PING Golf: Innovation, Precision, and Custom Fitting
For over 65 years, PING has been one of the most innovative brands in global golf. Born from the ingenuity of American engineer Karsten Solheim, the company revolutionized how golf clubs are designed by introducing concepts that have since become standard, such as perimeter weighting, high MOI (Moment of Inertia), and custom fitting. Today, PING remains a family-owned company based in Phoenix, Arizona, continuing to design products that help every golfer play better.
The Story of PING
The story of PING began in 1959 when Karsten Solheim, an engineer at General Electric, decided to build a better putter in his California home garage.
During the testing of the first prototype, the stroke produced a characteristic metallic sound: "Ping!" That sound became the company's name.
Since then, the brand has introduced some of the most important innovations in golf history:
- the famous PING 1A putter
- the revolutionary PING Anser, still one of the most copied putters in the world
- the concept of perimeter weighting, which increases club stability
- the Color Code system, the first true large-scale custom fitting method
- continuous developments in materials, weight distribution, and driver aerodynamics.
These innovations have helped make golf simpler and more accessible for both professionals and amateurs.
The PING Philosophy
PING's goal is simple:
To help every golfer play their best possible golf.
To achieve this, each club is developed following three fundamental principles:
- maximum forgiveness
- consistent performance
- custom fitting.
Unlike many manufacturers, PING has always considered custom fitting an integral part of the design, not just an optional extra.
PING Custom Fitting
PING was the first company to develop a true fitting system through the famous Color Code.
This system allows each club to be adapted based on:
- player height
- posture
- swing speed
- lie angle
- shaft length
- grip type.
The result is equipment built to the golfer's characteristics, improving accuracy, distance, and consistency.
