Karsten Solheim designed the original Anser in 1966 and patented it in 1967, and Julius Boros won the 1967 Phoenix Open with one. The Anser 2 is a variation with a slightly longer, narrower profile and sharper corners than the Anser, and it suits a golfer with a slight arc in the stroke. Ping has sold it in several series, so this page covers the shape rather than one putter. Recent versions include the Heppler Anser 2 (2020), with a steel and pressure-cast aluminum head, a copper and black finish and an adjustable-length shaft; the 2021 Anser 2, with a dual-durometer Pebax face insert and tungsten heel and toe weights; and the PLD Milled Anser 2 (2022 to 2023), forged from 303 stainless with about four hours of milling and a deep AMP face pattern. Ping's next standard line, announced in late 2022, listed an Anser 2D rather than an Anser 2. Older Anser 2 putters also turn up regularly. For a used buyer, the series name and condition decide what you are getting, so read the head before you compare prices.

Buying guide · Oct 4, 2026
About 119 Anser 2 listings are active, and the band is wide, about $70–160 delivered, because it spans decades: older Phoenix-stamped (85068) Karsten heads often sit under $100, while 2024-titled models and beryllium copper or nickel heads cost more. Read the head for the series, make sure it's an Anser 2 and not an Anser, 2D, 4 or 30, and on older putters look for plating wear, rust and a replaced grip or shaft. Measure the playing length, since many Ping putters have been cut down or extended. Skip the $276 BeNi ask when the same seller lists another BeNi Anser 2 for about $187.

Putter cover
Milled faces and soft inserts mark easily. Pick a blade or mallet cover to match the head shape, and keep it on in the bag and the trunk.
Grips, tape and solvent
Most used clubs arrive on the last owner's grips. If they are shiny, cracked or slick, regripping is the cheapest way to make a used club feel new. Match the grip size to your hands, not to what came off.
