Replacement spacing: The average hybrid step is 3.3°, with gaps ranging from 3° to 4°.
Coverage: The lineup spans 10° across the long-iron / hybrid part of the bag.
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 • Higher roll
Mid–high launch • High stopping
Low–mid → Mid–high launch tendency
Distance → control as loft increases
| Club | Loft | Launch Tendency | Flight Window | Roll Tendency | Stopping Tendency | Loft-Driven Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17 | 17° | Low–mid | Penetrating | Higher | Low–moderate | Long-iron / fairway-wood bridge |
| 20 | 20° | Mid | Strong | Moderate–high | Moderate | Long-iron replacement |
| 23 | 23° | Mid | Balanced | Moderate | Moderate–high | 3/4-iron replacement window |
| 27 | 27° | Mid–high | Higher / softer | Low–moderate | High | Mid-iron replacement window |
What the loft gaps mean for shot separation
- 17 → 20: 3° — Moderate hybrid step — a sensible starting point for gapping.
- 20 → 23: 3° — Moderate hybrid step — a sensible starting point for gapping.
- 23 → 27: 4° — Moderate hybrid step — a sensible starting point for gapping.
Hybrid note: As hybrid loft rises, the expected flight window shifts higher and softer, making the club progressively more iron-replacement/control oriented. Equal loft does not guarantee equal distance versus an iron because hybrid head design and shaft length change launch and ball speed.
Anser distance-to-control map
| Part of lineup | Reference club | Loft | What the loft favors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Distance end | 17 | 17° | Low–mid launch, higher roll, stronger distance bias |
| Middle | 23 | 23° | Mid launch, more balanced carry/control role |
| Control end | 27 | 27° | Mid–high launch, high 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.
