Ping has waded even deeper into the adjustability pool, this time with its Ping G25 driver. Released right after the PGA Merchandise Show, it is the first in the G series to have that feature, and it gives golfers the ability to tweak lofts half a degree, either up or down.
Phelps, 27, is the subject of this year’s “The Haney Project” on Golf Channel, which premieres Monday, Feb. 25. He will begin playing the custom-fit clubs at this week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open Pro-Am, where he will be paired with Masters champion Bubba Watson. “I know how difficult the game of golf is, but I’m really serious about getting better and the experts at Ping have already helped me a lot,” Phelps said in a statement.
As far as Schweigert is concerned, it does just that. For starters, the company created a hosel design for the G25 that boasts the same outer diameter and mass of fixed hosels. As a result, engineers didn’t have to add weight to that part of the club and were free instead to use it in places that improved performance. Utilization of Ping’s ultra-thin crown technology helped in those regards as well.
“We were able instead to drive the Center of Gravity (CG) lower and farther back in the 460 cc head to produce that optimal high launch/low spin performance for greater distance,” he said. “At the same time, we distributed more weight to the perimeter for better forgiveness and higher Moment of Inertia (MOI).”
I knew I was in for something good. Believe you me, I was more than simply impressed. I took copious notes, tried various lofts, and shafts, and I eventried different models of golf clubs for sale, in addition to the one I usual play. I really liked it so much at first swat that I took the time to check and re-check several factors before calling it a night.
A variable-thickness face is designed to deliver a powerful energy transfer for faster ball speeds and greater distances, while a charcoal, non-glare club head finish is made to assist with alignment and eliminate reflections. They come in four lofts, which run from 8.5 to 12 degrees.
I had to leave my Louisville Slugger at his store as collateral along with a life sized picture of my kneecaps for him to practice on in case something went awry. Then I set up a tee time at a not too shabby little track whose traffic has been down, thus allowing me the opportunity to play a practice round replete with extra tee shots using this Driver in a 10.5* Loft with TFC Shaft in Regular Flex as well as a matching 3 metal and 4 hybrid.
Because of his 6-foot-4 frame, Phelps’s Ping G25 irons for sale are one inch over standard length, three degrees upright, and with grips that a 1/32-inch over standard size. The clubs are also painted with gold, red, white and blue accents. Source from: http://www.aboutcheadle.co.uk/article-634-Michael-Phelps-signs-club-deal-with-Ping-G25-Driver.html
