Reviews of Ping Putters

By Lyle@Nymble

Specs

The Ping i-series Anser 4 putter falls into the famous Ping Anser category of heel-toe weighted putters. Additional weight has been inserted into the sole to promote more balance and expand the sweet spot. The Anser 4 model has a minimal hosel offset and features a urethane face insert to promote a soft feel when the the ball is stroked. All of the putters in the i-Series come in a variety of shaft lengths up to 35 inches.

Perks

The urethane face insert in this model is firmer than many on the market and delivers a consistent strike that even players who don't like inserts will respond to. The Anser 4 falls into the more affordable price range but delivers truly high quality design features. Most important, the weight, shape and topline view on this putter have that satisfying feel that makes for confident putting.

Sacrifices

The i-Series Anser 4 uses a harder metal than most high-end putters made today. The negative is the firmness in its feel, though it does hold up better in the bag without a headcover than most contemporary designs. Orange is the color of choice and is on the face, the sole and even the grip. If orange isn't your color, this might not be your putter.

Bottom Line

A great feeling putter for a fair price. Most players would be happy to carry this Ping in their bag.

Golf Equipment Tip of the Day

Choose the Putter Designed for Your Golf Game
by Staff
If you've ever been humbled after having your stroke analyzed at one of those high-tech putting studios, you know why the adage "feel is not real" is, well, real. After all, when examined under a microscope, all the flaws of your stroke are magnified. Your path goes left, your clubface is open, you hit everything off the toe--the data doesn't lie and sometimes all that bad news is enough to make you want to impale your flat stick into the monitor. What's important to keep in mind, however, is that our strokes demand specific kinds of putters.
