PING took its Anser shape, made it deeper and heavier, and fitted it to women. The G Le4 Anser 2D looks like a blade at address but behaves closer to a mid-size mallet, and the soft insert makes it pleasant to hit.
What's new
This is an Anser built for the G Le4 women's line. PING casts the head from 17-4 stainless steel in pearl chrome with Galactic Lilac accents, then pushes weight to the heel and toe of a slightly deeper body. At 350 grams it carries the mass of a mid-size mallet inside a classic blade outline.
A one-piece PEBAX insert fills the face, and one contrasting sight line runs back from it. It comes on an H1 hosel with a full chrome stepless steel shaft and a lilac PP58 Tour M grip, at 33 inches standard with 32 available. An 8.3 for value says the price is fair for what the head delivers.
How it plays
Feel scores best, at 8.4. PEBAX takes the click out of impact without making the ball feel dead, and the roll comes off the face tight and end over end. Forgiveness at 8.3 backs up the weighting story: a toe strike holds its line better than a thin blade would let it.
Accuracy lands at 8.2, which suits a slight-arc stroke that rotates gently open and closed. The heel-toe ballast keeps the face from twisting on that arc. Pace control trails at 7.5, so lag putting asks for a bit more practice than starting the ball on line does.
Where it lacks
A blade can only get so deep. Anyone who misses the center by a wide margin will still get more help from a full mallet, and the extra mass that steadies the head also mutes how much you can steer it, hence a 7.6 for workability.
Fitting is narrow too. With only 32 and 33 inch lengths on offer, a tall player or someone who stands unusually upright may run out of adjustment before finding a comfortable setup.
“It looks like an Anser and steadies like a mallet. For a gentle arc stroke, that trade works.”- The Club Stand gear team
Reasons to buy
- Perimeter weighting in a deeper blade gives mid-mallet stability without giving up the classic Anser look
- A one-piece PEBAX insert softens impact and still sends the ball off rolling crisply
- Built for a slight-arc stroke, which is how most women putt
Reasons to think twice
- A bigger mallet still forgives more on strikes well off the center
- The heavier, deeper head is harder to manipulate than a lighter traditional blade
- Women's-only lengths of 32 and 33 inches leave little room for taller or unusual setups
