The Ping G10 Hybrids are an all stainless steel wood which is going back to what made the G lineup popular. The Rapture, a composite/titanium hybrid wood did not live up to the hype in my opinion and was very expensive. The first thing you see when you set the G10 down is one, it keeps a fairly classic head shape for a hybrid, a nice black finish with the same half moon alignment graphic on the crown of the head that the G5 hybrids sported. The heads are fairly shallow and a little longer to help launch the ball a little higher and sooner than previous models. So whats the difference? I'll tell you.
The G10 is basically a better version of the G5. It features a slightly higher MOI, promotes faster ball speed and a lot less spin than its big brother. This equates to not only longer and higher shots, but more forgiving ones as well. The shafts are a nice touch as well, Ping did a nice job making them a little heavier than in the past to keep a smoother tempo and more feel though the swing, and unlike in the driver, they were able to keep the lengths of these clubs fairly standard! They also, like their fairway woods, offer a number of loft options.
When I hit some balls with last month, I will admit, I was impressed. I was able to square it up and the ball just jumped off the face! The ball launches high and really stays airborne for a longer period of time than that of the G5. Working the ball was not very easy with these woods as I was unable to hit a fade with this club.
