Our take: This year, Ping loses its familiar Turbulators from the crowns of its fairway woods and hybrids, replacing them with three alignment dots. How did our testers like the new look? “This alignment aid is so much better,” one tester declared. Testers also found that the low-profile designs made getting the ball in the air much easier than with other clubs.
The details: Fittingly called Facewrap technology, the new face now wraps around the crown and sole to provide more ball speed and launch. Ping also increased curvature on the face to especially help with the low miss. For golfers with differing needs, such as lower spin or draw-bias, Ping placed tungsten weights in strategic spots on the soles of the three options.
