Has Anyone Tried the New Ping iN Putter?

[golfheaven]

Curious if anyone has bought or tried the new Ping iN (anser v2 blade in particular) which uses a hollowed out construction and nano technology.

I love and own the Ping i series blade right now and was wondering if there is a discernible difference between the two. I'm not sure if this is available at the pro shops yet, but it is there on the Ping website. Thanks.

Got a chance to try the PING iN Anser V2 today and while I couldn't
compare it at the pro shop with my current Ping i series putter, I decided to stick with my PING i series. Couldn't discern any major improvement. Thought it to be heavier in feel. To each his (her) own. Again, as has been said many times, selecting a putter is such a personal decision.

I tied it and bought it. Putters really are such a subjective decision. I have tried Camerons and just do not get it. I owned an Odyssey Black and hated it. I had a Taylor Sienna with AGSI and should never have traded it in. That putter seemed light and light for me encourages a slow staright back stroke but do not ask me why. I had the 2 ball and loved it at times and hated it at times. About 8 years ago I was draining them from all over with a Nike OZ but I could not get over how much I hated the way it looked. I love the way my Ping iN Anser looks. Yes it standard Anser design but it just look slike a good solid putter. As for performance they put nickel insert in face but to me it feels like steel. I just found that it felt good to me as far as weight ( maybe a tad heavier but not real heavy) and I was draining them from all over at Golf Galaxy.

i tried them today at my local golf shop. i really like the ping in D67. it makes a really nice "ping" when you strike a good putt. or maybe a bad putt, im not sure. im debating between the in D67 and a ping piper.

Be wary of "draining them" at a golf shop. Some have been known to sink their cups low to create a funnel effect so that more putts go in.

Not always intended that way....initially....

One of the local shops sort of has this working for them. They've been in business for decades and have a small (one hole) putting deck that is elevated a couple of inches off the floor. This narrow lane is surrounded by by putters for sale. There isn't a lot of room....you simply stand there and putt straightaway 10-12 ft max....walk up and get your balls....repeat the process. The gazillions of times people haved stood there...walking to retrieve thier balls....leaning down in front of the cup....must have sunken the floor down a bit in the center slot to the cup. I could take on any tour player if I could putt on the course as well as I putt in this store.
