Ranked as the leader in custom fitting

Fitting Chartin a recent consumer survey by a 3-to-1 margin, PING has trained thousands of fitters in order to bring the benefits of custom fitting to all golfers.

Factory-trained PING club fitters

spend three days at our plant in Phoenix, learning about PING products, how they are manufactured, and how to fit golf clubs "Karsten's way." The result is that every authorized PING Fitting Cart Account is staffed with knowledgeable, factory-trained personnel who are able to custom-fit a golfer for a complete set of PING golf clubs.

Every year, PING selects a fitter

whose commitment to club-fitting and service deserves special recognition. Selected from 65 regional finalists, the PING National Fitter of the Year for 2006 was Massengale Golf Academy in Spring, Texas.

2007 Fitter of the Year, Rob McNamara

2007 Fitter of the year"The combination of PING’s industry-leading fitting and superior product makes our job easier," said McNamara, who’s been at Farmington CC since 1994. "I have complete confidence in the product I’m fitting. It basically sells itself. I play the product so I know it works. As a fitter and a teacher, the tools and process allow me to demonstrate the difference fitting can make in our member’s games."

"The business model is also ideal for my situation," added McNamara, who in 1998 purchased the shop at Farmington. "We don’t need to carry large inventories of PING product. We basically fit someone on the range using the iron fitting cart and metal woods and place the order. PING ships it within 48 hours and everyone is happy."
