Why we like it
With 25 stock options and six sole grinds, Ping wants to help as many kinds of swings as possible deliver the club efficiently through the turf. Spin is another important area of emphasis. The design of the grooves changes depending on the loft. Lower lofts feature volume to channel maximum debris on full shots. Grooves on the higher lofts (54 to 62 degrees) are tightly spaced so that the edges contact the ball cleanly. Throw in a friction-adding face blast, and you get more bite than an angry Rottweiler.
- The Hydropearl 2.0 chrome finish helps repel moisture.
- A consumer app offers advice on grind and gapping.
- Input from tour pros led to a head shape and hosel transition.
- 25 options (46-62 degrees); 6 sole grinds; 1 finish

“Feels as good as it performs. Shots elevate quickly. Very versatile. I can create spin, get under the ball and escape the sand with ease.”
