    Why We Like It

    • A faster face and a range of adjustable lofts make these hybrids among the most versatile in the game.
    • Ping lowered the face height by 8 percent and made it thinner. This encourages center-face contact for a higher launch and more ball speed.
    • A redesigned interior section of the hosel removes mass that helps to lower the center of gravity by 12 percent for higher launch and less spin.
    • A lightweight carbon-composite section wraps around the back half of the crown to make room for a rear sole weight for improved stability.
    • A slimmer rear section helps keep the sole flush to the ground so that the face angle changes less when the hosel is adjusted.
    • The specs of these hybrids target the players most likely to use them: The 2-hybrid is designed for faster swingers who prefer a lower, fade-bias ball flight, and the 3- and 4-hybrids have ample loft to help approach shots hold the greens.
    • Top 5 in Performance, low-, middle-, high-handicaps
    • 17, 20, 23, 26, 30, 34 degrees (with an eight-way adjustable hosel)
