How to Measure Ping Putters

Karsten Solheim, the founder of PING, made the first PING putter in 1959 in his own garage in Redwood City, California. Since that time, PING has grown and expanded its catalog of putters. Today you can find heel shafted and centered shafted PING putters, steel-faced and high-tech insert PING putters and classic- or mallet-styled PING putters. This array of choices can make it difficult to choose the right club. Complicating matters is the way PING measures its putters' lengths, which is slightly different from how other putter manufacturers measure putter length.

Instructions

    • 1

      Lay the putter on a flat surface with the heel toward you and the putter face pointing away from you.

    • 2

      Hold the end of the measuring tape against the top of the shaft.

    • 3

      Extend the measuring tape to the heel of the putter. Read the measuring tape at the heel to determine the PING putter's length. This is slightly different from how other manufacturers measure putter length; they measure to the sole of the club, not to the heel.
