We put a 38-year-old Ping Anser putter up against the brand new Heppler model – so how did it fare?

2020 Ping Heppler vs 1982 Ping Anser 4 – which performs better?

I will name a winner across three categories: looks, feel and performance. The one that has the most wins is the overall winner. You’ll have to watch the video to find out which one that is…
