2. Best Fairway woods 2018: Ping G400

Best fairway woods 2018

This club has been in my bag pretty much since it was launched in autumn 2017.

It has a lovely sound and feel off the new maraging steel face and works really well on heel and toe strikes.

I’ve found this club to be really reliable if I need to hit it 220-230 and need to be a bit more accurate than I can be with my driver.

As I’ve said, a 3-wood is very much a driver alternative for me but out of all the models I have tested this year, the G400 fill me with the most confidence when I do hit it off the deck.

It just seems to sit nice and flush to the ground making it seem easier to sweep the ball away.

Also, I use the Ping G400 Max driver and the shafts are very similar so I don’t feel like there’s a massive change in feel when switching between the two.

That’s something very personal to me but is definitely something to think about when going through the fitting process.

SRP: £240
