Ping G10
$299, graphite; pinggolf.com

A new crown pattern creates discretionary weight, which is repositioned inside the head to optimize CG location for higher launch and lower spin. Adoring fans find this to be a dynamo for players of all skill level. You can expect to get consistent trajectory, serious distance (longest in our test) and tight dispersion — traits that make it a winner. It's a bona fide fairway splitter that elicits that 'crushed it' feel.

"Impressive forgiveness when I don't catch it just right."— Mark Barrette (15)
