The new Ping G30 range – including drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons. Ping ambassador Bubba Watson gets custom fitted for the Ping G30 driver, as well as giving his first impressions on the new model.
Watson, who won the 2014 Masters in impressive style, records a 360-yard plus drive with his first hit of the G30 driver. Turbulators help aerodynamics, a new face enables greater flex and a new GC position – along with other fators – contribute to increased distance. Visually the head is a familiar Ping G shape, slightly more rounded than the G25 driver, so not as long from the top edge to the back of the crown, which gives it a shape that is reminiscent of the Ping G20 driver. The turbulators on the crown are the obvious visual change to what was previously a very clean looking head at address.
Surprisingly this change isn’t distracting at all. Instead it makes it clear where the face is pointing when over the ball. Claims that the turbulators will increase swing speed and therefore ball speed were undoubtedly proven to be true during my testing. Carry distance through the air was consistently around 5 yards longer than with my Ping G25 driver. Most impressively this has been achieved without sacrificing any forgiveness whatsoever.
The added adjustability of five loft settings instead of three will prove most beneficial when being fitted. The Ping custom fitting process is already impressive but the ability to add or takeaway up to a full degree of loft will allow the expert fitters to dial in the setup that is just right. While new driver models often offer slight tweaks to the previous Ping G15 driver design the G30 driver offered me obvious distance gains without having to sacrifice any of the already impressive forgiveness.
These gains were clear during on course testing, even before a launch monitor backed up the gains. The ability to select a head and wide range of loft and stock shaft combinations means that the Ping G30 driver could prove an excellent option for many.
