Karsten 1959 Zing

The Ping Karsten 1959 Zing sits inside the Zing model line under the Karsten 1959 series designation, per golfmonthly.com's reporting. That is the extent of what our files hold on this particular release, but it's worth placing against what the Zing head represents within Ping's broader catalog: a mallet-adjacent shape that has always run alongside the Anser in Ping's history, offering golfers an alternative face and weighting profile without straying from the brand's core milling philosophy.

Where the Karsten 1959 branding fits into Ping's own naming conventions for this release isn't something we can speak to beyond the series label itself. Readers who want to know how this particular Zing compares to other Karsten 1959 releases in the Anser or Piper heads, or to standard-issue Zing putters outside that series, will want to look at those entries directly and draw their own comparison, since our record here is limited to the one attributed fact above.
