What stands out about the Anser loft?
Gap pattern: Uniform 2° spacing across every adjacent loft.
Anser loft progression
How evenly are the Anser lofts spaced?
Every adjacent loft is exactly 2° apart. That gives the Anser a perfectly even static-loft progression from one option to the next.
Anser vs other PING fairway wood lofts
This comparison uses the same benchmark club where possible and shows nearby lower, similar and higher PING lofts when available.

Anser Loft Intelligence
These derived specs show how the fairway-wood lineup is spaced and where its loft structure is tight or wide.
14.5° to 18.5°
between adjacent lofts
Very even
5-wood
Spacing efficiency: The 4° total loft span is divided into 2 equal steps of 2°. There are no compressed or oversized loft jumps in the lineup.
Coverage: The family spans 4° from the 3-wood to the 5-wood.
How the Anser lofts affect the shot
Loft is one of the biggest inputs into launch, trajectory, rollout and stopping power. The table below translates each Anser loft into its likely loft-only shot tendency.
Low–mid launch • Moderate–high roll
Mid launch • Moderate stopping
Low–mid → Mid launch tendency
Distance → control as loft increases
| Club | Loft | Launch Tendency | Flight Window | Roll Tendency | Stopping Tendency | Loft-Driven Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3W | 14.5° | Low–mid | Strong / penetrating | Moderate–high | Low–moderate | Distance-first fairway slot |
| 3W | 16.5° | Mid | Balanced | Moderate | Moderate | Versatile distance / approach slot |
| 5W | 18.5° | Mid | Balanced | Moderate | Moderate | Versatile distance / approach slot |
What the loft gaps mean for shot separation
- 3-wood → 3-wood: 2° — Tight loft step — these heads may sit fairly close in flight window.
- 3-wood → 5-wood: 2° — Tight loft step — these heads may sit fairly close in flight window.
Fairway-wood note: Lower-loft woods are biased toward speed, flatter flight and more rollout; higher-loft woods trade some distance for easier launch, steeper descent and more stopping power. A high-loft fairway can therefore behave very differently from a hybrid with the same number on the sole.
Anser distance-to-control map
| Part of lineup | Reference club | Loft | What the loft favors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Distance end | 3-wood | 14.5° | Low–mid launch, moderate–high roll, stronger distance bias |
| Middle | 3-wood | 16.5° | Mid launch, more balanced carry/control role |
| Control end | 5-wood | 18.5° | Mid launch, moderate stopping tendency, stronger control bias |
Spec note: Loft can vary with model year, region, special configuration or custom fitting. Verify an exact club against PING documentation or measurement when a single degree matters.
