Best Ping Fairway Woods

Designed for maximum forgiveness, the G430 Max Fairway Wood features a composite Carbonfly Wrap that allows weight to be repositioned for higher launch and longer distance. It also has a fixed tungsten backweight to ensure forgiveness on off-center hits. With its distance-boosting technology and forgiving design, the G430 Max is a great choice for golfers of all skill levels looking to add some extra yards to their game.

Ping coined the word "spinsistency" in its marketing, which describes the attempt to minimize the variation in spin rate depending on where you hit the ball on the face. Players who want more consistent distance control and predictable spin will love the G420 Max. This club also comes in an LST and SFT model. The 3-wood is great off the tee and the 5-wood is easy off the fairway. I’d recommend this club to mid to high-handicappers with a developing swing.

Targeting golfers seeking distance and forgiveness, the Ping G425 MAX Fairway Wood features a combination of technologies. Its signature maraging steel Facewrap technology creates a larger sweet spot and flexes at impact, maximizing ball speed for longer shots on both center and off-center hits. Additionally, a low center of gravity design promotes a higher launch angle, making it easier to get the ball airborne for more distance and overall forgiveness on mishits.

The Ping G425 Max is the base model and the easiest one to hit. There is also the LST model, which stands for lower spin tech. It will be smaller and harder to hit, but for golfers with plenty of swing speed and accuracy in their ball striking, the LST will put out a lot more distance. The SFT model is for the higher handicapped golfers because it helps prevent slicing. Good clubs all around.

The Ping G400 Fairway Wood is a high-launching fairway that features a maraging steel face with more flexion for added speed and distance. The C300 maraging steel is one of the strongest alloys in the world and delivers more flexing power for faster ball speeds and higher launch. The ultra-thin crown is equipped with Turbulators help to reduce aerodynamic drag. The weight saved in the crown is repositioned lower for increased moment of inertia and optimal center of gravity placement. The G400 Fairway has a lower leading edge that sits closer to the ground to enhance turf interaction and increase confidence from any lie.

Because the Ping G400 is a bit older (released in 2017), you can find them at an affordable price. The Pings are infamous for covering all the bases. This club is for shot-shapers, those who can control how they want to hit the ball. If you're going around a corner, this is the club for you. In my opinion, it's one of the best shot-shaping woods out there.
