What you need to know: Ping\u2019s G Le line has long been one of the most trusted names in women\u2019s golf equipment, and the G Le4 series continues that tradition with a modern, performance-driven approach.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur commitment to women\u2019s golf started in the 1970s with my grandparents, Karsten and Louise Solheim, and continues today with the Solheim Cup and other game-growing initiatives,\u201d said Stacey Pauwels, Ping executive VP, who oversees the development of Ping products made exclusively for women. \u201cThe G Le4 family offers a full set of performance-engineered, custom-built clubs that deliver added distance, unmatched forgiveness and a confidence-inspiring look.\u201d<\/p>\n
Price\/Availability: Driver: $650; Fairway woods: $355; Hybrids: $270 when purchased individually; $202.50 when purchased as iron\/hybrid combo set of five or more pieces; Irons: $202.50 each; Putters: $270-$325. Available now.<\/p>\n
1. Lightweight, but not light on performance. The G Le4 driver is Ping\u2019s longest and most forgiving women\u2019s driver to date, due in large part to the lightweight Carbonfly Wrap crown\u2014a first in a Ping women\u2019s driver. The crown allows for the reallocation of weight to position the center of gravity lower and deeper, helping deliver faster ball speeds and higher launch for women with driver swing speeds of 80 m.p.h. or less.<\/p>\n
A fixed 22-gram back weight is located on the heel side, contributing to a 15 percent higher moment of inertia compared to the G Le3, providing more ball-speed retention on mis-hits. The forged T9S+ face features a reshaped variable face thickness, providing consistent ball speeds across the face for more distance.<\/p>\n
Ping\u2019s hallmark crown turbulators and Vortec cavity provide aerodynamic efficiencies in the 460cc titanium head. The adjustable hosel allows the 11.5-degree head to be adjusted plus or minus 1.5 degrees of loft and up to a 3-degree flatter lie angle to dial in ball flight.<\/p>\n
2. Approach shots made easy. The fairway woods come in new lofts of 18, 23, 28 and 33 degrees to boost launch and also boast the CarbonFly Wrap crown to save weight.<\/p>\n
The 3- and 5-woods feature a maraging-steel cupface to optimize face flex for more yards while a variable-roll-radius innovation assists mis-hits, especially low on the face through more consistent spin.<\/p>\n
In the irons, forgiveness is achieved through a thin face and high-density tip and toe weights that position mass low and to the perimeter. The tip and toe weights also help achieve the optimal swing weight.<\/p>\n
The irons come in 6- through 9-iron with three wedge options (PW, UW, SW), and have Ping\u2019s multi-material PurFlex cavity badge which contributes to more consistent face flexing along with a pleasing feel and sound.<\/p>\n
For those preferring hybrids there are options galore, with four lofts (22, 26.5, 31 and 36 degrees.<\/p>\n
On the greens, there are three putter options to choose from: the blade-like Anser 2D, the mid-mallet Louise and the full-mallet Oslo.<\/p>\n
3. There\u2019s an app for that. In developing the G Le4, Ping\u2019s engineers made proper set gapping a priority. To make that easier to achieve, the WebFit Ladies app was developed. An easy-to-use, educational fitting tool, the app makes club and set make-up recommendations based on a series of questions about your game and preferences.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith multiple fairway woods, hybrids and irons optimized to the target swing speed, we\u2019re confident when custom-fit to the correct set configuration, women will see tremendous benefits from every club in their bag,\u201d Pauwels said. \u201cThe WebFit Ladies app is a great starting point for the fitting process. The app takes only a few minutes and helps educate golfers on the importance of custom fitting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What you need to know: Ping\u2019s G Le line has long been one of the most trusted names…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6859,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3019],"tags":[2480,3800,44,1649,3802,82,3801],"class_list":["post-6858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ping","tag-equipment","tag-g-le4","tag-golf","tag-ping","tag-ping-g-le4-clubs-for-women-what-you-need-to-know","tag-story","tag-womens"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6858"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6858\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
