Choose it if

  • You make decent contact and want help on the misses from a slimmer head.
  • Your iron shots start right or fly low: 4.6 mm of offset gives the face more time to square.
  • You need a left-handed club or a senior flex: both are stock.

What changed from the G Le3

From the 6-iron to the 9-iron the G Le4 keeps the G Le3's lofts and lengths (a 29.5° 7-iron) and its offset (0.18 inches at the 7-iron), and adds bounce: 9.7° against 8.1° in the 7-iron. Its pitching wedge is 46.5° against 46°, its UW 51.5° against 52°, and its hybrids run 5H to 8H (22° to 36°) in place of 4H to 7H (22° to 34°). PING also moves the stock shafts from the ULT 250 to the ALTA Le, a gram or two lighter at each weight.

PING now builds the G Le3 only as fill-in or replacement clubs, but Golf Discount still sells a new set for less than a new G Le4, and used sets cost less again. Both get the same score from us; choose the G Le4 for the extra bounce and the newer hybrid set.

Loft, lie and length, club by club

As PING publishes them; the set mixes hybrids (5H to 8H) with irons from the 6-iron to the SW; PING gives no offset or bounce for the hybrids

SW 56° 64.4° 34.5 in 0.08 in 13°

After the utility wedge (UW, 51.5°): with a 56° sand wedge, the gap is 4.5°.

Callaway's iron fitting guide puts your first wedge 4° to 6° above the highest-lofted wedge in your iron set. A gap in degrees is not a gap in yards. To choose that wedge, see the forgiving wedges by loft and bounce.

Use the iron finder to compare sets for your usual miss, and check the set makeup and loft gaps before ordering. Between a game improvement and a super game improvement head, this is how to tell which one your strike needs.

How the 3.5 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.

The parts of the forgiveness score
PartPointsWhy
Head class 3 Game improvement: a forgiving head, slimmer than super game improvement.
Offset +0.5 4.6 mm at the 7-iron, at or above our 4.5 mm mark.
Sole +0 PING doesn't publish a sole width, so the sole earns no point.
Forgiveness score3.5of 5

The score rates the head only. Hand, flex and price decide which version you buy, not how forgiving it is. PING does not publish a sole width.
