The Collector's Guide to Ping Golf Balls

This is an unofficial website for collectors of Ping Golf Balls. This site provides background information about the hobby of collecting Ping golf balls and about the types and color combinations manufactured and distributed by Karsten.

The Ping golf balls were manufactured for about twenty years — 1976 is the copyright date on the early boxes, and 1997 is the last year that the golf balls appeared in the Karsten wholesale catalogs sent to golf pro shops. Learn more about the complete production history of these iconic two-tone balls.

Collecting Ping golf balls is an interesting hobby that offers a great group of friendly fellow collectors. Displaying the collection in one of those decorative golf ball racks makes an impressive display, albeit a pricey one. There are still good deals to be found on Ping balls, both new and used, but the supply of inexpensive two-color balls continues to dwindle each year.

Nike Colored Golf Balls

In 2004, Nike offered their first colored golf balls to the market. They offered an all black ball as a special promotion for their Nike One Black golf ball line, and later they added one solid colored ball per dozen to their Mojo line of golf balls.

The Nike balls make an impressive display as well, so part of this site covers Nike colored golf ball info. As of 2007, Nike chose to discontinue the Mojo colored golf balls, so red, purple, orange, and silver are the only Mojo colors available to collectors.
