Ping G10 hybrid
Any reservations about quite a large utility head were dispelled on hitting this club. Crisp contact and easy to flight, I was soon going after it with complete confidence. But I’d probably need to temper my ambitions a shade from thicker grades of rough.
Why you can trust Golf Monthly
G10 hybrids feature sloped crowns and internal weight pads in the sole to push the centre of gravity low and back, facilitating an easy high-launching ball flight. The range of lofts means you can “phase out” anything from your 1-iron to your 6-iron.
