My thoughts on the Ping G Crossover are summed up in one word: ‘Wow’. I have had the 4 Ping G Crossover (21˚) in the bag since the start of the year and I am in love with it. My 4-iron tops out at 205 yards if I catch it sweet, my 3-wood goes 225 yards, but I have never been able to use a hybrid consistently. It’s been a real problem in recent years. I’ve had a 20-yard gap in prime ‘reach a par-5 in two’ distance and nothing to fill it… until now.

The look, the sound, the distance, the flight – they all fit the bill. While the Ping Crossover has one-degree less loft than my previous hybrid, the face actually appeared more lofted and so, in my head, easier to get in the air. The ball gives a nice ‘zing’ off the face when you catch it right and, perhaps most importantly of all, it flies high and far. All in all, I can hit the Ping G Crossover 220 yards with a really good strike but settle for an average of around 215.
I’m a big fan of this club and it’s definitely going to become a mainstay in my bag.
• The Ping G Crossover is designed to give the flight of an iron and the distance of a hybrid.

• It gives the consistency I was unable to find with my hybrid.
