Ping Tour-W (Black Nickel)
$109, steel
pinggolf.com
We tested: 52°/12° (loft/bounce), 54°/10°, 56°/10°, 58°/8°, 60°/8° in Ping AWT steel shaft
Company line: "The small, teardrop-shaped head has high inertia due to its dense, tungsten toe weight and small cavity. A deep tuning port positions the center of gravity low and farther forward to provide proper head rotation. Comes in black nickel finish."
Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: These really seem at home in the rough— there's enough mass to power through the tough stuff without getting caught up in it; feel is similar all across the clubface; a heavy sole enhances clubhead awareness and contributes to high, straight shots; a competent wedge for Ping fans; noticeable clubhead stability; consistent distance and trajectories.
CONS: Unlike some others tested, these are not dart throwers; dullish sound and feel at impact, not a satisfying click, leave you wanting more feedback.
"These are handy from uphill lies, the rough, or around the green." — Mike Nastasi (9)
