Fitting Cart Program
PING's Fitting Cart Program
is a continuation of Karsten Solheim's pioneering work in custom-fitting. There are over 2,000 Iron Fitting Carts at golf courses and off-course locations around the United States. An additional 1,900+ Metal Wood and 2,000+ Putter Fitting Systems provide you with the opportunity to have every club in your bag custom-fit to you.
Ranked as the leader in custom fitting
in 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 3 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 clubfitting 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.

In Golf Datatech's 2006 Custom Golf Club Fitting survey, consumers again chose PING as the undisputed fitting leader, with 52% of the votes, three times more than the next closest brand.
"We joined the PING team because of their great fitting tradition and knew that they would continue to produce products that could be customized to fit all of our client's wide variety of needs. We are confident that whenever PING comes out with a new product, it will outperform its predecessor. Quite Frankly, PING was a perfect fit for us."
