How to identify this generation
- PING and ZING sit either side of a colour-code dot on the cavity badge, with PHOENIX above and KARSTEN along the lower cavity.
What to notice in the specifications
- PING’s Classics page dates the ZING to January 1992 and describes its deeply indented trailing edge.
- The figures come from an Internet Archive capture of PING’s own US page dated 2003-09-08. The introduction year comes from that page; individual clubs may have been built later.
- Lie angles are PING’s standard specification for the black colour-code dot. PING fits lie angle with a colour-coded dot, so check the dot on a used PING iron against PING’s colour code chart before assuming these lies.
- PING’s ZING table lists the LW at 57° loft, the same loft as its LS row, while ZING 2 lists a 61° LW. The LW row is left out until a second source confirms it.
