The first thing every golfer must do, if he is to be good at his game, is to strike the ball properly. In order to do this, the golfer must have a set of clubs that will accomplish this task and that is what the Ping golf club is for. First and foremost--striking the ball.

Karsten Solheim was the inventor of the Ping golf club who had a new way of looking at the golf club.

According to the story Karsten was not himself a great ball-striker and he started to wonder about creating a club that would help him hit the ball better. His intention was not to become world-famous, but simply to better-enable his own game.

By 1959 Karsten's experiments in putting and putter-design had evolved into his now-famous 'ping' putter which is nothing more than an inspiration of the sound the club makes when it hits the ball--"ping".

In the same year, Sports Illustrated published an article in their August issue about  the new ping golf club labelling it the 'musical putter'.

From this point on everything was uphill for the Ping golf club and a multitude of golfers were eager to get themselves a Ping golf set to add to their collection of golf sets.

Today the Ping golf club is a U.S. company which is located in Phoenix, Arizona (Karsten Manufacturing Corporation.) There are an excess of four-hundred patents registered for the ping golf club and the unique designs uphold the innovation and practical appeal golfers have found in all Ping sets.

The now renowned Heel-toe weighting type of Ping golf club was patented in '62. This design literally revolutionalized the way that golf clubs were manufactured.

Then again, in '69 yet another type of Ping golf club was announced known as the perimeter-weighted, investment-cast iron. Concept behind this type of ping golf club is simply that the perimeter weighting is cabpable increasing the moment of inertia. In this way, when a ball is not struck squarely on the face the club allows for it and the golf ball is not sent as far off-course as it otherwise might be.

Still another creative idea for the Ping golf sets was the application of investment casting in the construction of the K Series Irons. In fact this is not strictly a novel technology as the old name for it was the lost-wax process but the purpose of this method is to assure exacting detail and reliability to all of the parts of the Ping golf club.

Finally a patent for the Ping golf club was created known as the Cushin Selective Filtering Insert.

This is a registered invention screens out and diseminates the undesirable frequencies that can bear upon one's muscle, bone, and connective tissue while golfing. By means of this invention, the golfer receives vibrations via the club, yes, but to a lesser extent, and with greater tactility on each shot.

The  Ping golf club is today popular among both amateur and professional golfers alike.  This is partly because of its advanced, ever-changing yet dependable design.

These designs are what golfers recognize about the Ping golf club and golf sets. And if you have lost one of your Ping golf clubs you have no need for panic,  because serial numbers are  there to save your bacon. 

In every Ping golf club, there are serial numbers  which the golf iron has etched onto every Ping product.  Have a    need to replace one club? The company has precise  specs at the time of construction of the golf set on file and can actually put together a new club to match your golf set.

What I would do is to go into one of your local Public Country Clubs and ask them to help you with Ping's "Color Chart" You might also go to one of the big Golf Chains if you live near one, (like Nevada Bob's). Once you get fitted either buy it from them or if you are thrifty, you can then buy them on eBay.

You want to use their fitting cart- you can find one locally- I traveled to find an outdoor fitting center, because I wished to see my ball flight. getting the proper code will make a huge difference in your game.

The dot color on Ping irons refers to the lie adjustment of the clubs. Every Ping iron has a colored dot found on the club. Most are found on the hossle of the club. A black dot refers to a standard lie. A red dot refers to approximately 1 degree flat and so on.

You might want to check out the Ping website...theres a chart and suggestions for players based on their height , arm length, and size of hand in order for them to fit a player uniquely with proper clubs... each color indicates a lie angle, (where the club sole lies against the ground when addressing the ball) the correct lie angle will improve your swing results by creating more precise contact with the ball...
