In our forums, our members have been discussing Ping’s classic Anser hybrid. The conversation has recently been revived by WRXer ‘Arlin964’ who says:

“Yes I know the thread is 9 years old but I stumbled upon the 17deg Anser hybrid in a golf mart last week. Stock stiff TFC 800H shaft.

I hit it in the bay and it just felt comfortable so I brought it home. On the range it was perfect baby pull fades, exactly what I like to see. It actually launched higher than I thought it would. I was wondering if it could be a good three wood replacement for low bullets off the tee, but I’m not sure it has the ball speed for that. But it fits me so well I might try to see if it could fit somewhere in the bag.

Is anyone else still using the Anser hybrids?”

And our members have been weighing into the matter in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

xabla: “I still have one in the garage and get tempted to pull it out now and again. Amazing clubs.”
Steelman1991: “Still use 2, 3 and 4 Anser hybrids. Very reliable soft draw. High ball flight but can manipulate it lower if required. Will probably use them ’til they break.”
Flashman: “I still play, driver, 4-wood and 2 hybrids. The Anser is the answer for me.”

Spotted: Titleist GTS USWO headcovers

GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore was at Riviera Country Club this last week in Los Angeles for the U.S. Women’s Open. While browsing the photos, I spotted a recent major trend in headcovers. That is, the Titleist GTS headcover line expands the majors theme.

Seen on the bag of Natalia Guseva were the red, white, and blue Titleist GTS covers. This is the third time we have seen limited-edition Titleist major covers, the others being at the Masters and the PGA Championship. But with the launch of the GTS line back at the Texas Children’s Houston Open in March, this is the first time we have seen Titleist come out with major themed head covers for the season (driver headcovers through hybrids).

Check out some photos below.

At the Masters, we saw the familiar Masters green, white, and yellow. While the PGA Championship design was colors synonymous with the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team. This shows the season major drops continue full steam ahead for major OEMs. New opportunities for each major for designs and themes, and who knows, maybe a lucky spark for a player and a major championship for their resume. It gets the wheels turning for what major theme headcover you would keep on your bag for the whole season!
