Karsten Company Description
If there's a PING in your swing, it's got to be Karsten. Founded in 1959 after Karsten Solheim designed a revolutionary putter in his garage, Karsten Manufacturing designs and manufactures customized PING golf clubs; the clubs are named for the sound they make when striking the ball. Karsten's offerings also include the PING titanium driver (which the company claims can improve the distance of a player's drive), G5 and i5 clubs, youth clubs, golf bags and other accessories, and apparel. John A. Solheim, the founder's youngest son, leads the family-owned company.
