About the Ping Anser Forged
The Anser Forged was Ping's first modern forged iron, built from 8620 carbon steel with a tungsten toe weight and a Custom Tuning Port. It runs 3-iron through pitching wedge with a 33.5-degree 7-iron — half a degree stronger than the cast S56 of the same era — and holds a D1 swing weight through the irons. Ping's colour-code (dot) system sets lie angle relative to standard: gold 4 flat, brown 3 flat, orange 2 flat, red 1 flat, BLACK standard, blue 1 upright, green 2 upright, white 3 upright, silver 4 upright, maroon 5 upright. The lies below are the BLACK (standard) lies.

Finding a used set
The Ping Anser Forged ran from 2011 to 2012 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search the used listings on eBay, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.

- Note on the years, corrected: this file previously recorded year_introduced as 2012, which cannot be right — the second-generation Anser Forged was itself announced on 6 September 2012. mygolfspy.com 'Ping Anser 2010 Irons (1st Ever Production Forged Iron by Ping)' and golfmonthly.com 'PING Anser irons launched' place the first Anser Forged in 2011, released first in Japan in April 2011 and then in limited numbers in the United States later that year. year_introduced is recorded as 2011 on that basis, and year_discontinued as 2012, the announcement year of the second generation.
