Hi Linda,
Many putters have a flange on the back that can be used to
strike a ball. I use the back of my Ping Zing 2 and swing left-handed
when I have no right-handed stance. The flange picks the ball up like the
blade of a chipper. I can't believe it is an illegal club as so many have them,
but it sure seems to violate then two-sided chipper rule. What do you think?

Dear Lou,
You may hit the ball with the “wrong” side of any club, Ping
Zing 2’s included. What you are not permitted to carry is a two-faced club
(except for a blade putter), which is a club that has identical striking faces
on both sides. Some companies manufacture a two-sided chipper, which is an
illegal club. Please don’t ask me why a company would manufacture an illegal
club – that’s a question I have no answer for.
Linda
