Sorry about the weather so far this season. I have it from a trusted source that things are about to change for the better, around these here parts anyways. The wait is finally over ! After leading the world in driver sales for about two years (Like Donald Trump in New Hampshire leading) they have released an improved version that is surely a very exciting product and truly worth a look. The G is here and we have it. Here’s some of the backstory behind the G and how it came to fruition;
A close-up photograph of a dragonfly taken by Solheim was the inspiration for the primary innovation in the driver. Solheim was intrigued by the wing structure and shared the photo with a group of engineers. Inspired by biomimicry, an approach to innovation that emulates nature’s time-tested patterns, they created Dragonfly Technology. The complex exoskeleton design yields PING’s thinnest (0.43 mm) and lightest crown to date, saving eight grams while creating an intricate and stable structure. The weight savings helped drive the center of gravity lower and deeper than any PING driver, increasing dynamic loft and elevating MOI significantly for maximizing distance and forgiveness. Can you believe that statement, it bears repeating ” MAXIMIZING DISTANCE AND FORGIVENESS”. Researchers also studied the base flaps that minimize large-scale vortex shedding behind 18-wheel semi-trailers and integrated their learnings into the G drivers to improve aerodynamics and increase speed. Vortec Technology on the back of the club and turbulators on the crown contribute to reducing drag 37% in the impact zone, yielding greater clubhead speed and ball velocity for measurable distance gains from all swing speeds. Again one more time ” GREATER CLUBHEAD SPEED AND BALL VELOCITY”. The variable-thickness T9S face has a high strength-to-weight ratio, allowing for a thin face to increase ball speed. Golfers can optimize launch conditions prior to a round by adjusting loft up to +/– 1º with five settings utilizing a lightweight, aerodynamically efficient and high-strength 7075 aluminum hosel sleeve. The G SF Tec driver is custom-engineered with weight closer to the heel to produce a right-to-left shot bend (for right-handed golfers) and steer the ball back into the fairway. The G LS Tec driver features a CG that is extremely low (slightly forward of the standard G driver), for the player who desires low, stable spin with forgiveness.
Well there you have it, the excuses are gone, your wife really doesn’t care if you get one, lets face it, she just wants you to be happy. So put down that can of ensure and get your butt down to Fore Some Golf Shop to get fitted for the driver you deserve…..what the heck are you waiting for…Do it…..Today. You deserve this in your bag.
