Ping iWi Anser - 'puts customisation in your hands'.
New for 2009 Season - The Ping iWi Anser putter is a member of the latest generation of putters from Ping that has been launched to complement the popular Karsten and i-Series putter lines, the iWi (Interchangeable Weight Inserts) series for 2009.
The iWi Anser putter is the result of Ping's focus on multi-metal technology to ensure the delivery of optimal performance. Combining a stainless steel body, an insert that merges stainless steel and elastomer, and steel or tungsten sole weights, the Ping iWi Anser has optimised weight distribution to maximise feel and consistency along with an increase MOI.
The real difference is in the sole where there are 2 steel weights of 12 grams each which can be adjusted designed to let you adapt your flat stick to the conditions of the greens you are playing on. Interestingly Ping say that the 'smash factor' or force of impact of the iWi putter is the same as the rest of their range making it is easy to change model and upgrade if your putter is a little out of date and you were afraid that you may lose your touch if you were to change.
Ping have raided the tungsten larder and will be selling a separate weights kit with a wrench and a pair of 20 gram and 28 gram tungsten weights so you can adjust the weight of the putter yourself.
