Why We Like It
- Three new takes on historic Ping models, including the iconic Anser heel-toe weighted plumber’s neck blade.
- The designs are a product of Ping’s engineers working with the company’s tour staff.
- The new shallow milling pattern creates a more responsive impact while maintaining a soft feel.
- The precision CNC milling process takes 75 to 100 minutes per head, and the heads are made from 303 stainless steel.
- The plumber’s neck Anser (350 grams) and heavier, wide-sole Anser 2D (365 grams) favor arcing strokes.
- The double-bend shaft on the Kushin works best with straighter strokes.
- Top 5 in Performance, low- and high-handicaps
- Models: Anser 30, Anser 4D, Kushin. Head weights: 355 grams (Anser 30, Kushin), 365 grams (Anser 4D). Lengths: 34-35 inches. Loft: 3 degrees.

Has the classic Ping Anser look, soft feel, and ting at impact. On the hefty side for being so compact.

The faded chrome with the gold lettering makes it look like a custom-made tour putter. My hands fit perfectly on the grip. The roll is end over end. One of the best-looking putters I've seen.
Alan

Has just the right amount of loft on it. Nice roll. If you forward press, you just need to bump your hands forward an inch and it fits perfectly.
Wayne

Looks and plays like a traditional blade putter to me. I would prefer more of a hybrid blade-mallet. It performs fine, I would just like a little more size.
Wei

I like how simple and clean the look is. The lack of heft to the clubhead makes it difficult to control distance. I do like the way the ball interacts with the face milling, it's just hard to tell how far it's going to go.

Simple, classic, timeless design. I find it comfortable and familiar. And it works. If you're looking for extra help or an extra bell or whistle, keep looking. Feel is on the softer side. It's not pillowy soft, maybe buttery soft.
Alejandra

Looks like an antique. Traditional. Simple. For short to mid-length putts, it's fairly easy to use. You know what the ball is going to do. Difficult to feel how hard to hit longer putts because face is somewhat dead at impact.
Jack

Firm putter. Deep, milled face softens blow, like a boxer wearing gloves. Every one of the putter's qualities is as good as the best. Across the board, it's like a good song you never get sick of hearing.
Peter
57, Handicap 7

Traditional blade shape and size. A little smallish compared to modern-day putters. Bottom line is you make a lot of putts with it. Has soft but bold feeling off the face—the ball follows directions very well. Not heavy, but you feel some power on long putts.
Matt

Very classic Ping Anser look. There's no need to change it—it's what brought them to the party. The sound is very muted, which surprised me, as it didn't have the classic Ping noise. Puts a really great roll on the ball. Easy to keep on line.
BK

Classic Anser. It's got this nice, audible click. When you hear it, the ball holds on the face for a second and then rolls off great. Soft, but not too soft.

Traditional Ping look. Why fix it if it's not broken? Love the gold accents. Minimalistic to the core. Center is soft, cushioned feel; off-center hits thinner and more metallic.

Shane

Classic, no frills look. Feels velvety smooth to touch. The face is extremely hot, but it's consistently hot, so you have the ability to adjust. Ball rolls immediately off the face.
Jin

The Goldilocks of blade putters—traditional size and scale is unmatched. Everything is just right. Plenty of weight to hit any distance you want and the balance helps produce a consistent distance and dispersion.

Evnroll takes a versatile approach to traditional blade putters (hence, the “V”) with hosels that attach via a typical torque wrench.
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.

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).

These traditional shapes focus on custom-fitting with an array of hosel options from heel-shafted to armlock.
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.
Four loft sections up and down the face provide consistent launch and speed.

The stock heads are almost 20 grams heavier than standard models, shifting the club’s balance point lower and leading to more consistency in face rotation.
The extra mass in the head is counterbalanced with a lighter grip so that players can feel the head move naturally like a pendulum.
The increased head mass, along with heel and toe sole weights, adds stability on off-center hits for consistent rollout.
