Introducing this Vintage Ping Karsten I 3-Iron, an early cavity-back iron designed by legendary club designer Karsten Solheim.

Manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona, this model represents one of Ping’s foundational designs that helped revolutionize golf club engineering through perimeter weighting and improved forgiveness.

The Karsten I series predates the famous Ping Eye and Eye2 irons, making these clubs an important part of Ping’s early design history.

This club features the Ping ZZ Lite steel shaft, a lightweight steel shaft known for stability and consistent feel.

A great option for golfers completing a vintage Ping iron set or collectors of classic Ping equipment.
