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.
