Scottsdale Anser

The 2025 Scottsdale Anser is Ping's return to the head that started it all, a center-shafted blade with no offset and heel-toe weighting, built around the visual symmetry the Anser has always been known for. Golf.com describes it as carrying soft ballasts and slightly less-rounded back corners than earlier versions, with a back cavity marked by a single alignment line and a hosel design suited to a strong-arc stroke. The same outlet calls it the standard-setting version of the Anser and credits it, without qualification, as the winningest putter of all time, a reputation attached to the Anser name generally rather than to this specific release alone. Haggin Oaks frames it more simply as a classic blade shape with modern refinements.

On spec, golf.com reports 17-4 stainless steel construction, a PEBAX elastomer face insert, and a chrome stepless steel shaft, finished in a high-contrast black nickel. That combination puts this Scottsdale release in line with other modern Ansers that pair the old blade geometry with a softer insert underfoot, rather than leaning on the firmer face-forward feel some earlier Ansers were known for. Golf.com's fitting notes point it toward players with a straight stroke or a slight arc, consistent with the heel-toe weighted blade profile the publication describes throughout its coverage.

Within the Anser line, the 2025 Scottsdale sits as the version built to look and weight like the original silhouette while updating the materials and insert underneath it. Every claim above traces back to golf.com and, for the broader description, Haggin Oaks, and neither has been verified against Ping's own materials or tested by us, so the details here should be read as reporting rather than settled fact.
