pinggolf.comTECH TALK: The heel-toe-balanced, 17-4 stainless-steel body is investment cast and then heat-treated. The machined face has an insert that combines a thick, urethane piece with a softer central layer. The taper-tip shaft is stepless, and the grip is Winn AVS. The company's online Web-Fit program calculates the proper length, lie and grip size based on static measurements provided by the consumer.PLAYER COMMENTS: (T) "I was very impressed with the feedback on off-center hits. It lets you make stroke corrections quickly." ... (M) "If you like the Anser style, you'll love this." ... (L) "I actually liked this insert, and I'm not a guy who normally likes inserts."HOT: An example of product evolution that would make Darwin proud. The company that invented the Anser has made it better. The insert is a sign that the metallic sound that gave Ping its name has been bred out.NOT: It would've been nice to have heavier head-weights for the shorter shafts.
