Ping Golf's 2011 introductions include several putters. All of the new series and new models include what Ping calls its "Fit for Stroke" putter fitting guide.

Each new putter from Ping is balanced to fit one of three specific types of putting strokes: straight, slight arc and strong arc. On the shaft of every new Ping putter is a label indicating which type of stroke that putter is designed to work best with.

Of course, the Anser Milled series carries one of the most famous names of putter models in golf. This new Anser series debuts with seven models, milled from 303 stainless steal, with various hosel configurations, and slight variations in toplines, heel-toe length and toe radius.

All the Anser Milled models have a non-glare, satin nickel finish. Each Anser Milled putter has an MSRP of $325. The seven models (with their associated Fit for Stroke labels in parenthenses) are: Anser Milled (Slight Arc), Anser Milled 1 (Slight Arc), Anser Milled 2 (Slight Arc), Anser Milled 3 (Slight Arc), Anser Milled 4 (Strong arc), Anser Milled 5 (Straight), Anser Milled 6 (Strong Arc).

The Ping Scottsdale line was introduced in 2010, but now the company is adding seven additional models. All models have the series' dark PVD finish that sets off high-contrast alignment aids and sightlines.

Four of the new Scottsdale models have MSRPs of $140: D66 (Strong Arc), ZB S (Strong Arc), Shea (Slight Arc) and Tomcat S (Slight Arc). The other three have MSRPs of $170: Carefree (Slight Arc), Mesquite, (Strong Arc) and Senita (Straight).
