PLD Milled Anser 30
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You putt with a slight arc (and tend to miss right), want a precision-milled Anser with a firm, Tour-preferred feel, high MOI and class-leading short-range performance.
You putt with a strong arc, you prefer the softest milled feel, or you want a budget putter.
Pros
- A precision-milled Anser with heel-toe weighting and high MOI
- An immediate end-over-end roll - eight-footers became routine
- A shallow-milled, slightly firmer Tour-preferred feel for control
- A classic, elegant brushed look - a Golf Digest 2026 Hot List putter
Cons
- A firmer feel than the buttery standard PLD milling
- Built for a slight arc - strong-arc players want a shorter neck
- A premium milled PLD price
By dimension
Forgiveness
Strong for a blade - a precision-milled classic Anser with heel-toe weighting for stability and a high MOI, the superb short-range performance making eight-footers routine. Good forgiveness for a blade - heel-toe weighting and high MOI in a players' shape.
Distance
A standout - the shallow-milled face produces an immediate end-over-end roll, making eight-footers routine, the precise milled face giving consistent pace. Among the better putters for distance control - a short-range specialist.
Workability
A slight-arc blade - a longer hosel that achieves a 30-degree toe-down angle, reducing toe hang relative to a normal plumber's neck and suiting a slight-arc blade player, the long neck steadying the face for a slight arc. Modest arc-fit - a slight-arc blade.
Feel
Firm and tour-preferred - the shallow-milled face provides a slightly firmer, Tour-preferred feel for precision and control, a firm, deliberate strike. Among the better putter feels - a firm, premium milled sensation.
Sound
A satisfying soft click - a satisfying soft click at impact, a clean, premium milled note. A clean, premium putter sound.
Looks at address
Class-leading craftsmanship - the classic, elegant brushed look, a premium forged-and-milled 303 stainless PLD finish. Among the best-looking, most premium blades.
