We put Ping's brand new 1A polo to the test in this review.

Ping Collection 1A Putter Polo Shirt Review
In our 2021 Editor’s Choice list we picked the Frequency polo thanks to a combination of performance and an aesthetic design that harkens back to the very foundation of the Ping brand. Well in 2022 the brand has done more of the same with the 1A Putter Polo shirt.
Homage to Heritage
The most recent Ping Collection of apparel is all about referencing Ping’s heritage and it does not get more significant than the 1A Putter. As such this polo has a special edition print pattern which features clean, angular shapes, referencing the revolutionary putter crafted in 1959 by Karsten Solheim. This putter gave birth to almost all modern heel and toe weighted putters and launched Ping onto the world’s stage. In fact it was this putter that gave the brand its very name as well thanks to the pinging sound off the putter face. The shirt is available in two colors, black and blue surf, and comes in sizes ranging from small to 3XL.
Proprietary Technology
Performance is not limited to the aesthetics though because at the heart of this polo is Ping’s SensorCool technology. This fabric technology system has been designed to make sure every product deals with the demands of the game of golf. As such it ensures moisture is wicked away from the skin and evaporated to keep the wearer comfortable, freedom of movement is ensured thanks to a combination of polyester, elastane and recycled content, and it is also highly crease-resistant so requires no ironing if dried correctly.
To conclude, Ping is a brand with a storied and successful history in the game of golf and and this polo offers a distinctly unique and modern take on that, without compromising on performance. As such it is one of the best men's golf shirts money can buy. However we would also recommend taking a look at the rest of the new Ping Collection range because from the Angus, to the Focus, there is something for everyone.
