Should I use a Ping hybrid club instead of a fairway wood?

Ping hybrid clubs and Ping fairway woods each have their own uses and advantages, but they have their similarities too. Generally speaking, if you’ve still a relatively long way to go to the green, a fairway wood will give you the distance you need to get there if you’re on your second shot. But if you’re in a similar spot yards-wise and find yourself in a difficult lie, perhaps sitting atop the rough, a hybrid club could give you both the force and accuracy you need to get the ball back on track and towards the hole.

Can Ping hybrids replace my long irons?

A lot of golfers tend to avoid their long irons in favour of the next best thing, which in many cases is a hybrid club. But if you do add a Ping hybrid to your collection, we’d recommend keeping your long irons, too. They may be hard to hit at times, but they still have a part to play in your game and have plenty of advantages over similar clubs, so it pays to practice with them. But if you find yourself caught in a troubling lie with many yards to go, don’t be afraid to reach for your Ping hybrid to get you out of trouble.

Does a Ping hybrid perform well out of the rough?

Yes, many golfers love using their Ping hybrid out of the rough, thanks to the seamless combination of accuracy, power and aesthetics it can provide. Featuring a clubface that’s similar to that of a long iron while sporting a downsized fairway wood-style head, you can expect a Ping hybrid to give you the force you need to propel the ball out of the rough, while also offering the swing speeds your club head needs to cut through longer grass and reach the ball, without sacrificing a pinpoint aim.

Do I need more than one Ping hybrid in my bag?

It depends on your personal playing style and what you expect to gain from using a Ping hybrid. You could enjoy a round of golf perfectly well and hit some amazing shots with just one Ping hybrid. Having said that, if you value what a hybrid brings to the table, it could be worth investing in multiple! Ping hybrids are available in a variety of lofts, so whatever kind of shot you’re hoping to achieve, we’ll have something to suit you!

PING GOLF HYBRIDS

Just like the rest of the company’s clubs, Ping hybrids make an impressive addition to an already stellar lineup of clubs, from one of the world’s most recognisable golf brands.

Ultra-lightweight materials are used to lower the overall weight of the club. This helps you increase your swing speeds for fantastic power generation, helping you gain those extra few yards you’ve been looking for to reach the green. On top of this, for those of you who still carry your clubs, the addition of lightweight materials makes Ping golf hybrids far less of a burden on your back and shoulders as you walk around the course, so you can reserve your energy for those all-important shots.

But beyond the obvious, the use of lightweight materials in the clubheads of several Ping hybrids also offers a lower centre of gravity than similar-looking clubs. This helps you reduce spin and keep your clubhead on a level footing as it strikes the ball, for shots that fly straight and low.

Speaking of spin, some Ping hybrids (and many of their other powerful clubs) have been imbued with special clubface technology that’s designed to significantly cut spin, so you can land the golf ball on the green and force it to sit down almost immediately, without running the risk of overshooting it and rolling it off the back of the green costing you time, energy and extra strokes.

Always seeking to add evolving technologies to their clubs, some Ping golf hybrids have been equipped with adjustable weighting, allowing you to customise the club to meet the precise needs of your shot. Need a little extra forgiveness on those long, intimidating holes? The weighting will encourage the clubhead to catch the ball square, so you can avoid those awkward slices and hooks - ultimately lowering your score.

And, as one of the most popular and high-end golf brands on the market today, Ping hybrids always bring forth a sense of impressiveness and high-tech aesthetics when they’re pulled from your bag. With understated colours matched with Ping’s typical sci-fi-esque designs, you can be sure these clubs will attract the eye of anyone lucky enough to share a round with you.
