Ping G5 uses internal weight pads and a sloped crown to optimize the center of gravity for optimum performance from any lie. The Ping G5 hybrid have similar weigting to that of Ping drivers meaning weight is repositioned on the sole to optimize spin for maximum distance and control. The G5 hybrid is constructed from high strength 455 stainless steel on the face to deliver higher initial launch trajectory and increased ball speed for maximum carry distance. This Ping G5 model made the 2007 Golf Digest Hot List.
