The Anser Forged carries the same name as one of the early models Karsten Solheim produced before he transitioned to the popular investment casting process. The newest version pushes the forging process to create performance benefits not previously associated with a forged club.
The Ping Anser Forged Irons has a forged, multi-metal design. The Anser iron combines an 8620 steel body and a tungsten sole to provide unequalled forged-iron performance. The face and grooves are machined for added spin and its hollow sole cavity design improves feel and positions the center of gravity for higher launch. A progressive set design offers forgiveness in the long irons and greater control in the short irons
A hollow-sole cavity enhances the Anser’s soft feel and pushes the CG low and back for higher-launching iron shots. Golf Clubs for Sale Dual cavities milled into the back of Ping Anser Forged iron offer forgiveness and exceptional playability while the tungsten insert in the sole offers excellent ball flight and an incredibly stable and soft feeling hitting experience.
Removing metal post forging via CNC machining allowed Ping to add more moment of inertia (MOI) in 2 directions. Left to right and high to low on the face of the Ping Anser Forged Irons for miss hit in the two ways we can miss it.
Additionally, Ping has noted that the Anser Forged Irons uses progressive offset going from more to less as the irons get shorter. This creates more ease of use in the long irons, allowing the player to square the club face easier. The offset shrinks as the irons get shorter to focus on control and touch. This ease of use concept mixes automatic/point and shoot long irons made for distance with workable short irons to attack the pin.
At address, sharing a similar address appearance with the Ping i15 the Ping Anser Forged Irons offers skilled, low handicappers the high performance quality they demand from Ping without excluding higher handicappers who want the reassurance of playing with a premium club.
While not a super game-improvement iron, the Anser irons feature plenty of perimeter weighting and tungsten in the sole to help players get the ball into the air more easily. The PING badge on the back of the club is a weight that can be changed as part of the fitting process.
