| Head size | 460cc | Evidence: Verified |
| Adjustability | 8-position hosel: loft ±1.5°, lie up to 3° flatter than standard; 32 g tungsten back weight with Neutral, Draw and Fade positionsPing: “The lightweight, 8-position hosel enables adjustments for loft (±1.5°) and lie (up to 3° flatter than std.)” and “A heavier high-density tungsten back weight adjusts to one of three positions (Neutral, Draw, Fade).” The 32 g figure is from the page’s description (“A 32g adjustable weight”), not its feature text. Ping’s spec notes separately refer to “the five adjustable loft positions indicated on the hosel.” The K HL build is engineered with a lighter back weight; Ping does not give its mass. | Evidence: Verified |
