Ping Golf Equipment And Ping Golf Merchandise Information

If there's a PING in your swing, it's got to be Karsten. For more than 20 years, Karsten Manufacturing Corporation (KMC), the maker of Ping golf equipment, has been one of the top golf companies in the world. The concept for KMC began modestly in the garage of Karsten Solheim in the 1950s when Solheim decided to design a club to better his own golf game.

Solheim's fledgling, garage-based putter company grew steadily over the years, and today, his Ping golf clubs are a well-known name among golfers everywhere. With more than 25 million men and women participating in the game of golf today and spending $15 billion a year on equipment, the competition for market leadership in the golf club industry is red hot for Ping golf clubs.

Ping golf clubs are named for the sound they make when striking the ball. Karsten's offerings also include the PING TiSI titanium driver (which the company claims can improve the distance of a player's drive), G2 and i3 clubs, PING PAL youth clubs, golf bags and other accessories, and apparel.

"Every golfer has a different need when it comes to golf clubs," says Kent Crossland, Director of Information Systems for Karsten Manufacturing Corporation. "That is why KMC believes so strongly in the concept of custom-fit, custom-built golf clubs. It's what makes us different from our competitors. We truly want each customer to be completely satisfied with every Ping golf club they purchase."

Ping's focus on service has been proven over time to be of great value to it's customers, and is an important part of our commitment to provide the best service possible. This focus on customer service extends to a number of areas including custom club fitting, matching the specs of the club to the individual golfer, and even shipping clubs within 48 hours of receiving the order.

Ping Golf Equipment And Merchandise

• Rapture Irons - Rapture Iron relies on strategic use of titanium, steel and tungsten to create a high-performance, multi-material iron. Careful analysis and application of each material yields forgiveness and trajectory improvements while creating a face and cavity design that produces a solid, pleasing feel and sound.
• G5 Irons- G5 Irons provide forgiveness and consistency across the club face. By designing a deeper, parallel cavity, the sole is widened to allow the center of gravity (CG) to be positioned lower and further from the face for higher launching, more accurate results. The large Custom Tuning Port (CTP) stabilizes the face and dampens vibration to ensure a solid, pleasing feel.
• I5 Irons - The mid-size, perimeter-weighted head features less offset than the G5 iron while sharing many of the G5's proven design characteristics, including the solid feel achieved through the Custom Tuning Port (CTP). The i5's lead edge and bounce angles are engineered to ensure a smooth, forgiving transition through the turf and from the rough.
• S58 Irons - The ball fight and distance control preferred by players seeking to compete at the highest levels is achieved through strategic placement of the center of gravity (CG)—further back in the long irons and moved forward in the short irons.
