Ping PLD Anser 2 Review

Putter · 12 rounds in my bag

8.5/ 10

The short version

Two holes in with the Ping PLD Anser 2 I knew: it rolls end over end and the sound off the face is quiet and firm. Inside eight feet I stopped thinking about the stroke, which is the only review a putter really needs. The catch: on very fast greens the face feels a shade hot for me.

How it played

Straight into the bag for 12 rounds with no easing-in period. What I keep coming back to is that it rolls end over end and the sound off the face is quiet and firm. Where it bit me: on very fast greens the face feels a shade hot for me — worth knowing before you spend the money.

How it looks

Understated, no wild graphics, and the alignment line sits where I want it. I care less about that than how it feels, but it does not hurt.

What won me over

the roll starts true with almost no skid
the alignment aid frames the ball naturally
the head sits perfectly flat behind the ball

Good to know before you buy

it is expensive for what it is
the face is hot on very quick greens

My verdict

8.5/10 from me. If you want confidence on the ones you should be holing, the Ping PLD Anser 2 earns its spot in the bag. If it is expensive for what it is is a dealbreaker for you, keep looking.
