My dad showed me a new purchase yesterday. At the local Goodwill, he found a Ping Anser manganese bronze putter. The cool thing is it has the original sticker on the grip that says something like: DO NOT REMOVE UNTIL SOLD.........the grip has some small cracks in it. It must be from the 60's or early 70's and by the look of the sticker, I would say it has never been used.

What do you guys think it is worth?

He paid $4.

It's all about finding the right buyer. For something like that I'd save it for at least another generation.

You would need to let us know EXACTLY what writing is in the casting on the back. Every word of it and the positioning of those words. A photo, perhaps? It might well be a valuable putter.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Contact Ping with the markings on the putter and have them tell you exactly when it was made. At any rate, I would never sell it. Nice thing to keep if you ask me.

I also have an old anser manganese bronze, too. Actually the first putter i ever owned. Youre probably not going to get more than 100 bucks for it, even in pristine condition. Its not worth getting rid of for that price.

He got a great buy on the putter, but I don't think that it is anything special. If it was from the first run of that model back when Ping started, maybe. Definitely a putter from a different time, but I don't think it will command big bucks. I have an Anser 3 made of the magnesium bronze and it is nothing special. Great putter, but not really a collectible.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

Well it was manufactured in Phoenix so its just a regular old Anser. Great Putter though. The only ones that fetch alot of money are the Scottsdale additions. I would say you may get $40-$45 from the right person, but if it were me i would keep it.

From the looks of the grip and the imprinting on it, it won't be worth too much. The font and imprinting looks exactly like the Anser 3 that I have from the early 90's. Just a regular putter. As 'scrapeotheclown' mentioned, someone might have interest, but not as a collectable. Still a great buy though.

      Day 241 (31 Dec 24) - last session of the year.  Worked with the 54 wedge focusing on not decelerating in the downswing thru the ball.  Much better distance control, ball checked well.  Good session…

      Taylormade had the Aeroburner mini driver that was 253cc. The only mini driver I have owned. It was a hot beast.

      Wilson brought out the Killer Whale driver in I think around 1991 - it was around 300cc and looked enormous at the time. I was used to much smaller. Now not so much. I think the appeal of the mini driver is a lot of drivers these days are designed not to turn over. It's hard to hit a controlled draw with them.  For a lot of pros, when they come upon a hole that favors a draw, they don't want to hit their driver because they can't (or won't) draw it. A mini driver can be their draw club and the fact that they can also hit it off the deck means it's not costing them a club in their bag to do that. It's like a mix of a 3 wood and a driver that checks two boxes for one slot in the bag.

      The fact remains that a lot of people will buy the club. And as I noted, I play with several golfers that have mini drivers. The Callaway one is pretty big, too. It's not 280cc. 280cc is, FWIW, I think about 23cc larger than the Titleist PT driver of yesteryear. The GT 3W is 200cc, so this adds 80cc to that, while still being one of the smaller mini drivers which are often closer to 300cc or just over it.

      😁That’s because it’s Golfwrx 🙄…where everyone is a +12, hits is 370, and has unlimited money for new equipment!   Maybe I’ll go over there and say I ordered 12 of them 😁   Gotta keep up with the Jones over there.  As you know there are a couple other sites like that🙄. Niche audience is the perfect phrasing.  Most of the comments so far back that up.
