Dial In Your Golf Ball Like Never Before: Inside Our One-of-a-Kind PING Ballnamic Fitting Kiosk at the Haggin Oaks Golf Super Shop.
At Haggin Oaks, we have always believed that the right fit changes everything. Drivers. Irons. Putters. Shoes. And now, golf balls.
We are proud to introduce our one-of-a-kind PING Ballnamic Golf Ball Fitting Kiosk, the first in-store installation of its kind in the United States. This is not a guessing game. It is not a brand loyalty test. It is a data-driven, engineering-based system built by the team at PING, and it is available to you complimentary inside our Super Shop.
Why the Golf Ball Matters More Than You Think
Most golfers are fit for clubs, but very few are ever fit for the one piece of equipment they use on every single shot.
The golf ball influences:
- Launch angle
- Spin rates (driver, irons, wedges)
- Peak height
- Descent angle
- Greenside control
- Overall distance and consistency
Yet many golfers simply play what their buddy plays or whatever is on sale.
PING engineers noticed a disconnect years ago. When golfers are fit at the PING Proving Grounds in Phoenix, their baseline testing is typically done using a Titleist Pro V1 golf ball. It is a consistent benchmark ball across the industry.
But here is the issue.
If a golfer normally plays a Callaway SuperSoft, it launches differently. It spins differently. It flies differently. So if you are building clubs based on Pro V1 data but the golfer actually plays something else, you are missing critical information. And PING, being a family of engineers, does not like missing information.
The Engineering Behind Ballnamic
PING has tested hundreds of golf balls across the marketplace. Not just distance claims. Not just marketing slogans.
They have measured:
- Ball speed
- Driver spin and launch windows
- Iron descent angles
- Short-game spin thresholds
- Performance across different swing speeds
They built a massive database mapping how every ball performs under different player conditions. Then they built Ballnamic.
After a year and a half of development, that same technology used at their Proving Grounds is now available inside our golf shop.
How the Complimentary Ball Fitting Works
The process is simple, but the science behind it is powerful.
When you step up to our Ballnamic kiosk, you will input:
- Driver swing speed
- Launch angle
- Spin rates
- Peak height
- Descent angle
- Preferred shot shape
- What ball you currently play
If you have already been fit with TrackMan or through our Total Game Fitting ecosystem, we can plug in that data directly.
The system then:
- Compares your data against PING’s database of hundreds of balls
- Optimizes for your ideal launch and spin windows
- Ranks balls across brands based on performance for your swing
- Provides a personalized recommendation list
This is not a brand-specific answer. It is performance-based.
You might discover:
- The ball you are playing is costing you 8 to 10 yards off the tee
- Your current ball spins too little to hold firm greens
- You could gain peak height without increasing spin
- A different compression would improve your feel
Or you might find validation that you are already playing the right ball. Either way, you will leave smarter.
What Makes This Different
There are ball selector charts online. There are soft versus firm conversations in pro shops. This is different.
This is the same engineering logic PING uses when designing clubs for tour professionals, but applied to you.
Instead of fitting clubs around a generic benchmark ball, PING built a system that integrates how your actual golf ball influences your entire game.
That means:
- Better driver optimization
- More accurate iron gapping
- Improved stopping power
- Tighter dispersion
- And ultimately more confidence
Why We Brought This to Sacramento
At Haggin Oaks, we have built our reputation around Total Game Fitting. Driver. Irons. Wedges. Putter. Footwear. And now the golf ball.
When PING shared the opportunity to bring this kiosk in store, we knew it aligned perfectly with who we are: educators, fitters, and data-driven golf retailers.
They built the system. We are sharing it with you.
And the best part? It is completely complimentary. No pressure. No obligation. Just information.
If you are serious about lowering scores, or simply curious whether your current ball is truly optimized for your swing, stop by and experience the PING Ballnamic Golf Ball Fitting Kiosk for yourself.
You might discover that the smallest piece of equipment in your bag makes the biggest difference.
