3M science helps power the precision behind every golf club.
In this episode of FOS Engineered, sponsored by 3M, Front Office Sports goes inside PING’s headquarters to follow a single golf club from raw materials to finished product, revealing how engineering, craftsmanship, and advanced manufacturing come together to create one of the most important pieces of equipment in the game.
Throughout the process, 3M technologies play a meaningful role in helping enable consistency, durability, and performance. From adhesives that bond club components together to abrasives, tapes, and labels used across production, 3M products support key stages of manufacturing as PING builds clubs to exacting standards.
From preparing shafts and bonding club heads to custom fitting, quality control, and final assembly, every step is designed for precision. Viewers also get an inside look at “PING Man,” the company’s iconic robotic testing system, which has helped evaluate club designs for decades by measuring everything from durability to ball speed and forgiveness.
FOS Engineered is a Front Office Sports original series exploring the technology, manufacturing, and innovation driving the business of sports. From the products athletes use to the systems powering the industry’s biggest brands, each episode goes behind the scenes to uncover the engineering that makes sports possible.
