Ping Japan is proud to introduce its all new Anser Forged iron for the Japanese market. The 2010 conforming Anser Forged Iron is a semi cavity back for the better golfer designed to provide the soft feel of a forged blade. Forged from soft 8620 Carbon Steel and paired with a hollow cavity design with tungsten nickel sole, the new Anser Forged provides premium soft feel, shock absorption and performance.
The top view provides sharper lines than the i15 but similar overall size. While the Anser Forged is designed to provide a mid trajectory ball flight, getting the ball in the air is very easy with the tungsten weighted sole and low center of gravity. Ping has touted the Anser Forged as fitting between the S57 and i15 in terms of its model line.
Ping designed the Anser Forged with the Japanese market in mind, creating an iron with sharper looks and a progressive offset design (see offset numbers in chart below) with feel, control and ease of use in a balanced package. The progressive offset puts more offset in the longer irons making them easier to hit and more distance oriented. As the irons get shorter the offet decreases allowing the short irons to focus on control and attacking the pin with the acccuracy of a blade. Slightly more bounce provides more forgiveness and prevents digging on lush courses (typically found in Japan)
The CTP or Custom Tuning Port provides additional shock absorption creating a soft sense at impact Ping likens to a muscle back. The CTP also functions as a back weight creating a thicker and wider sweetspot for that pure feel.
The Ping Anser Forged does have USGA Conforming Grooves.
The Ping Anser Forged Iron is available standard as 5-PW Black Dot specs and either Ping AWT or Ping Z-65 as standard shafts. Special Tour AD TFC 615i graphite in Ping Anser colors is available as the carbon shaft upgrade. 3 and 4 irons can be ordered at an additional cost (There is NO AW or SW). (please note graphite orders may sometimes take longer than steel).
THIS LISTING IS FOR BLACK DOT AND STANDARD SPECS AND SHAFTS. IF YOU WANT TO ORDER WITH THE STANDARD SHAFTS AND ONLY CHANGE THE COLOR DOT THEN YOU CAN CHECK OUT WITH THIS LISTING AND JUST NOTE THE COLOR DOT (FOR LIE AND/OR GRIPS) IN THE COMMENTS SECTION ON CHECKOUT. A CUSTOM COLOR DOT WILL TAKE 3 WEEKS.
The Ping Anser Forged Iron is also available from Ping WRX Japan CUSTOM SHAFTS. Custom orders take 3-4 weeks and you must contact us to get a custom quote as prices will also depend on shaft choice.
Upgrades include all shafts from DG, Nippon, Rifle PX, KBS Tour and graphite options.
