The G5 is another pure winner from Ping. It delivers really good ball speed off the face and a gorgeous launch angle. Plus, it's 'just heavy enough' that you can feel it's location throughout the entire swing. The only criticism I've heard about this club (and the G2) is that some players don't feel comfortable with the rounded sole (from toe to heel) - as compared to other woods that have a flatter sole. As for me, I actually prefer the rounded sole and find it's a whole lot easier to get the clubhead to 'cut' through thicker grass in the rough. Plus, it also works much better off of uphill & downhill lies, as the curved sole 'bottoms out' below the sweetspot and doesn't allow the toe or heel to twist the clubhead on those awkward lies.
In purchasing this club, I was looking for a club not too big and a not so shallow face. This club is perfect. The face is the perfect size; hit it off the tee or off the fairway. It doesn't matter. Sounds sweet and is as long as any three wood out there. The Ping TFC 100F shaft sets the height of the shots just right. Best looking club out there and the only negative I would have is that a high-handicap golfer might need to try something else. It not the forgiveness, it just the top of the club can't take any skymarks. It will easily scratch. I have a slight mark on mine from making a hit out of light rough. Should have used my hybrid anyway. So to stop this short, the club is very forgiving and very long. You can't go wrong with this club.
The Ping G5 Fairway woods are a quality buy at this time. The G5 design has a low center of gravity which aids in getting the ball up. The ULT 50 shaft for ladies has good flex and the ball climbs quickly for a ladies club. Ping also offers a soft regular shaft in the G5 for slower swing speed. The G5 does comes with a regular and stiff shaft for men. The ProLaunch Blue shaft is offered as well. With the new G10s on the market, the G5 fairway woods are a great value buy at this time.
I purchased a PING G5 3 Wood with a 455 SS face and a 13 degree loft. The shaft is a graphite TCF 100 F X-stiff. I had already tested this model of the G5 3 Wood at my local pro shop, so I knew the specifications, including loft angle and shaft type, were what I wanted. I also liked the countour of the club head. The 13 degree loft is shallow compared to other stock 3 Woods. PING has actually increased the loft in this year's model (G10) to 15 degrees because golfers were complaining about the difficulty in getting sufficent loft hitting the G5 3 Wood from the fairway. I use this club almost exclusively off the tee rather than hitting it from the fairway. My swing speed is around 97-100mph and this club creates a lower trajectory which allows me to achieve more distance. Although I'm currently hitting from heated tees in 25 degree weather in Michigan, I'm hitting this club approximately 230-250 yards depending upon wind and weather conditions. I look forward to seeing how the club performs in warm weather conditions.Vollständige Rezension lesen
I bought this club to replace one that was loaned to me when I first started playing 8 months ago at age 64. I was handed down a set of Ping G5 clubs and Ping eye irons. Among them was a G5 7 wood. As a novice, I tried each club in the bag to find my favorite. The 7 wood won out. It is very forgiving and the flexible shaft adds to energy transfer to the ball. I gave back the club when I found out it was passed on in error. I am glad to find this replacement. I play on a 9 hole 1200 yard links course and the 7 wood is perfect for the tee shot on short holes and a second shot on the longest. My friends who own them love their G5s. Since they are not the front line club anymore, they are available used for a nice price. These sold for around $200 new as my research has revealed. They are still a great club. I feel confident with this club in my hand and confidence is a big part of performance. The only club I like better is the Ping eye 7 iron. It is great for my short game, I can even putt from off the green with it.Vollständige Rezension lesen
