PING has a lot of options for this important part of your bag, from various fairway wood models and lofts to hybrids with adjustable lofts and lie angles, to Crossovers – which are half-hybrids and half-irons. Along with an interview, we’ll measure your ball speed and spin. This will inform a starting point for which of these options to begin with. Models vary in forgiveness and workability, and they offer different trajectories, aesthetics and feel. PING fairway woods and hybrids can be custom fit with a shaft type and flex to fit your swing speed, swing tendencies and ball-flight preference. To fine-tune your ball flight, your fitter will assess shaft characteristics such as flex and trajectory effect. Shaft flex is a measurement of how much a shaft bends under load. A shaft’s trajectory effect considers how variables such as weight, torque, and tip stiffness affect launch conditions. An optimization of yardage gaps and overall distance is achieved through a detailed ball-flight analysis. This is the ultimate step in refining and confirming model, lofts, lie angles and shafts.

PING MOMENTS IN HISTORY 1972 PING introduces the Color Coding System. This system distinguishes the lie angle of the club with a colored dot in the cavity. Golfers quickly see how having the right lie angle helps their game and begin to identify themselves with their particular color code.
