Where it wins
- Looks88
- Distance82
- Feel82
Watch
Rated highest for looks and distance; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You want feedback through your hands and a blade fitted to your exact length.
You want a soft face, or you need help when you miss the middle.
Pros
- The shaft adjusts from 32 to 36 inches, so length is fitted rather than guessed
- Copper against black gives real alignment help and no glare over the ball
- A machined solid face that reports every strike straight to your hands
- Roll off the face is as true as anything at this money
Cons
- Firm by design, which will not suit anyone wanting a soft insert
- A classic blade with no perimeter weighting, so mishits cost you
By dimension
Forgiveness
SolidA traditional blade with weight placed for balance rather than spread wide, so misses cost you.
Distance
ExcellentThe solid face rolls the ball truly, and pace holds up as well as any blade at the price.
Workability
SolidModest toe hang suits a stroke with a gentle arc, releasing without wanting to shut.
Feel
ExcellentDeliberately firm, this being Ping's hard-faced line, and impact reports through the hands rather than cushioning.
Sound
StrongLow-pitched and crisp, and the note lifts just enough on a miss to tell you.
Looks at address
ExcellentCopper against black is among the sharpest finishes Ping has done, with a top line that pulls the eye square.
