I thought I was the only one on the planet to play that putter. Nice.

I didn't vote. My old original Anser 3 finally went dry; I tested every lefty putter in Myrtle's finest golf shops for 3 weeks to the point that I sensed that the sales reps might think I was a shoplifter (or nutzo for putting and not having a life at 9 PM). Money was no object (to a point). I almost went with the #9 due to Mickelson playing it but that's no reason to settle. The G2 Mini C with its center shaft just agreed with me and Martin's PGA Superstore's faux greens. It's agreeing with me on real greens, too. The G2 line is awesome, IMHO. That blue-crap they did with the G5 line of putters made me wanna puke.

redwood. like the feel.
but i don't putt well with them :p

+1 for Ping REDWOOD! I love the feel, look and it's performance. I got better luck with it

I'm not to crazy about the headcover though. I've owned several putters, well many putters and so far Ping REDWOOD Anser is the one that still stay in my bag.

Just my .002


I've played this one for 10 years now and love it.

What's in the bag:

G10 9 degree, TFC 129 shaft, stiff
Big Bertha 3 Wood
FTX 2i, Apex Plus 3i-E MP-R 52/07 and 56/13 Zing

I love the Karsten series, but the Redwood, that is like putting with a stick of butter.

Driver: Cleveland HiBore XL (10.5 -conforming)3 Wood: MacGregor V-FOIL5 Wood: Mizuno MP-001Irons: Ben Hogan BH-5 (4-PW)Wedges:52 - Nike SV Tour56 - Cleve...

I got the Redwood Piper S last fall, and it kicked my Odyssey 2-Ball Blade out of the bag. Looking forward to this season with it. Steel, face balanced and milled to perfection. Put a Tiger Shark grip on it, and I'm rolling.

Driver: Cobra S2 9.5 Fubuki 73 Stiff | Wood: Titleist 909H 17 Aldila Voodoo Stiff | Irons: Titleist ZB 3-5, ZM 6-PW DG S300 | Wedges: Titleist Vokey SMTC 50.08, 54.11, 60.04 DG S200 | Putter: Scotty Cameron Fastback 1.5 33" | Ball: Titleist Pro V1x


I have used a Karsten Ping Pal 4 for years without ever trying anything else.
I just loved the look and feel.
Am at present looking to retire it for a Karsten Anser.

I voted Karsten. I found the Redwood to be too shiny with glare with either the black nickel or black satin finish....messing me up in alignment and stroke. Also didn't find noticable difference in feedback.

One other thing is that the Redwood isn't offerred in an Anser2 (which is weird). Limited head blank shapes.

I still personally think Pings are great for blade putters. I know many are saying Scotty's are it...but Pings are just fine for me to get the ball into the hole.

the red wood is an amazing putter i would take it over a scotty cameron

I have used the Ping i-Series Craz-EB now for awhile and absolutely love it. I feel like I have a ton of control with it and it has helped me make consistent 20-25 foot puts.

Just bumping an old thread.

The making of Bubba Watson's new Ping putter.

Bubba Watson won the 2015 Hero World Challenge using a new Ping putter.

David Dusek explains how Ping made it for him.

    • By today’s standards that’s certainly true, but they weren’t having any trouble hitting golf balls in 2005 so I’ve equipped myself with what was among the very best equipment around that time for a very reasonable investment. If I get to the point where I feel like I’ve outgrown that stuff, I’ll reward myself with something more current. But for now I don’t need adjustable loft and lie and modern head shape, just a good quality, proven club with a clean club face. For now I’m going to concentrate on the basics. I know you can get more yardage with newer woods, but I don’t care about distance nearly as much as consistency, and you can’t buy that for any price.

    • Trying to feel bit more external rotation of the trail elbow at A4. I think better than what have ever been able to position it.  Forward lunge at impact still a work in progress. 
    • Because you're twisting it to hold it open. Forearms, etc. shouldn't be all that tense at setup.
