2010 Ping Anser 2 Putter Revealed!

Lot's of new products are scheduled to be released by Ping including a 14 new putter models under the scottsdale name.  One of our content partners Toshi of the popular Japanese blog Anserfreak was recently able to visit the Ping Japan headquarters and warehouse to see first hand what was in the pipeline.

The new Anser 2 model features a durable blackish grey finish from top viewing angles while the sole has a dark mirror finish.  The new insert is made of a Thermoplastic Elastomer and we were told that it feels softer yet has a surprising and more apparent impact sound.

We are not sure about the differences between the U.S market models and the Japan market models yet but based on the early reports it appears Japan is only reporting on the blackish grey finished versions while the U.S has the traditional silver finish in their marketing aids.

We do however expect the entire U.S line up to be available in Japan along with some unique Japan Only models that of course TourSpecGolf will carry.

Ping today held  their annual sales meeting  showing off  official images of the entire U.S Scottsdale putter line up and we will have more info in pictures in the coming weeks. For now enjoy the gallery images below posted on their twitter page from the event.

New Products include the Ping K-15 series, Ping "Faith" women's series, Ping S56 Irons and the 2010 Scottsdale Putter line...Enjoy!

Ping S56 Irons First Look!
New Ping S56 irons were spotted today at Pebble Beach and posted on the official Ping Twitter page.  At first sight it's design shares many of the same aesthetic cue's as the new Ping Tour S Wedges that we showed you in Feb from the Tokyo Golf Show. Ping staffers are just now getting their hands on the new Ping S56 Irons and you can expect to see them put  into play shortly.

The  Ping S56 Irons will feature a tungsten toe weight very much like the previous S57 model. It also appears to have a similar thermoplastic urethane insert and tuning slot which enhances feel at impact.  At this point very little is known about the new S56 as spy pics are just popping up all over the web now.  I can only assume it's made of 17-4 stainless steel and designed with a firm elastomer insert.  Expect a thin top line and narrow sole to produce a mid/low trajectory.

Angel Cabrera's new Ping Tour S Wedge was also spotted in the Ping Tour Van and posted on Ping's twitter page sporting a hot new copper finish, this is the first we have seen of the Tour S in this finish and we think it looks great!  Stay tuned for more info about the new upcoming 2010 Ping Products!
