Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness90
- Sound88
- Feel87
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and sound; its softest dimension is workability.
You leak the ball right and want the most forgiving, best-sounding slice-cure Ping makes, at normal swing weight.
You draw the ball already or shape it both ways — a neutral Max or low-spin LST fits better.
Pros
- A top slice-corrector with the softest, best sound an SFT has had
- A freed hosel adds speed and off-centre help over the G430 SFT
- Adjustable draw strength, plus a Golf Digest 2025 Hot List Gold
Cons
- Draw-biased only — you set the strength, not remove it
- Built for a slicer, not a strong, straight or fading ball-striker
- Only a small step over the G430 SFT for distance
By dimension
Forgiveness
Class-leadingHugely stable for a draw driver — a deep, freed-up weight holds ball speed on a mishit, even low on the face.
Distance
StrongSolid distance for an anti-slice head — a freed hosel adds a little pop, and straighter shots go further.
Workability
ModestDraw-only, but dialable — a movable weight picks a standard or stronger turn, with no fade on offer.
Feel
ExcellentA clean, damped strike — soft and solid, the best an SFT has felt from Ping.
Sound
ExcellentA quiet, muted note — much softer than older anti-slice heads, and the best-sounding SFT yet.
Looks at address
ExcellentA full-size head sitting a shade shut at address, with a neat carbon crown — plainly shaped to draw the ball back.
