Ping\u2019s new G Le4 family is the fourth generation of a line that has been a popular choice for female golfers since 2017. The full range of Ping G Le4 clubs<\/a> covers the entire bag for women with swing speeds of 80mph or less. Ping says the driver is its longest and most forgiving women\u2019s driver to date, so I was keen to find out how it shaped up against its predecessor G Le3.<\/p>\n

Visually, other than the change in colourway, it isn\u2019t a radical departure from the G Le 3 driver<\/a>. Prior to testing the club, I\u2019d only seen images and wasn\u2019t sure if I\u2019d like what Ping describes as a lilac and milky midnight finish, but I was pleasantly surprised – it\u2019s far better in real life!<\/p>\n

The plain ALTA Le D shaft (available in Lite or Ultra Lite) is a rich, deep purple, which complements the two-tone crown, which can look almost bluish in certain lights. I wouldn\u2019t describe it as having much lilac, there are just a few splashes on the sole.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s finished off with a tacky Golf Pride grip that feels comfortable as soon as you hold the club. While they don\u2019t appeal to everyone, I\u2019m a big fan of tacky grips, similar to those on the XXIO 14 <\/a>and TaylorMade\u2019s Kalea Gold<\/a> drivers. Let\u2019s also not forget the matching headcover, which is easy to put on and take off. This might be a small detail, but it\u2019s an important one!<\/p>\n

Just like the G Le 3, it has a big, confidence-boosting 460cc titanium head that manages to look sleek without being over the top. The crown features angled ridges Ping\u2019s turbulator technology and these have a dual purpose. They optimise airflow around the clubhead to boost ball speed, and I find them to be a great visual guide as you can use them to frame the ball at address.<\/p>\n

So, while I didn\u2019t find a total redesign on the surface, the biggest shift is tucked away where the internal technology has advanced. The introduction of the Carbonfly Wrap crown, a first for Ping\u2019s women\u2019s drivers, saves significant weight, allowing the centre of gravity to be positioned lower and deeper for more powerful drives and increased carry.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve reviewed every driver in the G Le series, and while I\u2019ve had different aesthetic preferences over the years, I\u2019ve always liked the overall weight. It feels effortless to swing, especially for someone like me who falls into this swing speed category.<\/p>\n

I tested this driver over several rounds, and what impressed me most was the extra carry distance I achieved on my best drives. I\u2019d put it at least 10-12 yards. It was significant enough for me to notice and I\u2019ll take that extra yardage any day! I didn\u2019t feel the need to use the Trajectory Tuning 2.0 hosel, but it does allow the 11.5\u00b0 loft to be adjusted plus or minus 1.5\u00b0 (and up to 3\u00b0 flatter) to really dial in your ideal ball flight.<\/p>\n

Now, not every drive was perfect, but I somehow got away with slight mishits thanks to the fixed backweight. It\u2019s positioned toward the heel and contributes to a 15% higher MOI compared to the previous generation. When I did hit the sweet spot, I loved the sound at impact and was consistently impressed by the results.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a boost off the tee this season and have a swing speed of 80 mph or less, consider the new G Le4, as I believe it’s one of the best women\u2019s drivers<\/a> on the market.<\/p>\n
