The new iPING 2.0 putter app provides authorized PING club fitters and retailers a precise and easy-to-use a tool to ensure golfers experience a tour-level putter fitting from golf’s leader in custom fitting. The patented technology measures and analyzes five key performance indicators in the putting stroke; 1) closing angle; 2) impact angle; 3) tempo; 4) lie angle and 5) shaft lean. These stroke metrics, combined with detailed input from the golfer, are analyzed by a proprietary fitting algorithm which recommends the proper stroke type, length, loft, lie and weight for a PING putter. The iPING 2.0 app offers five modes: 1) Guided Fit: Club fitting professionals recommend putter specifications by considering a variety of metrics; wrist-to-floor measurements, posture, gripping style, miss tendencies, green speed and speed performance in conjunction with hitting five (5) 10 ft. putts. In this mode, putter comparisons can also be made and quantified. 2) Single Putt: Club fitting professionals recommend putter specifications by capturing three (3) 10 ft. putts. Ideal for golf shop settings and quickly classifying a player’s Stroke Type. 3) Practice session: Allows club fitting and teaching professionals to measure single-stroke metrics during a putting lesson. 4) Live Loft and Lie: Allows club fitting and teaching professionals to measure loft and lie in real-time. 5) Co-Pilot Mode: Using PING Co-Pilot on the computer, tablet, or mobile device, this mode will allow fitters to seamlessly pair iPING on iOS to PING Co-Pilot for a new and updated putter fitting experience. At this time, the iPING 2.0 app is intended for use by authorized PING retailers and club fitters only. All technical support and availability of accessories will only be available to authorized PING club fitters and retailers.

Our latest app is more powerful and easier to use than ever: REFRESHED AND REFINED USER INTERFACE All data is presented intuitively, with simple, bold graphics that are easy to read indoors and out. DATA PARAMETERS WITH CORRIDORS Practice more efficiently by focusing on the numbers that matter most to you. With Corridors, you can set ideal ranges for each data parameter. For every shot, any parameter that’s within your designated range will be highlighted green; any shot outside the range will be highlighted red. TRAJECTORY AND SHOT DISPERSION See trajectory and shot dispersion for each club in your bag and identify gaps in your yardages. PERFORMANCE CENTER FEATURING STROKES GAINED Enhanced for players of all levels, Performance Center uses a strokes-gained scoring system — based on TrackMan data collected from PGA Tour professionals — to help you practice specific shots and situations you might face during competitive play. SWING VIDEO WITH DATA PARAMETERS Simple swing recordings using the TrackMan Camera app are instantly available for analysis using drawing tools — all right next to the selected data parameters. CLUB DATA VISUALIZATIONS See where you hit the ball and how the club head was moving and oriented at the time of maximum compression.

Next-generation putting intelligence helps you unleash your potential by focusing on all aspects of the putting game. A groundbreaking collection of data points provides accurate information on the club, ball and green, together with enhanced video analysis and feedback. MULTI-LANGUAGE SUPPORT The app is available in English, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Spanish and Korean so you can work more efficiently in the language of your choice.
