I use a ping anser 2 becu! You can’t beat the fact that it’s real metal that no matter how many color changes it goes through, it can always come back to new. Way cooler than spending $350+ for a painted putter that will look like garbage in 10 years.
Been using a Ping Anser for 20+ years. The reason is simple. I am a good putter with it and I wont be better with something else. Newer does not mean better. If you could buy significant game improvement from your putter, wedges, driver and irons (and every club maker says you can) then why arent we all on the PGA....The ANSER (Pun intended) is you cant buy a better game you pay for it on the practice range and putting green.
Mine is a Zing, it's still dropping them despite my decades of lay-off. It's from the 80's. I just fitted it with an oversized DriTac, it's LOVELY this way. As the fellow above says: you can't buy better golf, you earn it on the practice range.
@@maximsmith8493 absolutely 100% true --- The taylormade spider and the ping anser are the real designs, not much new has come out. Although i will say i purchased a LAB DF putter last year, and its lie-angle balance is something i've never seen. It's certainly the best putter i've ever used.
A Wilson West Loop putter chose me and I had it regripped. The thing was $99 and I wouldn't trade if for any putter because you kind of nailed it. Go to a big box golf store, try every putter, walk out with the one that works for you regardless of price. I was in there expecting to drop 3 times the money.
Some say that it is the archer and not the arrow! I have been using a Nike Method putter for years and I haven't been able to get rid of it because it brings me confidence! The best putter is always the one you are confident with
Couldn’t have said it better myself! That’s why I use a “yes” putter..they don’t even make them anymore but as drake says “it’s the best I’ve ever had”
I've got a method putter that I've bought replacements for and it's always ended up finding its way back in the bag, they're golf's dark secret I think
Been using Scotty Cameron putters nearly the whole time I’ve been playing golf in my 25 years of existence. Went to my local golf shop to look at some putters fully expecting to get another Scotty. Stumbled upon a milled Ping Anser. Fell in love with it and immediately put it in the bag!
Always love a putter review! I think Scotty Cameron is 90% reputation and looks rather than performance, but Putters are very much about how you feel when you look at them. I really like the look of "Fetch".
@@toddcriswell434 They don’t outperform any other putters out there. They’re just blinged out putters that got sold onto many pros, along with a high price… and boom! All of a sudden, everyone wants one just to say “yeah, I got a Scotty” lol A Scotty is not my thing, to each their own though 👍🏽
@@rushfanjames2112 when tour pros including tiger woods win events for over 20 years with them it’s understandable other people would like to buy and play them too
Rick - my first ever putter (over 40 years ago!) was a Ping Anser. I still have that in my garage but how much has the Anser changed over that time in terms of performance? Have you ever compared a 1980 Answer with a new 2021 version to see how they compare? I’d be fascinated in the results. Thanks Nick
I used an Anser 2 for years and then got on the mallet train (Odyssey Strokelab) and my putting completely fell apart. Went for a fitting and discovered I was putting backspin on the ball with my mallet. The fitter grabs and 2021 Anser 2 and I immediately start stroking putts without backspin and start draining putts. The point? Get a putter that fits you. Also will say I enjoy the insert on the new Pings. And the black stealth design is stunning. Hope the finish holds up over time. I did get the bigger grip Rick referred to and love it.
Wow, I actually love the look of the Ping Fetch. And that ball fetching technique is cool as hell, especially because it works when the ball is in the hole. Might have to put that in the bag. The Harwood feels like it was priced just to make the Answer and Fetch look like great bargains tho 😂
I have been using an Anser since 2012. I have recently switched to a Fetch. I really like the face balance of the Fetch. I’m much more consistent now, averaging 32 putts per round. I have Stroke Index of 10.5, according to Brodie’s SG statistics, I’m putting like a 5.
Still using my Ping Zing2 purchased in 1994 and it rolls as true as ever. I still use a Callaway X-Hot2 3-wood I've had for almost 15 years, too. Putters and fairway woods are like loyal dogs.
I have a Ping Karsten (c.1967) that my father found on a course years ago. Last summer my wife restored the original grip to a playable condition because it had begun to disintegrate, and I restored the beryllium copper finish to its original state. It is amazing to have such a piece of golf history through pure coincidence of my father being at the right place at the right time and having the skills in our house to restore it so beautifully.
I don't know what shape it was in, but the dark patina that the CuBe heads acquired used to be one of the highly prized traits. The older it was the darker it got,
In case you weren’t aware, Ping will restore any of their older putters for a very reasonable price. Last time I had one done was last year and they only charge $45 for refinish, new shaft and new grip and like $15 to ship it back to you. Pretty good deal and it will come back like brand new.
@@juststeve7022 Absolutely agree. I restored it because I wanted to, not because it needed to be restored. It was a fun project, and it was neat because my father had never actually seen it in that state as he found it rather than purchased it new.
@@Tom-ok2rh That's a great deal. I knew they would take it, and considered it. The reason we chose to redo it ourselves was because all of the components of the club--head, shaft, and grip--were all original to the club. I didn't want to lose that piece of history. Plus, on a personal level, it was all of the same components that my dad used back in the day. I will keep that in mind about the restoration because my brother-in-law has an older Ping that might need some TLC in the future. Thanks!
@@stemogstel22 Glad to hear. I figured with decent putters today costing $150 and higher refinishing one for less than half of that is a good deal. The couple I had done by Ping was very fast too. They usually have it back to you in less than two weeks.
Bought ping sigma 2 tyne last year and I love it. Was at golftown getting my putter regripped and tried it while I was waiting. Fell in love with the feel. Walked out with a new putter and a new grip on an old putter lol.
Rick just got a cleveland putter, must say had every make of putter nd this is by far th most confident I've been standing over a put . You should give them a review. Keep up th good work 👏
The thing is, quality and desirability are two different things. The poll showed that Scotty Camerons are rated by nearly half of your respondents as the best, followed by Odyssey, with a third. But, as we know, the putters from all four brands on your survey are excellent, as well as those from other brands you didn't mention. It comes down to that desirability question, I think, and to a large extent the concept of FOMO. I think there's a bandwagon thing going on. Sort of like "Everybody wants this, so I want it too". I wonder how many of your responders have actually played a Scotty...
I’m still a new golfer, higher handicapper for sure. I put a Ping Sigma G Anser from 2017 in the bag because I love the classic look and shape, I like the metal insert so that it’s not too hard or too soft of a feel, and I’ve enjoyed progressing with it!
I love the look and idea of the Fetch. Not having to bend over to pick up one's ball would probably help a lot of golfers, and I like its round shape and shorter head.
In my opinion, I still think that Ping putters are certainly the best in the business... They were also the first company to bring out the bladed style putter and have always been the best at making the style!!! I also believe that they are very good value for money! Great video once again Rick!!!
This video just made me order the fetch. I've been using my old long putter still, and my playing partners are getting less and less lenient on me still using it.
I like the idea of the Ping Fetch; I think there's loads of room for putters-and golf clubs in general- for different styles and performance goals and ideas for different players' needs and styles- without becoming gimmicks
when I played, I had a decades old Anser and I loved it. I bought a Scotty Cameron when I lived in the US and used it three times and went back to my old faithful. When I sold my clubs, I kept the Anser and it sits in pride of place in my garage/man cave
My first putter purchase, suggested to me by my friend Melisa Gilbert PGA Teaching Pro, in 1980 was a Ping Anser. I still play it to this day. I've tried a lot of other putters over the years but my Ping Anser, for me, is still the best.
I had a the Taylormade Spyder for a few years and it was alright but could never really get used to it and was super inconsistent with my putting. Last summer I got an Anser from the Heppler line and have absolutely loved it over the last year.
I've been using my Ping Ansr 2x exclusively since I bought it new over 15 years ago. The one thing different is the Super Stroke I put on it this last year, and I still love it.
I use my dad’s ping y-blade he bought with newspaper boy money in 1968 when he was in middle school. Great putter too! Made in Phoenix. Newer grip but still has great feel.
I got my first course license with a Ping Anser, twenty years ago. Did the job just fine for me. Haven't played in ages, but when I get back to picking up the game again, I think I'll try out some putters and I know I'll have the Anser in there for sure.
I just purchased a Ping PAL5 SS for $50. That's cheap for Australia. It's amazing. I naturally have a straight back and through putting stroke. This vintage face balanced blade is very very good.
Hey Guys, I play a newer Ping Sigman. I love it. I played a Scotty for over a decade. I loved it. I quit for many years from injury and then divorce. I tried to find a new Scotty for about month that I liked. I tried a the Sigma2 a few times and liked it. It wasn't cheap by no means but fair. I went back about 2 days later and bought it, you can adjust the height. It took me about two days to really settle on where I liked it best. Now, I putt very well with it. My driver and my Putter are my two best, most consistent clubs in the bag.
The 2021 Fetch will surprise you! The hole is no gimmick its just an extra feature on a great putter. If you like the idea of and/or have a straight putting stroke the fetch is for you. Shot my lowest round ever with it to end the season. I hear Rick on the sex appeal, I did not intend to buy a Ping, but I found it to be much more consistant than the stroke lab I thought I was going to buy
I got a new Ping Sigma G this winter since my ancient Ping Redwood putter was stolen at a practice facility. loved that putter so decided to stay with Ping.
Ping Anser is a beast of a putter! I almost picked one up and then cheaped out and got a Kirkland that was on sale. But the price was good. The face felt absolutely amazing. I love them.
Won a Fetch Sigma 2 and didn't know how much I needed it until I started using it. Plus, I have bad knees so I don't have to bend down to grab a ball now lol
I have a ping putter that is at least 40 years old I believe and I still enjoy it today. I think it is still great and I do not see myself not putting well most times with it.
i picked up the Ping Anser 2 in 2020 and i like it... in my opinion, i would’ve LOVED it if it had a metallic face instead of the hard rubber insert. it’s really difficult to “feel” the ball on impact because the insert dampens everything. some may like it but i think that’s why Ping has lost it’s appeal. give me an Anser 2 with a metallic face and i’m sure i’ll love it. the grip already dampens the vibration on impact. no need to take away the “feel”
I just retired my classic Ping Pal2 last year and upgraded to the Ping Sygma Tyne. From alot of the comments, a large part of Ping users are still using the older classics because of the feel. I tried 10 different brands when I switched and went back to Ping because of the feel. I tried Scotty's, Betanardi, Evenroll, Odyssey, Taylor Made and others.
My favorite putter is an old PING Anser with sound slot I picked up at Play It Again Sports for $7.00 I regripped it. My second favorite is my Faultless-Lee Trevino putter my Mother bought for me almost 50 years ago when I was a teenager, it's a great putter too.
Benched my Scotty Cameron (Studio Design 1.5) for a Ping Heppler Anser 2 last season. It looks good, feels good, and rolls nicely. I don't see that getting replaced anytime soon. I do go out to the garage about once a week to go look at my Scotty though, it is a beautiful putter.
You had a SAM putt lab fitting 4 years ago with lee using claw and had a great stroke, why did you change grip putter etc, would you consider going for another fitting?
I've had a Ping Karsten TR Anser in my bag since I bought my first set of clubs. Big fan of it and definitely agree that Ping putters are some of the best out there!
I have almost continuously used a Ping Anser putter since the late 1970s and still game one (a Vault 1.0). The ball often goes in the hole when my old hands don't shake too much.
I've been using a Ping putter for about 17 years now. The reason I wanted it back then ?? Ping was THE putter to have at the time. Maybe I need a scotty Cameron putter now ! Lol
The first new club I bought was a Ping A-Blade. I believe I bought it in 1970 for $19.95 (I think, not positive). I replaced it with a Ping Craz-E about 25(?) years ago. Went back/forth with those 2 for years, but have been using the old A-Blade the last 15 years. It’s a magic stick!! Put a SuperStroke grip on it when they first came out, and have re-gripped it 2 or 3 times since. Currently has a SS Tour 2.0XL on it (as does the Craz-E). I can’t tell you how many times I’ve turned down offers for it. I’ll NEVER sell it!! It’ll literally go to my grave with me!!
I have a Ping Anser Cadence 2 maybe? It was the first club I ever bought after I started playing, I used my dad’s clubs to begin, and I don’t think I will ever get rid of it unless it gets destroyed! I love the Anser style and it just works for me! I’d have a Taylormade Spider but that would be the only other putter that interests me! The new Anser looks wicked though!
So we inherited a house in California from my wife's father, so we rented a dumpster to clean the house out and some people in a truck stopped and asked if the could get a piece of furniture out, I seen in back of there truck I thought was a golf push cart, I asked about it, it wasn't but they said they had golf stuff at home and they brought the stuff and left it by my door, in it was a beautiful Ping Answer 4, I loved how it felt so much I ran and put a new Golf Pride pro only grip on it.
Mi first putter ever was a ping B60 and I used to put wonders with it. Then I discovered the Anser shape and used a weighted Anser for years until Odyssey came with a Anser Shaped Putter, The Odyssey #1 Tour (with extra weight). I have tried Mallet putters but I always putt better with blade Anser style putters.
That poll could be renamed "Which marketing appeals to you the most"
As a digital marketer I salute your comment. Well done.
Absolutely and many other brands

I feel like putters are a bit like a Harry Potter wand. It chooses you. I belong to a Ping ketsch cadence. Putting with it feels like magic.
A Wilson West Loop putter chose me and I had it regripped. The thing was $99 and I wouldn't trade if for any putter because you kind of nailed it.

I went back about 2 days later and bought it, you can adjust the height. It took me about two days to really settle on where I liked it best. Now, I putt very well with it. My driver and my Putter are my two best, most consistent clubs in the bag.
The 2021 Fetch will surprise you! The hole is no gimmick its just an extra feature on a great putter. If you like the idea of and/or have a straight putting stroke the fetch is for you. Shot my lowest round ever with it to end the season. I hear Rick on the sex appeal, I did not intend to buy a Ping, but I found it to be much more consistant than the stroke lab I thought I was going to buy
I got a new Ping Sigma G this winter since my ancient Ping Redwood putter was stolen at a practice facility. loved that putter so decided to stay with Ping.
Ping Anser is a beast of a putter! I almost picked one up and then cheaped out and got a Kirkland that was on sale. But the price was good. The face felt absolutely amazing. I love them.
I still love Ping putters, especially the Anser 2. Great video!
Won a Fetch Sigma 2 and didn't know how much I needed it until I started using it. Plus, I have bad knees so I don't have to bend down to grab a ball now lol
I’m old enough to remember paying £40 for a Ping Anser back in the day as it was one of the must have putters
I will play my Ping Anser 4 till end of my days. No other one. Felt in love with the first putt and this love will never die.
I have a ping putter that is at least 40 years old I believe and I still enjoy it today. I think it is still great and I do not see myself not putting well most times with it.
Just got a Anser 4 and I absolutely love it.
Hey Rick love the review I’m injured right now so I have been practicing putting everyday
Sameee
You have no excuse for the rest of your life to three putt then
@@hdjdsalsa1662 you would be surprised just because I’m practicing doesn’t mean I’m good😂
I've used my Ping Zing2 putter over 30years now and I love it!
Had a 2 ball,a Rossa and a few other over the years..went back to my ping b60i 10 years ago..still in the bag !
Got fitted with the Harwood today. Loved the feel of it and the grip. Of course I got fit to the $$$ one
Harwood looks very nice. I have been wanting to replace my Ping mallet from 5 years ago and perhaps give that thing a try. Looks great to my eye
i picked up the Ping Anser 2 in 2020 and i like it... in my opinion, i would’ve LOVED it if it had a metallic face instead of the hard rubber insert.
it’s really difficult to “feel” the ball on impact because the insert dampens everything. some may like it but i think that’s why Ping has lost it’s appeal.
give me an Anser 2 with a metallic face and i’m sure i’ll love it. the grip already dampens the vibration on impact. no need to take away the “feel”
I played with an Anser 3 for quite a few years, but I recently switched to a JAS WTi Anser. It’s the best putter I’ve ever owned.
Wish me luck for my golf tournament tomorrow! 😊
Good luck
Best of luck at your tourney tomorrow!!
do you need luck or are you prepared?
@@richoliver2217 thanks rich!
@@connarwhite7463 thanks man!
I just retired my classic Ping Pal2 last year and upgraded to the Ping Sygma Tyne. From alot of the comments, a large part of Ping users are still using the older classics because of the feel. I tried 10 different brands when I switched and went back to Ping because of the feel. I tried Scotty's, Betanardi, Evenroll, Odyssey, Taylor Made and others.
I have owned at least one of all four brands you mentioned and I always seemed to go back to my Ping Crazy E. I just feels right (most of the time)
My favorite putter is an old PING Anser with sound slot I picked up at Play It Again Sports for $7.00 I regripped it. My second favorite is my Faultless-Lee Trevino putter my Mother bought for me almost 50 years ago when I was a teenager, it's a great putter too.
Nothing will tear me apart from my Taylormade Spider!
Spider lets go lads
Benched my Scotty Cameron (Studio Design 1.5) for a Ping Heppler Anser 2 last season. It looks good, feels good, and rolls nicely. I don't see that getting replaced anytime soon. I do go out to the garage about once a week to go look at my Scotty though, it is a beautiful putter.
You had a SAM putt lab fitting 4 years ago with lee using claw and had a great stroke, why did you change grip putter etc, would you consider going for another fitting?
I've had a Ping Karsten TR Anser in my bag since I bought my first set of clubs. Big fan of it and definitely agree that Ping putters are some of the best out there!
Only putters I’ve ever bought. I’ve tried many others, but the Ping’s have always stayed in the bag.
Same here. Great video Rick. I still love my Ping Answer from 30 years ago.
Is it just me who wants to see lee westwood to start using that pick up feature on tour?!
I got a Ping on Saturday used it today I love it. I also love the color of the putter that copper and black color. God I love it
I have almost continuously used a Ping Anser putter since the late 1970s and still game one (a Vault 1.0). The ball often goes in the hole when my old hands don't shake too much.
I've been using a Ping putter for about 17 years now. The reason I wanted it back then ??
Ping was THE putter to have at the time.
Maybe I need a scotty Cameron putter now ! Lol
Just got fitted for a putter and a ping craz-e 2.0 vault chose me and I love it.
The first new club I bought was a Ping A-Blade. I believe I bought it in 1970 for $19.95 (I think, not positive). I replaced it with a Ping Craz-E about 25(?) years ago. Went back/forth with those 2 for years, but have been using the old A-Blade the last 15 years. It’s a magic stick!! Put a SuperStroke grip on it when they first came out, and have re-gripped it 2 or 3 times since. Currently has a SS Tour 2.0XL on it (as does the Craz-E). I can’t tell you how many times I’ve turned down offers for it. I’ll NEVER sell it!! It’ll literally go to my grave with me!!
I have a Ping Anser Cadence 2 maybe? It was the first club I ever bought after I started playing, I used my dad’s clubs to begin, and I don’t think I will ever get rid of it unless it gets destroyed! I love the Anser style and it just works for me! I’d have a Taylormade Spider but that would be the only other putter that interests me! The new Anser looks wicked though!
My Odyssey tank wide blade putter is my best club. Not my favorite aesthetically but it just works so well for me.
I use a cleveland putter with an oversize grip and it has been a huge upgrade from my previous putter
I keep going back to my old Ping Anser 4. I was looking at moving to the new Odyssey 2 ball Ten S until I saw how you putted with it last week.
My dad uses a ping anser, and before I got my new set of clubs he let me use his old ping eyes putter and I loved it these putters are just awesome
Rick - need some direction on a quality putter for a newbie. I don’t need to break the bank but will spend on quality. Thanks. Keep it up!
So we inherited a house in California from my wife's father, so we rented a dumpster to clean the house out and some people in a truck stopped and asked if the could get a piece of furniture out, I seen in back of there truck I thought was a golf push cart, I asked about it, it wasn't but they said they had golf stuff at home and they brought the stuff and left it by my door, in it was a beautiful Ping Answer 4, I loved how it felt so much I ran and put a new Golf Pride pro only grip on it.
Have an old Ping Eye 2. Fantastic roll. Better than most modern.
Mi first putter ever was a ping B60 and I used to put wonders with it. Then I discovered the Anser shape and used a weighted Anser for years until Odyssey came with a Anser Shaped Putter, The Odyssey #1 Tour (with extra weight). I have tried Mallet putters but I always putt better with blade Anser style putters.
I use a ping GLe2 mallet putter and I love it, also think it looks pretty cool too.
Still using the Ping Doc 15 putter. People think it looks odd (it is big), but it works for me.
I switch between my Anser 2, Anser 4 becu and Zero 2. Love them
For 10 years I'm still using my 1970s era anser. Classic and beautiful.
Used a ping anser 4 for over 20 years.I just can't bring myself to change it even now with all the new tech....still brilliant and relevant.
