PING golf clubs are one of the most known brands of clubs available. Started in the late 1950s, PING came about as the result of a General Electric engineer, Karsten Solheim, being frustrated at the putters he used when golfing. Using his knowledge and ingenuity, Solheim revolutionized the game of golf with his metal putter, the PING 1A.
In 1966 the big breakthrough for PING came when Solheim designed a new putter, called the Anser. The Anser instantly transformed the putting game, and to this day is known as the grandfather of the modern putter. Almost every putter seen on TV, in videogames, and even at mini golf courses is inspired by the original Ansers engineering.
Since then, PING golf clubs have expanded to more than just putters. Offering every type of club, PINGs golf clubs provide the same ingenuity and solid engineering which made them a household name among golfers for the last four decades. While PING golf clubs are most expensive than many other alternatives, when you buy PING you know youre getting a quality product with decades of success. And unlike many other brands, PING provides simple custom fitting options on their website; all you need to do is enter several easy-to-find-out numbers, and theyll create a static fitting just for you.
Although Golf Hall of Famer Karsten Solheim recently passed away, his legacy lives on in every PING golf club created and shipped, and to this day PINGs mission statement of helping golfers become better golfers stands strong.
