The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe 2016 Anser 2 is Ping's Vault-line take on one of the marque's oldest running shapes, built as a fully machined putter rather than a cast one. According to mygolfway.com, construction runs from 303 stainless steel forged billets, machined throughout, with the same 303 stainless used at the face. Golfretailing.com corroborates the machining process from forged billets. Golfalot lists the face as TR face, while mygolfway.com describes the insert as TR face technology, so the record holds two slightly different phrasings of the same feature without a single verified figure to settle it.
Specs are consistent where they overlap: head weight is verified at 350 grams, length at 35 inches, and stroke type as slight arc, all from mygolfway.com. Loft is verified at 3 degrees, appearing identically in both mygolfway.com and golfretailing.com. Lie is reported as adjustable within plus or minus 4 degrees by both golfretailing.com and mygolfway.com, though the two differ on how they render the figure. Finish options are given as Platinum or Slate, the grip as PING Pistol 62, and pricing appears split by market, with mygolfway.com citing 355 euros fixed and 390 euros adjustable, and golfretailing.com citing 275 pounds fixed and 299 pounds adjustable.
On placement within the line, mygolfway.com frames the release plainly: the continued popularity and tour success of the Anser 2 made it an obvious choice to be part of the PING Vault line, calling it a classic design that never goes out of style. That view lines up with the broader community sentiment on record, which also points to tour success and lasting popularity as the reasons this shape earned a Vault edition in the first place. No dissenting opinion appears in the material to weigh against it.
