Where it wins
- Looks90
- Feel86
- Sound86
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt straight back and through and want the most stable blade Ping mills.
Your stroke arcs, or you want softness at impact.
Pros
- The steadiest of Ping's 2025 milled blades without becoming a mallet
- Genuinely face-balanced, so a straight stroke is properly fitted
- A recess behind the ball that makes aiming straightforward
- Milled from a single block of stainless over several hours
Cons
- No toe hang worth the name, so an arcing stroke gets nothing from it
- The shallow mill runs firm, which will not suit anyone after a soft face
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentThe widest body of the three new blades, with mass right out at the corners to steady a miss.
Distance
ExcellentBall speed comes off level across a broad face, so a strike off centre still travels.
Workability
ModestA spud neck and double bend between them leave almost nothing hanging, so the face stays put.
Feel
ExcellentCut shallow for firmness, giving a hard, clean contact that tells you where the ball went.
Sound
ExcellentA short, low report with no ring to it, dulling slightly as you drift from centre.
Looks at address
Class-leadingSoftened corners on a broad head, and a recess behind deep enough to settle the eye.
