How the 4.0 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 type | 4 | A big mallet head resists twisting, which keeps a heel or toe strike closer to the right distance. |
| Forgiveness score | 4.0 | of 5 |
The score rates the head only. Length and hand decide which version you buy, not how forgiving it is.

| Construction | Calls the head a Mallet. Lightweight aluminum body with a dense stainless steel sole plate positions mass low and to the perimeter "to ensure extreme MOI and optimal CG for high forgiveness and consistent roll" (no MOI number published). CG sits behind the shaft axis so it is pulled through the stroke for stability and less twisting. Hosel/neck: Onset hosel, which gives a full-face view of the ball to aid alignment. Alignment aid: eye-tracking-derived focal point on the top rail plus a long alignment line, to quiet the eyes before the stroke. Stroke type Slight Arc, head weight 350g, lie 20 degrees non-adjustable, loft 3 degrees non-adjustable, matte-black stepless steel shaft, PING SuperStroke 2.0 Pistol Tour grip. |
