With the ChipR Le, PING is revisiting and refining the ChipR to cater specifically to the needs of women golfers.
PING has once again stepped into the spotlight with the introduction of the ChipR Le. A groundbreaking short-game solution exclusively designed for women. Priced at $194.99, this club is not just an addition to PING’s lineup, it’s a tailored approach to helping female golfers increase their performance on the green.
Design and Construction: Merging Putter and Wedge Elements
Crafted from investment-cast 431 stainless steel, the ChipR Le exhibits a precision-engineered design that seamlessly combines elements of a putter and a wedge. The club boasts a length similar to a putter (34â) and a loft closer to a 9-iron (38.5°). This unique combination allows golfers to employ a putting-like stroke for shots within 40 yards of the green. Thus resulting in bump-and-run style shots that offer unparalleled distance control and consistency.
The ChipR Le’s 38.5° loft, falling between a women’s 8/9-iron, and a 34″ shaft empower golfers to execute a putting-like stroke with confidence. The design is optimized for shots within 40 yards of the green, particularly from the rough or fringe. Fear of mis-hitting shots becomes a thing of the past since the ChipR Le opens up new possibilities for short-game precision.
The forgiving design of the investment-cast, 431 stainless steel head is perimeter weighted to enhance forgiveness. A composite cavity badge adds to the overall forgiveness factor. While the hydropearl chrome finish not only adds a touch of elegance but also repels water, ensuring consistent performance even in varying conditions. Custom fitting options for length, loft, and lie (with 10 color codes) provide a personalized touch to match individual preferences.
The cambered sole of the ChipR Le facilitates a smooth transition through the rough and fringe. This offers maximum versatility and consistency. The shallow face height, positioned between a putter and a wedge, ensures reliable contact and top-notch performance. Confidence is key, and the compact profile of the ChipR Le inspires just that.
Precision-milled MicroMax grooves with tighter spacing and increased quantity ensure consistent ball contact, maintaining spin for predictable trajectories and control on chips of every length. The compact profile instills confidence, making the ChipR Le a reliable companion for short-game challenges.
The PING Le Wedge Shaft, is a lightweight graphite construction, engineered to provide golfers with more feel of the clubhead during the swing. This feature is particularly helpful for making solid contact on touch shots into the green. Complementing the shaft is the Golf Pride 360 Tour Velvet grip. This grip is made of a soft rubber compound with a non-slip surface pattern. Its textured design efficiently pulls moisture away, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip during every swing.
