PING ANSER putters

[boosh]

picked up one of the new ping anser milled putters a couple of days ago, just got to say these are MINT !!!!!!!!!

 

[Marko77]

which model did you opt for.

Saw them advertised today and must admit....tempted.

Will look around for a pro shop with them in stock

** edit, just saw you went #1 - 1 or 2 is whats tempting me

 

[thecraw]

Original and the best.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

How much did you pay and for what model. Saw some of these last week in Silvermere but mega expensive and priced at £200+

 

[boosh]

got the #1 and paid £180. played two rounds so far with it, best feeling putter ive owned. and ive owned a few lol.

 

[sev112]

i must admit i trie dout eth new ones at Gainsborough and thought they were wonderful. Cant really push towards the £180 mark at the moment and i've got one of the cheaper recent years Anser 2s that i'm putting back in the bag at the moment. I'll see how i get back on with that and maybe splurge for my birthday .

Did you get it fitted ?

 

[boosh]

no i didnt get fitted, i think putters are more of a personal thing. looks, sound and feel are the most important thing to me in my putter.

Was in AG today looking at these. It is exactly the same as the Scotty.

Same feel! same lines!

I feel cheated

 

[boosh]

wrong pic mate, thats not the milled anser.

 

[TonyN]

I wasn't after anything in particular Boosh I was just pointing out how these 2 putters are the same!

They were sat next to each other on the shelf. Same club, different badge.

Being a Scotty owner, it made me feel a little cheated as I kind of figured Scotties were Scotties. Not Production line casts sold to other companies to rebrand, or vice versa!

 

[boosh]

everyone and his dog has copied the original anser. goes to show what a classic design the anser is.

 

[Wildrover]

The PING Anser is the original and every heel toe weighted putter ever produced since is a copy no matter who made it. As soon as the patent ran out the world and his dog were waiting to rip it off. Scotty Cameron "designed" putters is a myth, they were designed by Karsten Solheim in the 50's and 60's.

 

[TonyN]

Next your gonna tell me santa claus isn't real!

Much as I love my Scotty, a lot of his "designs" are basically copies of Pings. They are however beautifully made. I am surprised it's taken Ping so long to pick up that Scotty Cameron/Titleist were making a lot money out of this and launched their own milled series. The result is Ping copying Scotty copying Ping.

As said above the Anser is probably the most copied club of all time.
