Description
The PING G30 5 Hybrid (26° loft) is a versatile club bridging the gap between fairway woods and long irons, designed for players seeking more forgiveness, easier launch and improved control. With its 26° loft and graphite shaft (Regular flex), this hybrid offers a high-launch option to replace a 5-iron or 5-wood. For example one listing shows the club with a 26° loft and the TFC 419 graphite shaft in Regular flex.
Key Features
-
Heat-Treated 17-4 Stainless Steel Face (H90 for Hybrids): The G30 hybrid features a 17-4 stainless steel face that is heat-treated (H90) to increase strength and ball speed.
-
Progressive Centre of Gravity (CG) / Low & Rear Weighting: PING engineered the G30 hybrid with CG locations tailored by loft. The 26° version has a more forward CG compared to lower lofts, which helps produce a flatter trajectory.
-
TFC 419 Graphite Stock Shaft (Regular Flex Option): The stock shaft on many G30 hybrids is the graphite TFC 419H (or similar) in Regular flex for improved feel and lighter weight. For the 26° 5-Hybrid, many listings reference the TFC 419H Regular flex.
-
Forgiveness & High MOI Design: The G30 hybrids were designed with high moment of inertia (MOI) to minimize distance loss on off-centre hits and help maintain consistency.
-
Size & Profile: As a 26° hybrid, the G30 5-Hybrid offers easier launch than a long iron while maintaining controllable trajectory, making it attractive for players swapping out difficult long irons.
