Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness90
- Distance88
- Feel87
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You want one of the longest, most forgiving hybrids, with an easy high launch and a lovely feel.
You want a low-spin, workable players' head or the lowest price — a compact utility or value hybrid fits better.
Pros
- One of the top hybrids of its year — long and very forgiving
- A high, straight flight with a stable, crisp feel and deep sound
- An adjustable hosel for loft and lie
Cons
- A neutral, forgiveness-first head — little scope to shape shots
- Premium priced for a hybrid
- No movable weight — hosel tuning only
By dimension
Forgiveness
Class-leadingOne of the most forgiving hybrids of its year — a big, high-MOI head and low, deep weight hold a mishit fast and straight.
Distance
ExcellentGenuinely long — a hot, wrapping steel face and a low centre of gravity fire out strong pace and easy carry.
Workability
ModestA neutral, straight flyer — the hosel tunes loft and lie, but the big, forgiving head is built to fly true, not to shape.
Feel
ExcellentA high point — a solid, well-damped hit that pings off the face and gives sharp feedback, never harsh.
Sound
ExcellentA deep, muted note at impact — fuller and quieter than older Ping woods, clean and pleasing off the middle.
Looks at address
ExcellentA tidy, mid-to-large Ping shape under a dark carbon crown — simple and confident, nothing to distract over the ball.
