Ping Anser Version 1 Putter

Offered here is an original Scottsdale Ping Anser Version 1. The putter in this lot is the most common version of the Scottsdale Anser. The cavity lettering is off-centered to the left. This version almost always has the Phoenix address shaft label. Version 1 is notorious for having very poor lettering in the cavity, which can be very hard to read and sometimes even the letter P is missing from P.O. BOX. This version commonly has a round mold mark on the neck above the putter head leading up to the hosel, which is visible on this Anser.       

All of the Ansers were sandcast so the interior of the cavity is rough and textured. Finding any Scottsdale Anser with deep, perfect lettering is a difficult task. Most have some type of issue with the lettering and that is how they were from the day they were brand new. This Anser has poor lettering typical of these putters.

Cavity marking reads as follows:

U.S. PAT. 202,715 & 203,512 PING GOLF CLUBS P.O. BOX 1345 SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ MADE IN U.S.A. OTHER PAT.PEND.
