Summary:
I’ve owned numerous fairway woods since started playing golf several years ago. But non of them have been my “Bread & Butter” club. Especially on the day my driver is off or on tight fairway situations. I was fortunate to find a pair of demo G5 3 and 5 wood on sale. So I tested them. G5 head size is perfect, looks fantastic and gives me confidence at take up. I had both of them reshafted with Graphite Design Tour AD Quattrotech and took them out on course for the 1st time. They were very impressive. I used the 3 wood at the T-Box on nearly every hole. It was very “HOT” of the tee nearly 240+ yards. Control was superb. On the last hole PAR 5 my space was sround 260 yards, further than all my friends who used their drivers!!!Finally I’ve found my “Bread & Butter” club.

Summary:
The G5 3 wood, 15 degree loft with prolaunch shaft…….a fantastic, solid club to have in the bag. Use this when the driver gets odd and get decent distances with it (average about 250yds). The prolaunch shaft gives a high ball flight which is fine, fantastic off the tee, off the fairway perhaps needs to be a ‘fluffy’ lie really as quite a deep face. Only one come forth with this club is in the setting up, will quite regularly send this ball right(not a slice/fade) if dont take the time to really set the head up in the right direction, possibly this is me or possibly the head is slightly distracting, either way, if you do take the time to set up correctly, you wont be dissappointed. Im not able to work a ball so cant comment on the clubs ability or if not to do this. Best results off the tee are with an simple swing and a low tee( 1/4″). Hope this proves helpful, would have had 5 stars but for the head set up come forth

Summary:
Very solid line of woods. It has Ping quality construction. Forgiving, simple to hit off the tee and off the ground. The 455 steel is springy and the ball jumps off the face. I previously had the Cobra SS and SZ offset woods and I wanted to go onto nonoffset models. The G5′s were the right choice. The headsize gives me alot of confidence at take up. I do agree with the previous reviewer that the alignment of top and bottom lines is a bit awkward. This doesnt affect the performance. Highly recommend these woods to all range of players.

Customer Service:
Ping responds quickly to emails. Their club renovate service is slow and overpriced.
