Anser 2 Series

The Ping Anser 2 Series, released in 2012, is one more link in the Anser line's long chain of variations on the design Karsten Solheim set down at the start. Our record on this particular release is thin, drawn from a single outside source rather than our own bench time or Ping's own materials.

masterofthegreens.com describes the 2012 Anser 2 Series as a classic blade-style shape with modern technologies, which places it squarely in the Anser tradition of updating the original silhouette without abandoning it. That's editorial description, not a maker's spec sheet or a Putter Talk review, so it should be read as one outlet's characterization rather than a confirmed fact about the head.

Against the rest of the Anser line, the 2012 Anser 2 Series reads as another attempt to balance the blade's roots with whatever "modern technologies" meant to Ping that year. Without our own hands-on notes or Ping's own page copy to draw from, there's not much more to say here than what that one source offers, and readers weighing this putter against other Anser variants will want to look at the head in person before drawing conclusions from a design description alone.
