TR 1966 Anser 2

The 2016 TR 1966 Anser 2 is Ping's take on its second-most-familiar head shape, built around the True-Roll face technology that gave the edition its name. According to mygolfway.com, the putter carried a 17-4 stainless steel face with True-Roll milling and a stainless steel blast finish, paired with a single white alignment line running down the flange for setup. That same reporting describes the head as departing from the standard Anser in a few specific ways: less rounded heel and toe contours and a narrower top rail, changes meant to distinguish the Anser 2 silhouette from its older sibling within the line.

On spec, mygolfway.com lists a 340g head weight, a 35 inch length, and a stepped shaft, with lie adjustable to plus or minus 4 degrees for fitting. The listing also has it built with a PP58 midsize black grip and pegs it as suited to a slight arc stroke, with a reported MSRP of €195. None of this comes from Ping's own materials on the piece, so it should be read as one publication's account of the release rather than a confirmed factory spec sheet.

Within the broader Anser 2 lineage, Ping's own current product pages describe the shape in more general terms, as a straight-taper, midsized pistol design meant to increase face awareness through larger flat surfaces, with later versions pairing that head with a heavier, more tacky counterweighted grip. The 2016 TR 1966 release predates that specific grip language, and the record on this particular year rests on the mygolfway.com account for its face technology, finish, and dimensions.
