PING Clubs
In 1959, a General Electric engineer named Karsten Solheim was dissatisfied with the putters available on the market. He designed a new one in his garage, calling it the "Ping 1A" because of the sound the metal blade made when it contacted the ball. The Ping putter's head was weighted at the heel and toe, which created a larger sweet spot in the middle of the clubface.
