For a golfer, one of the most necessary things that he should examine is his golf club because based on experts, it is one of the main reasons why they do not hit the ball. This is the exact reason why the Ping golf club was born.

Karsten Solheim was the one who made the ping golf club with other intentions. The story has it that Karsten was practicing golf but he could not hit the ball so he started to practice up to the time that he started to layout and experiment his own putter so that he could play better by it. He thought of making his own putter without a figment of a thought that it was going to be known all over the world. By the year 1959, his putter experiments had evolved into 1A design. When deciding for the name, he noticed the sound of his putter and said proudly to his wife that he would name the putter from its sound, thus the name "ping". At that same year, Sports Illustrated published an article in their August issue regarding the ping golf club dubbing it as a musical putter.

This was the beginning of success for the ping golf club. At present, the Ping golf club is manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona by the Karsten Manufacturing Corporation. There are over 400 patents registered for the ping golf club and each of these designs are all innovative and very original designs that are suited for each and every golfer. Here are a few of their main patents and products:

In the year 1962, the Heel-toe weighting kind of ping golf club was granted patent. This design was the one that totally changed other new designs and golf clubs that are made in the market today. In the year 1969, another type of ping golf club was introduced which was the perimeter-weighted, investment-cast iron. The reason for this type of ping golf club is that the perimeter weighting is able to increase the moment of inertia thus when a ball is not struck squarely on the face it causes the club more forgiving. Another revolutionary movement for the ping golf club was the application of investment casting in the production of the K Series Irons. This is not actually a new technology, in fact the old name for it is the lost-wax method. The purpose of this type of process is to ensure precise detail and regularity to all of the parts of the ping golf club. A different kind of patent for the Ping golf club is the Cushin Selective Filtering Insert. It is a patented design which screens out and disperses the unwanted frequencies that can harmfully affect muscle, bone, and also connective tissue. Through this invention, the golfer receives less vibration with a better feel on each shot.

The reason the ping golf club is well-known and commonly used is because of its revolutionary, ever-changing yet trusted design. These designs are what people, especially golfers, recognize about ping golf club. Misplaced one of your ping golf clubs? Do not worry because serial numbers are here to save you! In each and every ping golf club, there are serial numbers which are etched on every PING iron. If ever there is a need to change one club, the company has the same specs at the time of manufacturing on record and could really build a new club to suit your set.
