Wilson’s Buckingham Is Gone … Try The PING Scottsdale Tyne 4 Instead (You Won’t Regret It)

The Wilson Infinite Buckingham is gone again, and it’s OK to cry. After being named our 2025 Mallet of the Year, this thing just cannot stay on shelves. However, I’m here to tell you that there’s a kid on the block that you’ve been ignoring, and you should stop.

Meet the PING Scottsdale Tyne 4, a mallet that finished third in our mallet testing but performs like it belongs in the winner’s circle. With its twin-fork, high-MOI design and precision-milled PEBAX insert, the Tyne 4 offers the same rock-solid stability and buttery feedback that made the Buckingham so beloved, only with an iconic look. In my opinion, this thing looks better than the Buckingham and for those of you more traditional folks out there, the Tyne 4 is for you.

If you missed your shot at the Buckingham, this is your redemption arc. At $259.99, it’s not the cheapest but for a premium-performing and -looking putter, this is a bargain and an easy gamer for anyone who likes a little toe-hang and a lot of confidence.
