SPY PICS! – 2011 Ping Forged Anser Wedge

2011 Ping Anser Forged Wedge

Wanted to say thanks to David Dusek for sending out the image of a new wedge Ping he is currently testing out.  We had heard that Hunter Mahan was testing a new prototype wedge out this past week at the Wells Fargo tournament.  We spoke to a source this morning that confirmed that news and also gave us a little more info about the wedge.  Here is what we have so far of this new 2011 Ping Asner Forged Wedge Prototype.

• Hunter Mahan tested it out at Wells Fargo Tournament
• More staff players will be testing it out in the weeks to come
• If you notice towards to toe you will see a Tungsten insert which our source says is to create more stability
• Right now this wedge will compliment the current Ping Forged Anser irons and they do not have plans to bring a full set of irons like these to retail
• These wedges will most likely be available at retail in the summer

Ping’s golf club designs never really have conformed to the typical standards of the industry when it comes to the looks category.  But when it comes to performance their almost always top-notch.  Ping is also not known as well for their wedges as let’s say a Cleveland or Titleist to the average golfer.  So…not matter whether you are a Ping guy or not…what are your initial thoughts on this new prototype wedge being tested by Ping? You going to give this a swing if it comes to retail?  Let’s hear whatcha got to say!
