PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Ping iWi Craze-E putter offers the performance that the company is known for, as well as the opportunity for nonstop tinkering that golfers love.The iWi Craze-E is a mallet putter, with the clubhead weighing a solid 370 grams. It has a stainless steel body, but there’s also a two-piece stainless steel face insert with an elastomer backing that is designed to offer the performance of steel with a softer feel. A couple of tries on the practice green makes it clear that the insert works; it’s a very responsive club with incredible control.
All of the Ping iWi putters provide heavy customization. The iWi stands for interchangeable weight inserts, and the Ping iWi Craze-E putter offers as many as nine different weight combinations if the optional weight kit is purchased. Any setup will maintain the club’s high MOI, since the weights are concentrated on the heel and toe of the iWi Craze-E, but adding the additional weight may help some golfers keep the clubface square at impact.
Lining up putts is easy as well, thanks to the raised Optigraphic alignment system. Its two yellow lines and white alignment strip help golfers keep putts on target.
PROS:
It brings a lot of reliability on the green.
CONS:
None.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
For pros and amateurs alike.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The Ping iWi Anser putter takes advantage of a system of interchangeable weights to offer a club that can be easily customized to suit a golfer’s need on any particular day.
The club head weight for the Ping iWi Anser is 345 grams, on the light side of the iWi putter series (the iWi Craz-E is the heaviest at 370 grams). Two removable 12-gram steel inserts come standard, and an optional weight kit can be purchased that offers two 20 and 28-gram weights that can be inserted in their place with the provided wrench. That’s a big asset for those who want a heavier putter, or for those who find that they need extra heft on a particular day to keep the club head straight. .
A two-piece insert encases a stainless steel in an elastomer to add a softer feel. But aside from all the technology, the club looks like the classic Pings of old. It has the popular plumbers-neck hosel and a heel-toe balance that help golfers get a good look at the ball and balance the club through impact, and it performs like anyone would expect from the company that’s been one of the biggest names in golf for the past 50 years.
PROS:
Interchangeable weights to suit a golfers needs at any time, even in the middle of a round. Gives a heel-toe balance that helps golfers.
CONS:
None.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Anyone needing a quick adjustable putter on the go.
