Equipment giants Ping have revealed the successors to their best-selling G30 woods ” introducing the G drivers, fairways and hybrids.

The new driver, which is available in three head options, is packed with exciting and meaningful engineering-based innovations:
- A refined version of the turbulator technology from the G30 range improves the aerodynamics
- The crown has a Dragonfly structure to make it stronger so that less titanium is needed for an overall weight saving
- Vortec technology makes the crown more dome-shaped and minimises wake turbulence
- Ping’s Alta shaft has a high balance point so its CG is nearer to the grip, effectively making the head heavier and increasing momentum in the head

The driver is also available in LS Tec (Low Spin) and SF Tec (Straight Flight) versions to aid those who tend to create too much spin and and lose drives to the right respectively.
“The shape is more appealing, more of a pear, and is easier on the eye,” said Marty Jertson, Ping’s director of product development.
“There’s more visual technology and it looks very real. I think players will notice it and be able to measure it.”
Dragonfly technology makes the crown stronger ” therefore allowing for less titanium to be needed, and therefore an overall weight saving in the crown.
To get an idea of how advanced the engineering process has become, thanks to this design, the thickness of the titanium is now down to 0.43mm ” that’s the equivalent of three £5 notes.
