Club Fitting Experts 2nd Swing Named PING Golf Fitter of the Year
Extensive custom golf club fitting experience earned 2nd Swing regional fitter of the year honors from PING.
Online, April 7, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Club fitting experts 2nd Swing, an online retailer of used golf clubs with store locations in the Minneapolis area, announced today that they have been named the regional PING club fitter or the year for 2009. Given the honor for the North Central US region, one of five regions nationally, 2nd Swing was recognized by PING for its continuing commitment to custom golf club fitting and its value to golfers of all abilities.
"2nd Swing's staff shares our belief that if golfers take the time to get custom fit, they'll see improved performance on the golf course," said John A. Solheim, PING Chairman & CEO. "They demonstrate their expertise on a daily basis to ensure golfers receive the full value offered by PING's custom fitting program. 2nd Swing's staff's commitment to our program makes them very deserving of this honor."
The PING fitting system can help golfers hit straighter, more consistent shots by matching club specifications to swings using a color coded chart and a special tape affixed to the bottom of golf clubs that records where the user is striking the ground. Clubs are then fit based on data recorded in the swing session. 2nd Swing provides custom club fitting at its Minneapolis and Minnetonka, MN, locations.
"We're very humbled to receive this honor," said Russ Higgins, President of 2nd Swing. "Our staff is dedicated to providing customers with clubs that improve their game, and we are able to achieve that goal with the PING fitting system."

About Ping
Ping designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of golf equipment including metal woods, irons, putters, and golf bags. The family-owned company was founded in 1959 in the garage of the late Karsten Solheim, a mechanical engineer with an extensive background in the aerospace and computer industries. His frustration with his putting inspired him to design his own putter, which created a "pinging" sound when striking a golf ball. This sound was the source of the name now synonymous with innovation, quality and service throughout the world of golf. For more information, visit pinggolf.com.
