Ping Anser

The Ping Anser is one of the most popular putters in recent history. It has quickly become a classic and favorite amongst professionals, amateurs, and collectors alike. The iconic heel-toe weighting and low profile design of the Anser has proved to be a solid choice for golfers looking for feel, consistency, and dependability in their putting game.

The first thing to note is the Ping Anser has been around for decades and comes in a variety of materials. You can find stainless, copper, and platinum coated putters on the market. Additionally Ping began experimenting with inserts around the same time Titleist came out with their copper insert Scotty Cameron and when Odyssey came out with their white insert putter. Putter inserts were really innovative because designers were no longer constrained by the material of the entire club face. Now they could experiment with club face materials and a different material for the rest of the club. Ping has never been an industry leader in club face inserts but their work has been acceptable. You can find Isupur, blue inserts, and even a hexagonal pattern.

Ping Anser putters have found a home with many touring professionals. Before the putter market exploded and because almost as popular as the market for Big Bertha and other over sized drivers, the Anser was the favored putter for just about every professional golfer. Even Tiger Woods used this putter to win three straight Junior National Championships.
