I've been around these clubs since I was a kid . I worked in a pro shop in the early 70's . What I wish Karsten did was to put serial numbers on these putters . The metal is soft for a good feel but if not cared for they were easily damaged . This one is in good shape . In the 90's the started making what is known as a recast using the same exact molds as the ones made in the60's and 70's .The oldest Phoenix 85029 ( 69 to 71 )putters have a Pro only grip . The next is 85020 ( to 73 ). They went from a physical address to a box address . After this is 85068 till today . Alot of recast are sold as vintage . A seller was offended when I pointed this out .This was not my intention . His club was well worth what I paid . It was not 38 years old , it was app. 8 yers old . They are 100.00 new recast . I paid 47.00 . I'm happy . The one I bought was well cared for . I can tell by it's patina that it is original .Read full review
This fine pc. of American history will join my ping collection. Ping is the best putter I've ever used. This putter will be played golf with also. As I so much enjoy, now that I am 62yrs., to play these fine putters from Ping, weather the putter is a 068, or an o20 or an 029 or the Scotsdale 1-A. I play and love the feel of a ping putter. weather beryllium or poured bronze mag. every ping has its own feel. No two pings are the same.
Basic and classic putter. Not too heavy (like most putters on the parket today,) but not too light. Just enough weight to swing smoothly through the ball. I've tried countless putters (from Odyssey Two-ball down to more-basic styles) and have had the most confidence and best results with this Ping Anser 3. I am consistently getting the right pace, distance and accuracy. Will not use anything else!! Highly recommended and relatively inexpensive compared to new putters.
Had and sold it. Was able to get this one in great shape and very good price,

This is a design that has stood up over the years. Came with an over-sized grip which I like. Very good condition.
