Where it wins
- Looks88
- Distance82

Watch
Rated highest for looks and distance; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You putt with a slight arc, want a premium classic Anser blade with a firm, feedback-rich milled face and an adjustable-length shaft to dial in your fit.
You want maximum forgiveness, you prefer the softest insert feel, or you want a budget putter.
Pros
- A premium classic Anser blade in copper and black - looks great, aids alignment
- Ping's face milling makes putts roll beautifully
- An adjustable-length shaft (32-36 inches) to dial in your fit
- A firm, feedback-rich machined face for confident short putts
Cons
- A classic blade - less forgiving than a high-MOI head
- A firmer feel than a soft insert, with little audio feedback
- A 2020 design now superseded by the PLD and 2024 lines
By dimension
Forgiveness
SolidModest - a classic players' blade. A classic blade design with heel-toe weighting rather than a high-MOI head, rewarding a clean striker. Modest forgiveness - a traditional Anser blade.
Distance
ExcellentA strength - with Ping's face milling the putts you strike feel great and roll beautifully, the firm machined face giving consistent pace. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
SolidA slight-arc blade - the Anser 2 delivers the feel of slight toe hang and was successful at knocking in must-make short putts, the Anser shape suiting a slight arc. Good arc-fit - a slight-arc blade.
Feel
ExcellentFirm and feedback-rich - the machined steel face gives a solid, medium-soft feel on short putts that becomes firmer on longer putts, with plenty of feedback through the hands, the putts feeling great off the milled face. Good feel - a firm, premium milled sensation.
Sound
StrongA firm, quiet note - plenty of feedback through the hands but it doesn't produce much audio feedback, a firm but quiet machined-face note. A firm, quiet putter sound.
Looks at address
ExcellentPremium and classic - the classic blade design with a premium, contrasting copper and black finish looks great and aids alignment, a clean, traditional shape. Among the best-looking classic blades.
