Before I let loose on the performance benefits of the Ping G30 driver, it's only right I begin by starting on the looks - which actually become a performance enhancement.
The G30 driver's new patented Turbulator Technology - which went through extensive wind tunnel testing - reduces aerodynamic drag by significantly delaying airflow separation, maintaining attached airflow around the clubhead as it approaches impact, leading to more speed. When it comes to sound, the G30 is one of the nicest sounding drivers on the market today.
From what I was informed through PING's internal testing, average golfers received 0.7mph extra clubhead speed compared to the company's previous Ping G25 driver. During my testing, I added 1mph extra clubhead speed (98mph) and 4mph ball speed (147mph) on the G25. Maybe small numbers but big in the context of things.
For me, the 'turbulator' design carries much more shelf appeal than any previous PING driver I've had the pleasure of teeing up with and the bright, blue accent colour on the sole and neat headcover also adds to that point. This is one neat driver. Yes it looks a little wacky, but after closer inspection and testing, it's easy to see the performance benefits behind this piece of clever engineering.
The brand also claims the new Ping G30 irons is around six yards longer than the G25. Given the added speed from the turbulators and the 100 RPM of lower-spin launch I attained, I saw a five-yard total distance gain of 262 yards in comparison to 257 with the Ping G25 irons.
Offline dispersion was down, too. I was 13 yards offline with the G25 last year during testing. This time with the G30, I'm nine yards offline.
