What changed in the G Le4
Both are PING's women's driver for swing speeds of 80 mph or less: 460cc, 11.5° with 1.5° of loft adjustment either way, in both hands, with Lite and Ultra Lite shafts. The G Le4 adds a Carbonfly Wrap crown that PING says lowers and deepens the centre of gravity and a heavier back weight toward the heel, and PING puts its MOI 15% above the G Le3's; it is a quarter inch longer, at 45 inches.
PING still lists the G Le3 beside the G Le4, shops sell it new for less, and used ones cost less again. Choose it for PING's light women's head for less; choose the G Le4 for the higher MOI.

How the 3.0 adds up
The forgiveness score is our reading of what PING publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head | 3 | A driver head PING named no forgiveness class for. |
| Forgiveness score | 3.0 | of 5 |
Draw help, lofts, flex and hand don't change the score. They decide which version fits you, and the picks for a slice or a slow swing use them.
