New Ping Vault 2.0 putters (thanks, tod071)

Has anyone hit the Piper?

Love the look of it, but haven't seen it in person.

I usually gravitate toward Anser style heads but after trying the 2.0s out yesterday the ZB was money. I sunk more putts with it than anything else. It was easy to align and felt great. Very curious to see one with a sound slot.

I'm confused. Ping mentions they have three different weights. Does that mean, regardless of the weight you request, the weights will be the same color?

 

Exactly. Copper weights will come in the aluminum/steel/tungsten variations, as will the black weights. And according to my rep the stealth will only be available with the copper colored weights. The platinum finish will only come with copper colored weights. and the copper finish will only be available with black colored weights.

That's too bad as I wanted black weights with the platinum finish. Thanks for clearing it up. I'll probably still ask when the time comes. ;)

I know. I wanted the black weights in the stealth head. It definitely can't hurt to ask, never know if they'll change their minds :dntknw:

The real question is, is the Dale Anser better than the Redwood Anser?

Whichever one goes in the hole is better :) I hit some putts with the Anser today, and really like the shape and feel. I've had/have 009's and 009M's, and I have no qualm making the switch.

I find it interesting that the ZB seems to be the most popular head in the line. I wonder if its just due to the simplicity of the design, or perhaps the sight-dot with no line. Or maybe its just something different.

Just bring out an anser 5 longneck and I'm in

Anser 4 was the one that had a cult following around here.

[Misc1600]

How is the ZB? Still full offset like the Redwood?

[denvergolf]

I'm curious how the platinum finish will hold up...is it the same finish as the original vault line?

If it is the same finish, was the Vault 1.0

platinum finish not durable?

Sometimes they look a little beat up in the stores, but not as bad as the ping milled. That finish was awful

Agreed about the PIng Anser Milled finish. I was planning on purchasing a Dale Anser in platinum. I may have to rethink that now. Thanks.

[Foreleft]

I have a Voss in platinum. After 1 season, there is no wear visible at all.

 

Understand what you mean by the finish on the Milled line, but this seems different.

[javierruis]

Picked up the ZB, and it’s a stunner! Feel is exceptional, super soft and quiet when hit on the sweet spot, and off center hits have an audible click letting you know when you’re off center. Best looking putter line Ping has made! Home run!! Ordered a Ketsch as well, but it’s back ordered until early March.

[denvergolf]

The Anser looked really good in platinum in the store.

Faith restored in the platinum finish! Thanks.

Anyone know how the Ketsch 2.0 feels vs the Cadence TR Ketsch? Rolled the Cadence TR Ketsch yesterday and it felt great. Wondering if the 2.0 felt just as good or if I should just buy the Cadence TR version.

I don't have the Ketsch 2.0, but I do have a Ketsch PLD2 camo which has the same face and head weight (365) as the 2.0. I've been comparing it to a Cadence Ketsch putter that I have. They're very similar, but the PLD2 has a little better feel.

[nickilii]

i rolled the anser in stealth finish yesterday and really liked it. im not a fan of the grip myself tho..i think ill be picking on of these up and switching the grip to a ping cord putter grip and should be a awesome putter for me

By better do you mean softer? Or more responsive? I had a Vault Oslo a while back and it felt like plastic when I hit it. Obviously this putter will feel different than the Oslo as the weight is distributed differently.

[Sean289]

Am I right in assuming that the Dale Anser has a toe hang of 45* just like the Vault Anser 2? I ask this as I know that the Taylormade Juno and Soto TP blades have a toe hang of 35* and I’m wondering are PING doing the same or are they sticking to the traditional 45* of toe hang?

I am near certain that it’s 45 degrees. You can contact PING tomorrow just to be sure.

Here is mine received it a few days ago. Added a blue line for good contrast.

[AWD430]

How do you like the piper? Trying to decide between the piper and the ketsch

[PingGolferBrad]

Loving it, but I am also a tad biased I’ve used Pipers for a while, switched from a JAS Piper. I’m terms of shape it’s the best piper design, very smooth lines and sets very square.
