Ping was founded by Karsten Solheim in 1959 and it is regarded as one of the world's leading golf club manufacturers. Players who use Ping equipment include two-time major champion Angel Cabrera, 2010 British Open winner Louis Oosthuizen and Lee Westwood -- the world's top ranked golfer as of November 2010. The Ping Zing 2 series -- introduced in 1994 -- features the similar extreme perimeter weighting as its predecessor -- the Zing -- which expands the hitting area and provides more forgiveness and accuracy.
