PING PAL 4 Putter – Vintage Karsten MFG / Made in USA 9/10 35″

The PING PAL 4 is one of the classic Karsten-era putters that helped build PING’s reputation for practical, performance-led putter design. It carries the traditional Made in U.S.A. and Karsten MFG. Corp. Phoenix, AZ. 85068 stamping in the cavity, along with the U.S. Patent 4,527,799 marking and the distinctive PAL 4 model stamp on the toe.

At address, the PAL 4 offers a compact blade look with a slightly squared profile, plumber-neck style hosel and clean sightline. It is not a large modern mallet or high-MOI shape — it is a proper vintage blade putter with a simple, direct feel and classic PING balance.

The putter is fitted with a black Lamkin Deep Etched grip, giving it a comfortable modern playing feel while still keeping the club’s vintage character. The head shows visible play wear, surface marks and age-related patina, while the shaft also shows cosmetic ageing and wear as seen in the photos. This is part of the charm of a genuine older PING putter and gives the club an honest, used collector look.

This PAL 4 is ideal for someone who wants a playable vintage PING, a nostalgic Karsten MFG piece, or a classic blade putter with proper old-school character.
