Reviews of Ping Putters
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.

Clubfitting Is Important, but Set Makeup Can Be Critical
by Mike Chwasky
When most golfers think of customizing their clubs, they immediately think about fitting. And while determining the right loft, lie, length and grip size, among other things, is critical to getting optimal performance from a set of clubs, set makeup can be equally, if not more, important. Basically, the days of eight irons, two wedges, three woods and a putter are over, and opening your mind--and bag--to new ideas is a great way to improve your game and your scores.
