PING Putters: Pioneering Innovation

PING is one of the most influential names in golf, and its legacy in putter design dates back to 1959 when founder Karsten Solheim revolutionized the industry with the original PING 1A putter. Solheim, an engineer by trade, applied scientific principles to putter design, leading to groundbreaking innovations that changed the way golfers approached putting.

One of PING’s most significant contributions was the invention of perimeter weighting, first introduced in the iconic PING Anser putter in 1966. This design redistributed weight to the heel and toe, increasing forgiveness and stability—features that are now industry standards. The Anser remains one of the most copied putter designs in history and continues to be used by top professionals.

PING putters are known for their precision engineering, high-MOI designs, and extensive fitting options. The company has continued to push innovation with technologies like TR (True Roll) face milling, which normalizes ball speed across the face, and adjustable-length shafts for optimized setup. Recent models, such as the PING PLD (Putting Lab Design) series and the latest PING putter lineup, offer a mix of classic and modern designs tailored to different stroke types.

Today, PING putters remain a staple on professional tours, with numerous victories attributed to their performance. The brand continues to be at the forefront of putter technology, offering high-quality craftsmanship and cutting-edge designs that appeal to both elite players and everyday golfers worldwide.
