The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe Ping Karsten 1959 Zing carries a single release on record, arriving in 2011. That one entry stands as the whole of the line as we hold it, a single point rather than an evolving arc, so what we can speak to is that release itself and what golfbluebook.com reported about it.
Per golfbluebook.com, the 2011 Zing came in stainless steel with a non-glare satin finish, built on a classic heel-toe balance head design and weighing in at 355 grams, fitted with a soft elastomer cavity insert. The publication also listed an MSRP of 100.00 USD. These figures are golfbluebook.com's reporting, not a Ping-verified spec sheet, and should be read with that attribution intact.
Taken together, the picture golfbluebook.com paints is of a traditional heel-toe putter dressed in Ping's heritage naming, softened at contact by an elastomer insert rather than left as bare milled steel. Where the line goes from here, or has been elsewhere, isn't something this single 2011 row can answer on its own.
