In short
The Ping G2i Anser (2007) is a blade putter suited to players with an arcing stroke. It has full toe hang.
The G2i Anser is Ping's 2007 take on the shape that started it all. Karsten Solheim drew the original Anser in 1966, and forty years later the profile is basically unchanged: a compact heel-toe weighted blade with a plumber's neck and a clean topline. If you've ever picked up a putter and thought "this just looks like a putter," this is the silhouette you're picturing.
What sets the G2i version apart from the raw classics is the feel. Ping tuned this line to roll a little softer off the face than a bare stainless blade, so contact feels muted rather than clicky. It's still a blade, so it still gives you plenty of feedback on where you struck the ball, but a slight mishit toward the toe won't rattle your hands the way an old milled Anser might.
This is a putter for someone who trusts their stroke. There's no alignment line on the flange, no oversized head hiding your misses. You line it up with the topline and the shaft, you make your read, and you go. For players who grew up on Ping blades or want a modern one that behaves like the originals, the G2i Anser fits right in the bag.
The head is a traditional Anser blade with cavity relief behind the face, which pushes weight to the heel and toe and keeps the sweet spot stable on off-center hits. The plumber's neck sets the shaft ahead of the face and produces full toe hang, meaning the toe points nearly straight down when you balance the shaft across your finger. That hang tells you everything about who it's built for: it wants to swing on an arc and release through impact. Ping kept the styling restrained. The finish cuts glare at address, the flange is bare of any sightline or dot, and the topline is thin enough to frame the ball without looking bulky. It's a look that reads instantly as a player's blade, and the absence of alignment aids is a deliberate choice rather than an oversight.
Ping invented the heel-toe weighted blade (the original Anser) and continues to innovate in weight distribution and forgiveness. Their PLD line offers tour-level milled putters with Ping's signature engineering.
