Ping have handed out their new G30 driver to players including Bubba Watson at The Greenbrier Classic on the PGA Tour.
The new matte blue hue'd Ping G30 succeeds the Ping G25 Driver (released on Tour in 2012) which goes down in the history books as a solid driver that leaned a little more towards forgiveness than length.
The key feature of the new G30 sure to grab headlines is the presence of six fins which Ping have dubbed "Turbulators" on the crown of the club, designed to streamline aerodynamics during the swing. Better aerodynamics mean less drag, more clubhead speed, ball speed and thus distance.
Ping also look to have addressed their loft adjustability options in this new G30 giving more choice but that will be lost in the swooning over the Turbulators. The Doc series putters are bizarre by any conventional standard, and the K15 series of metalwoods is about as far off the beaten path as a mainstream manufacturer is likely going to venture. At least that was the case before the G30 series and this whole Turbulator thing.
While the pics don’t provide details, it would appear that PING has stepped up its ajustability game. Degree increments aren’t labeled (just plus signs and rectangles), but there are more of them than on previous PING hosels, so it looks like PING may be catching up to the rest of the industry.
You also can’t totally discount the target market either. While Turbulators might not fly on the i-series, the G-series crowd is likely more receptive to a less than traditional approach to product design.
