[jddaigneault]

I have wanted a squareback for a couple years now. So hard not to pull the trigger.

the Anser 4 is not shown on Pings web site.....is this a new model that is coming out or an old model no longer offered? 

came to this thread with the same question.  Over recent years, I've come to realize the Anser 4 (or Zing, or Miz TPM-2) offset and hosel is a much better fit for me than that of the Anser/Anser2.

I saw your post about plumbers necks on the main article.    Just to let you know MGS doesn't generally pick the putters  in the test;  they request putters from the OEMs and the send what they want to include in the test.   MGS will occasionally add some clubs when a manufacturer doesn't send any clubs.   That said,  I would say that a large percentage of the putters were not plumbers neck.  

I figured that was the case.

so this is a Japanese page with Anser 4. I did the google translate thing so I could at least read model names. Good pics. And a cool video but....its in Japanese so I just turned sound on mute since I don't know the language. But the website is top notch with great pics. Maybe the US Ping site will get the putter line updated on its site.

I copied the above into translate.google.com so I could at least read model names.

It is coming out soon; new product. It was/is embargoed but because pictures were already released elsewhere they allowed MGS to show photos. Until the testing gets closer to the summer there are almost always embargoed products in the testing.

I  can tell you from my testing,  that the blade putters would destroy the mallets;    There were only 2 mallets that I putted well with.

I'm loving this comment because, aesthetically, many of the mallet designs just don't fit my eye.  Probably because I've been rolling the B61 for so long and it feels like the day you first picked up a "turtle on a stick" driver.  Seems like the "wide blade" styles that rocked the testing are a good balance between added MOI and more traditional (to the eye) looks?  Also noticed that all of them fall into the "slight toe hang" - which is what my fitter was moving into. These results have me now wanting to test a few of these top picks against my gamer and the Evnroll HR5 HB identified from the fitting. 

Eyeballing that Mizuno and Scotty Cameron in our classifieds... both are cool looking. Push me over the edge @jlukesor @Chip Strokes

Do itttttt! Seriously the MCraft IV is a pretty nice balance between blade and mallet, especially if you want some toe hand. But with my Scotty 5.5 coming in a few weeks I just couldn’t justify keeping it

@fixyurdivot i’ll help make your decision to buy the mizuno easier...my scotty sold this morning.

I went by Dicks yesterday as they finally had  a few Odyssey White Hot OG #1 putters.  I can definitely understand how MGS testers selected this as top pick.  It's smooth as butter on hot corn bread!  Much better feel off the insert than the Ping putter I just picked up.
