36 hole @usopengolf qualifier tomorrow. First tee @ 7:36am — let’s have a day!

Landing in Dallas… 36 hole US Open Qualifier on Monday!
