- PING G5
- Street Price: $220.
- Specs: Six lofts (13, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27 degrees).
- KEY TECHNOLOGY: A large, stainless-steel head with a CG that moves progressively back as the woods get shorter to create the ideal trajectory for each club. The weight-saving 455 stainless-steel face is plasma-welded to the body.
- PANELIST COMMENTS: “This is my favorite so far. I hit it straight and far. . . . It has a more user-friendly head shape on the golf course than its bigger brother.”
- JUDGE’S VERDICT: The simple yet confidence-inspiring shape combined with a hot face are what make it great.
- Hot: The half-moon alignment aid works.
- Not: Why call the 11-wood an “L-wood”? It’s confusing.
- A fairway wood with 5-iron loft could be a lifesaver.
