This Karsten Co., Gary Player Ping Anser has the famed Scottsdale Anser head which has been a favorite with a number of Tour pros across the years.  In 2016 while playing in a web.com Tour event, Stephan Jaeger used a Karsten Co. Anser to shoot a 12-under 58.  Jaeger was the first player on the PGA or Web.com Tour to score such a crazy number.

This putter shows little to no use.  The head bears a strong, dark patina. Even the shaft band shows no wear.  The Informer grip is original. Karsten Co. Ansers were the first Ansers marked with a Phoenix address.
