www.ping.com X Lofts: 46° / 50° / 52° / 54° / 56° / 58° /60° Head options: SS Grind, WS Grind, TS Grind, ES Grind X Shaft: Ping AWT 2.0 (s), Ping CFS (g)

TECH:

A softer 8620 carbon steel head than Ping’s standard Glide 2.0 (431 stainless steel) which, Ping says, along with the precision-milled grooves, delivers softer feel and higher spinning shots. The tourinspir­ed black finish yields less glare and makes the head appear smaller. An extra groove low on the face of the 56°, 58° and 60° lofts increases spin and control for shots hit low on the face.

WE SAY:

In the Glide 2.0 a small cavity is teamed with a hollow weighting port behind the face, increasing MOI and aiding forgivenes­s over a fullon blade. All three testers were very positive about the Stealth’s head shape, size and colour, but it was only by testing on a launch monitor and analysing the data afterwards we saw how backspin was quite low. It doesn’t mean the Stealth doesn’t spin, but you should select a shaft very carefully as it will help maximise results.
