That's just 0.4-degree down on the launch angle of my current driver, so I'm more than happy with that. This time with the G30, I'm nine yards offline.Īs for the shaft the PING fitting team handed me out in Germany, I was using a stock S-flex TFC 419D in standard 45.75 on a 10.5-degree G30 and was sending my drives to a launch of 13.1-degree. I was 13 yards offline with the G25 last year during testing. 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 G25. The brand also claims the new G30 is around six yards longer than the G25. During my testing with 20 drives, spin was approximately 100 RPM lower than the G25 I tested last year at 2500 RPM. PING says it's made its G30 driver about 150 RPM lower spinning than the G25. Instead of using that weight to move the G30's CG lower and more forward, PING moved the G30's CG lower and more rearward. Jertson explained to Golfmagic how PING has gained 4g of discretionary weight with its new titanium face material called T9S, which is much lighter and stronger than the former Ti 8-1-1 face material on the G25. For those confused about MOI, it's what controls how much gearing/twisting there is when you hit it off-centre. PING says this ensures optimal launch conditions and even higher moment of inertia (approximately 2%) to further minimise the gear effect at impact for extreme levels of forgiveness and maximum energy transfer. With the G30, the brand has placed CG as low and as far back than it's ever done with one of its drivers before. In a completely opposing view to how TaylorMade goes about designing drivers with low, forward CG, PING prefers to place its CG low and further back. Okay, more of a personal preference, but I found it much more robust than the previous G25 and it offered me great feedback at impact. When it comes to sound, the G30 is one of the nicest sounding drivers on the market today.
