First impressions
This is a very strong 3 wood with just 13˚ of loft. It’s what previously might have been referred to as a driving 3 wood but Ping say this club is much more versatile than that and not just a product which is going to hit it out there flat.

Personally, I love the idea of a strong 3 wood as I like to hit 3 wood regularly from the tee as I feel it helps me keep my rhythm better during a round rather than just hitting driver all the time.
The trade-off with a club like this would be that you are not going to get any use out of it from the deck. But this club sits really tightly to the floor – much more so than the Ping G30 3 wood. If you look at the sole you can see it is much flatter so it rests perfectly on the ground when addressing the ball. This makes it look much more appealing to hit.
The Tech
Unsurprisingly Ping say this club is engineered to stretch your distance off the tee and from shots into the green with its larger head, slightly forward CG, 13° loft, and lower spin.
