How to Understand Ping Golf Sizes
If you are in the market for Ping golf clubs, understanding the company's unique "Color Code" system will help you select the best set for your game. Ping's color codes refer to "lie angle," which is the angle between the club's shaft and the sole in relation to its length, according to Ping.com.

Ping uses its "5 Step Fitting Process" and a detailed questionnaire that incorporates your physical characteristics and limitations, handicap, frequency of play, current equipment, and other essential details into a formula for a proper fitting.
