At 350 grams, the Nome TR was scheduled to reach stores in mid-May. Its face has True Roll grooves milled across the full surface, rather than a separate TR insert.
The available search results provide no reliable independent confirmation of the Nome TR's subsequent production, current status or official updates.
How the Nome TR differs from the original
Ping's True Roll design uses grooves that vary in depth. They are deeper in the center of the face and shallower toward the heel and toe. The design aims to help golfers produce more consistent putt speed on strikes away from the sweet spot. Lee Westwood and Angel Cabrera had switched to TR putters that year.
The original Nome was silver and milled from aluminum. Its sole carried 82 grams of weight to increase moment of inertia. Hunter Mahan used that model to win the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship the previous year.
The new Nome TR is black, with a white-and-black alignment system. Available product details do not establish whether it retains the original model's sole weighting.
Price and fitting options
Ping offered three shaft-bend configurations. One is labeled "Straight." Another is "Slight Arc." The third carries the "Strong Arc" label, with each configuration intended to accommodate a different stroke type.
The available research does not independently confirm the Nome TR's listed head weight, shaft-bend options, price, body material or sole-weighting design. A detailed result concerning other putter models cannot verify specifications for the Nome TR.
The listed starting price is $305, rising to $340 with an adjustable-length shaft. The available research did not independently verify those prices.
