The Ping Golf Club
from: Phyllis WassermanThe Ping Golf Club: An Overview
For a golfer, one of the most important things that he should
examine is his golf club because according to 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 invented the ping golf club with
different 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 began to design and experiment
his very own putter so that he could play better through it. He
thought of designing his own putter without a figment of a
though that it would be known worldwide. By the year 1959, his
putter experiments had evolved into 1A design. While deciding
for the name, he heard the sound of his putter and declared
proudly to his wife that he would name the putter from its
sound, hence 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 Karsten Manufacturing Corporation. There are more than 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 some of their key
patents and products:
In the year 1962, the Heel-toe weighting type of ping golf club
was granted patent. This design was the one that
revolutionalized other modern designs and golf clubs that are
manufactured 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 makes the club more forgiving. Another
innovative movement for the ping golf club was the application
of investment casting in the manufacture of the K Series Irons.
This is not really a new technology in fact; the old name for it
is the lost-wax process. The purpose of this type of method is
to ensure precise detail and consistency to all of the parts of
the ping golf club. Another type of patent for the Ping golf
club is the Cushin Selective Filtering Insert. This is a
patented invention which screens out and disperses the unwanted
frequencies that can harmfully affect muscle, bone, and
connective tissue. Through this invention, the golfer receives
less vibration with greater feel on each shot.
The reason why the ping golf club is popular and widely used is
because of its innovative, ever-changing yet reliable design.
These designs are what people, particularly golfers, recognize
about ping golf club. lost one of your ping golf clubs? Do not
worry because serial numbers are here to save you! In every ping
golf club, there are serial numbers which are etched on every
PING iron. If ever there is a need to replace one club, the
company has the exact specs at the time of manufacturing on file
and could actually build a new club to match your set.
