Why We Like It
- Compared to the single-piece milled versions in the company’s line, these models provide more forgiveness with a greater resilient face material.
- The polymer material in the face, known as Pebax, is found in running shoes. It stretches the width of the face to provide a consistent energy transfer and soft feel.
- The array of models accommodates strokes with a slight arc (Anser, Anser 2D, B63) and those with a stronger arc (Anser 4).
- The standard grip is the SuperStroke Tour 2.0 PT for consistent feel.
- Top 5 in Performance, low- and high-handicaps
- Models: Anser, Anser 2D, Anser 4, B63. Head weights: 345 grams (Anser, Anser 4), 350 grams (B63), 360 grams (Anser 2D). Lengths: 34-35 inches. Loft: 3 degrees

Big sweet spot. Ball jumps off the face. Almost springy. If you miss the center, you are not unjustly punished. Well-balanced throughout swing.

I love the way it swings. It’s a lighter-swinging putter, but very stable in the head. The ball doesn’t come off super-hot. That was probably the thing I liked most. I was able to put a confident stroke on the ball.
Molly

Performance was spot-on from a direction standpoint. Distance control was more challenging. Hard to predict what my stroke was producing due to lack of feedback. It's a lighter blade that could probably use more heft.
Wei
55, Handicap 13

Both the sound and feel were too soft. It felt like the insert was killing all the feedback I was looking for. That made it difficult to gauge distance.
Peter

Modern take to traditional look. I like the bold colors and design. The ball does do what you want it to do, so it's not just show. Insert travels along the entire face so you have a lot of room for error. Shorter putts were silent, but deadly. Only sound you hear is ball hitting the bottom of the cup.

Putter is too light. I feel like I have to hit the ball too hard to get it to the hole. In spite of that, I actually like the muted feel at impact. Custom Ping SuperStroke grip is comfortable.
Thomas
60, Handicap 7
10+ years testing
Performance-wise it was a bit too much on the soft side for me. Would be great for someone who likes a soft, quiet putter. But if you want feedback in your hands, it won't give that to you. Too soft for my taste, though very accurate and average speed control.
Robert
28, Handicap 2

Very soft, muted feel to impact, so if you like your putters on the softer side and don't mind giving your putts more juice, this could be the one for you.
Ricky

Simple blade. Contrast in white alignment line really sits well on top of gunmetal top and dark back side. The insert delivers a soft, responsive feel off the face. While soft, it still gets the ball to the hole.

Insert is the softest insert I've played so far. Really quiet. I felt like I wanted to baby it every time. If you play on fast greens, this is the putter for you.

Very large sweet spot for a blade. Felt like the ball was leaving the face with purpose and quickly getting into its roll. The flat face is refreshing and felt like it was grabbing the ball.

Wayne

Really nice putter overall. Has the weight of a traditional Anser putter with a gooseneck hosel. Don't know what the insert is, but it's definitely a softer insert, which allowed me to be more aggressive with stroke. Distance and control were both there.
Jason

Megan

Such a long blade, which made it more challenging to find the sweet spot. Nice performance inside 10 feet. More of a wooden feel on long putts and not as stable.
Matt

Ping nails the small stuff. It's hard to find a more basic blade putter design than this. It's got a not-too-big, not-too-small profile, with just the right mix of angles and curves to give it a cohesive design. Mild-mannered. Just enough audible feedback to let you know you've made a good stroke.
David

Such a nice, soft, quiet feel. Ball rolls true off the insert. Made a ton of putts with this putter.
Shane

Close but no cigar. Putts rolled close, but did not go in. I like how soft feeling it was, and how the ball still got rolling immediately.
Jack

The insert is super soft and deadens the blow. It's like a putter silencer. If someone is heavy-handed, and is super aggressive, this would probably be a good fit.
John

Paul

The two hosel options include short-slant or short-plumber configurations.
Completely milled from 303 stainless steel, this slightly wider-body blade adds stability with tungsten or steel sole weights in the heel and toe.

The unique reverse plumber’s-neck hosel helps to shift the putter’s balance point between shaft and head to make it easier to square the face at impact.
The benefit of the hosel is that unlike other designs that reduce or eliminate torsional resistance, this version does not force the hands forward with an angled shaft.
Because the shaft is aligned with the head’s center of mass, the putter face stays square to the path of the stroke to eliminate unreliable hand action.

Like the company’s hollow-body irons, an internal polymer filling reinforces the center of the ultra-thin faces to enhance rebound, feel and forgiveness.
The face gets thinner than a penny, which saves mass that’s redistributed to the perimeter.

These familiar head and hosel styles received a bold upgrade in the form of a carbon-steel face insert for a softer feel.
The insert is fused to the milled stainless-steel body and an aerospace-level vibration-damping adhesive.
Although carbon steel can typically degrade, this insert uses a chemical process to protect the steel, enhance hardness and preserve feel.

The three models cater to two stroke types (straight on the #8C and a slight arc on the #1 and #8S).
Models also feature different style grips depending on the stroke type, specifically an oversize pistol for quieting the hands on the straight-stroke putter and a classic pistol for ease of activating the arcing stroke.
The dense milling pattern at the center of the face becomes looser toward the heel and toe so that mis-hits receive more energy at impact for consistency across the face.

Used extensively in running shoes, the polymer in the face insert is known for its capacity to be soft and resilient in returning energy to the ball at impact.
The insert’s low density saves weight in the face that finds its way to the heel and toe sections for additional stability on off-center hits.
