ANSER®
The 17-4 stainless steel Anser hybrids offer enhanced progressive CG positions and a forgiving head design to optimize launch conditions and playability from all types of lies. The Anser hybrid has a traditional shape that is slightly larger, making it more forgiving on mis-hits. They are available in lofts of 17º, 20º, 23º and 27º.
-
Progressive CG
In the lower-lofted hybrids, the CG is slightly lower and farther back for higher launch and optimal spin. The higher-lofted hybrids have a more forward CG position to optimize launch conditions.
-
Forgiving Face
The lowest portion of the clubface is wider, most importantly in the heel and toe, for improved alignment and to ensure clean contact for more forgiveness and optimal spin.
-
Classic Shape
A traditional classic profile and slightly larger shape make aiming easier for improved accuracy. The non-glare matte-black finish eliminates distractions to help with focus.

PING offers a variety of graphite shafts to optimize an individual golfer’s ball flight for the best possible feel and performance. PING’s proprietary shafts are engineered to complement our head designs so that every player can optimize their trajectories for predictable results.
We recommend that you get fit for the shaft that allows you to play your best golf. Whether that’s a softer, lighter shaft with a higher launch or a heavier, stiffer shaft with a lower trajectory, a PING Certified Club Fitter can help you find the shaft that brings consistency to your game.
GRIPS
| GRIP | COLOR CODE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
360 ID8
| The 360 ID8 grip utilizes all the same features as the ID8, but is a round grip to function with drivers and fairway woods featuring PING's adjustable loft technology. | |
|
360 ID8 Full Cord
| The 360 ID8 Full Cord is a round grip designed to function with drivers and fairway woods featuring PING's adjustable loft technology. It features a firmer texture in the upper portion to help control direction, a softer texture in the lower portion for enhanced feel, and soft cord to enhance traction. |
PING offers a variety of grip sizes and styles to fit different hand sizes and texture preferences. Since grip size influences your wrist action, and therefore the direction of your shots, it is commonly used by fitters to affect ball flight.
PING color-coded grips are available in six different diameters, and can be further customized with grip tape according to your needs. Once the neutral grip color code has been determined based on hand measurements, golfers may consider smaller diameter grips to help control fades and slices, or larger diameter grips to help control draws and hooks.
In each of the 17-4 stainless steel Anser hybrids internal and external weighting is utilized to progressively locate the CG position, optimizing it for that particular loft. In the 17º, the CG is slightly lower and farther back to help launch the ball higher while maintaining the correct spin for a strong ball flight. As the lofts increase, the CG is relatively more forward to ensure the best possible launch conditions for that club.
The lower portion of the clubface has been extended and squared off, which offers three main benefits. One, it makes aiming at your intended target more accurate and repeatable. Two, it positions mass further from the CG, driving up the MOI. And three, it positions mass lower in the club head, which helps to optimize the spin rate.
ANSER HYBRIDS
Progressive CG locations in the Anser hybrids promote high launch and improved accuracy so players of all abilities can add distance and control, says PING Senior Product Designer Mike Nicolette.
