Ping Karsten Series Putter
PING Karsten Series Anser 2 Putter
Karsten Solheim invented the putter as we know it.
A general electric engineer, Solheim was invited to a golf outing and found that putting was his major weakness. So he applied his engineering skills to the problem. The result was a putter with additional mass moved to the heel and toe. Although the putter looks familiar to today’s golfers, it was quite different from the familiar bulls-eye putters of the day. Solheim left GE in 1967 to found a golf equipment company and applied his thoughts on moment of inertia to the creation of the first cavity back clubs. Today, everyone copies his original designs.
The “Ping” comes from the distinctive sound of the original putters.
The new Karsten putters feature the same heel-and-toe weighting, and also include a new elastomer insert for enhanced feel. New cavity shapes have greatly increased the moment of inertia.

If you like heavier putters, try “The Heavy Putter”. I have one and love it.
