Why We Like It
Piretti’s Mike Johnson knows the iconic Anser shape started as a more technically precise putting tool before becoming a jewelry piece in recent years. He prides his milled-blade designs on their artistic approach to form, but he believes function plays an equal role. That’s why these blades feature heavier heads to smooth out strokes on today’s faster greens, sole weights so that those head weights match shaft lengths and a 2.5-degree loft angle to better align with modern mowing heights.
Characteristics
- Heads are milled from a solid billet of 303 stainless steel.
- Sole weights help balance each head weight with each shaft length, including custom weights of up to 400 grams.
- Deep-milled face is designed for a softer feel.
- Three models (Cortino, Cottonwood 2, Matera); head weight: 355-375 grams; lengths: custom 32-40 inches; lofts: 1-5 degrees
