Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Distance90
- Looks88
- Feel87
Watch
Rated highest for distance and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You swing fast and want the lowest-spin, longest, most workable 3-wood, and will pay for it.
You have a moderate swing or want easy forgiveness — the G440 Max costs far less and helps more.
Pros
- A titanium face and low spin deliver elite ball speed and a fast, running flight
- Far more forgiving than a compact low-spin head usually is
- A refined, compact look and a crisp, solid feel for the better player
Cons
- Very expensive — the priciest fairway in the line
- Low-launching and demanding — it needs a strong, fast swing
- A little loud and poppy on off-centre strikes
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentMore forgiving than a low-spin head has any right to be — a freed, deep-set weight steadies the compact head on a miss.
Distance
Class-leadingA rocket — a high-strength titanium face and forward mass give elite ball speed, low spin and a running, boring flight.
Workability
SolidA small, low-spin head a strong striker can bend either way — square in the neutral setting, ready to be worked.
Feel
ExcellentA firm, solid strike — a crisp click off the middle, and your hands know at once whether you found it.
Sound
ExcellentA tight, solid click off the centre — a shade sharper and poppier on a miss, the one nod to Ping's earlier woods.
Looks at address
ExcellentThe most compact of the family — a trim, triangular head with a refined faded crown that sits square and clean.
