Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks90
- Forgiveness85
- Distance83
Watch
Rated highest for looks and forgiveness; its softest dimension is workability.
You want the most stable, most aimable head Ping makes and you putt on a straight line.
You want a soft face or a compact shape behind the ball.
Pros
- The highest inertia in the line, so mishits barely move the face
- Fourteen converging dots give the strongest aiming picture Ping offers
- Length adjusts through four inches for a proper fit
- A slightly quicker face than its siblings, which helps on long putts
Cons
- The firmest face in the family, which will not suit anyone wanting softness
- A very large head that some will not want to look down on
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentA cored-out body wrapped in steel with the mass low and back, the steadiest head Ping put in this line.
Distance
ExcellentThe milled face is the quickest in the family, and the ball comes off a shade hotter.
Workability
ModestFace-balanced and enormous, so it holds square through a straight stroke rather than releasing.
Feel
StrongThe firmest face Ping was making at the time, which is a deliberate choice rather than an oversight.
Sound
StrongA short, low report that tightens on a miss and tells you little else.
Looks at address
Class-leadingFourteen dots drawn in from the back like runway lights, the clearest aiming picture Ping has built.
