The PING 2023 DS72 Armlock is a putter launched around 2023. Key listed specs include 6° loft, 41.5 in length, 365 g head. Putter loft is high versus the comparison set. More static loft can help get the ball out of a small depression, but too much delivered loft can launch it excessively.

PING 2023 DS72 Armlock FAQ
Does the PING 2023 DS72 Armlock have a heavy or light head feel?+
The representative listed head weight is 365 g, which sits around the 80th percentile among PING putters with this field available. The head is heavier than most comparable PING putters here, giving it a more substantial feel through the stroke.
What putting stroke is the PING 2023 DS72 Armlock aimed at?+
PING lists the stroke fit as Slight Arc; Straight. Treat that as a starting point, not a rule. Aim, face rotation, impact pattern and visual preference still decide whether the putter actually fits you.
Is the PING 2023 DS72 Armlock putter unusually long or short?+
The representative listed length is 41.5 in, which sits around the 99th percentile among PING putters with this field available. The listed putter length is long versus the PING dataset. Putter length changes posture, eye position and arc, so the right length is a fit issue rather than a simple performance upgrade.
Should I choose the PING 2023 DS72 Armlock based on head weight?+
Not by itself. Head weight changes feel and tempo, but total weight, shaft, grip, balance, green speed and your stroke all interact. Use head weight as one fitting input, not the final answer.
How old is the PING 2023 DS72 Armlock?+
The audited record places its launch around 2023. That makes it roughly 3 years old in 2026. Condition, shaft integrity and whether the club was altered since new can matter as much as the original spec sheet on an older club.
What shaft was listed for the PING 2023 DS72 Armlock?+
The researched record lists Chrome armlock, double bend. That does not prove every surviving club has that shaft: custom orders and later reshafts are common, so check the actual shaft label before buying used.
What grip was listed for the PING 2023 DS72 Armlock?+
The researched record lists 21 in AVS Black. On a used club, the fitted grip may have been replaced many times, so treat this as original-spec context rather than a guarantee of what is on the club today.
