PING launches speed-generating
Turbulator Technology with G30 series
PHOENIX (July 3, 2014) – With an emphasis on significantly increasing ball
velocity and accuracy through a combination of advanced aerodynamics, plus new
face designs and materials, PING today introduced the G30 series – the company’s
latest innovations that provide golfers measurable distance gains without
sacrificing key performance attributes such as control and forgiveness.
The G30 series includes two driver options -- standard and SF Tec (Straight
Flight Technology) -- along with fairway woods, hybrids and irons. The product
line can be pre-ordered beginning today at PING-authorised golf shops around the
world.
“With the G30 series, our engineers once again accomplished something that is
unique to PING products -- they elevated performance significantly in key areas
without sacrificing other important attributes,” said John A. Solheim, PING
Chairman & CEO. “Across the product line, we’ve proved you can hit the ball
higher and farther while increasing forgiveness and control. We’ve also
continued our focus on advancing custom fitting in the driver and fairway woods
by
offering five loft positions. All of this promotes the consistent, reliable
results that will help golfers of any skill level shoot lower scores and enjoy
the game more.”
The most visible innovation on the G30 driver is the patented turbulators
engineered onto the crown. Inspired by the aeronautics and sporting industries
that put a premium on speed, Turbulator Technology reduces aerodynamic drag by
significantly delaying airflow separation, maintaining attached airflow around
the clubhead as it approaches impact, leading to more speed.
“The turbulators are really exciting,” said Solheim. “Wind-tunnel testing
verified with clarity the role they play in reducing drag on the driver head,
but its real benefit was confirmed through our player testing. When Bubba Watson
first tested the turbulators, he picked up two miles per hour in clubhead speed
and four miles per hour in ball speed, which meant 10 more yards for him. We
can’t promise that for everyone, but with the turbulators’ powerful, inspiring
look we’re confident all golfers will be longer off the tee, thanks to
Turbulator Technology.”
The entire G30 series benefits from new face technologies and materials,
including the introduction of T9S titanium in the drivers, which results in
thinner faces and weight savings that help position the CG low and back. The
fairway woods utilise a high-strength Carpenter 475 steel in the face, and the
hybrids are heat treated with an H900 process. Both result in hotter, more
forgiving faces. The G30 iron face is thinner for higher ball speeds while being
stabilised by a new custom tuning port design for predictable distance control.
The G30 SF Tec driver option is engineered for players whose shots typically end
up right of the intended target. In player testing, the G30 SF Tec driver, which
features weight closer to the heel and lighter swingweights, improved shot bend
by 12 yards when compared to the G30 standard driver.
PING has also increased the range of adjustability to five loft positions in the
driver and fairway woods while maintaining the same mass and outer diameter as
the company’s fixed hosels, providing the benefits of adjustability with no
sacrifice in performance. The lightweight hosel allows golfers to increase or
decrease loft 6/10 of a degree or 1 full degree to optimise launch conditions.
New product descriptions and technical specifications:
G30 Adjustable Driver
Turbulators on the crown of the 460cc Ti 8-1-1 head reduce aerodynamic drag,
leading to faster clubhead speed and ball velocity for long, accurate drives.
Turbulators also assist with aim and alignment. The higher strength/weight ratio
of the T9S face material allows for a thinner, hotter face and saves 4 grams of
weight. The weight savings are allocated to help position the CG lower and
farther back than any PING driver to date, ensuring high launch and optimised
spin with a high MOI. SF Tec heads promote a right-to-left ball flight for
players whose shots typically end up right of the target. To optimise launch
angle and spin, golfers can add or subtract up to 1 degree of loft using
Trajectory Tuning+ Technology. A high-balance-point TFC 419D shaft has a CG
closer to the grip end, promoting a simultaneous increase in energy, momentum
and inertia. The custom tuning port can accommodate a range of fitting weights
and allows PING to achieve the desired swing weight across a variety of
proprietary and after-market shafts.
- Lofts 9° & 10.5° in standard head, 10° & 12° in SF Tec head (adjustable +-
6/10 or 1 degree)
- Stock graphite shaft: PING TFC 419D (Soft R, R, S, X)
- Std. Length 45.75 inches, D3, 206g (standard); D1, 203g (SF Tec), 460cc
- RRP 2995 NOK
G30 Adjustable Fairway Woods
Faster ball speeds and greater distance come from a larger face made of a
uniform-thickness Carpenter 475 steel, creating a thin but strong hitting
surface that maximises face deflection. (Carpenter 475 steel is 44% stronger
than 17-4 stainless steel.) Weight saved by thinning the face was redistributed
to optimise the CG and elevate MOI for added forgiveness. Launch angle and spin
can be fine-tuned by adding or subtracting up to 1 degree of loft with PING's
five-
setting Trajectory Tuning+ Technology, utilising a lightweight hosel that offers
adjustments of + 0.6°, + 1°, - 0.6°, and - 1°. Crown turbulators create a
captured appearance with the ball, and help with aim and alignment to inspire
confidence. The high-balance-point TFC 419F shaft has a CG closer to the grip
end, promoting a simultaneous increase in energy, momentum and inertia for
longer, straighter results.
- Available 3W (14.5º), 5W (18º), 7W (21º) (adjustable +- 6/10 or 1 degree)
- Stock graphite shaft: PING TFC 419F (Soft R, R, S, X)
- RRP 2095 NOK
G30 Irons
Progressive lengths and lofts and a thin face that maximises ball speed help
launch the ball farther and higher with control. Situated low in the sole of the
undercut cavity design, the CTP structure helps lower the CG to ensure high
launch with forgiveness, and it supports the 17-4 stainless steel face to
provide distance control and a solid feel. The soft elastomer badge enhances
feel and sound in the perimeter-weighted design. A softer lead-edge radius and
precisely calculated additions to the bounce profile ensure a smooth transition
through the grass with a stable head, which adds to forgiveness. This versatile
sole design is engineered to perform well with any angle of attack. Progressive
offset generates higher ball flights in the longer irons and penetrating,
controlled trajectories with the scoring clubs. Slightly longer blade lengths
increase forgiveness, most noticeably in the 4 through 7 iron.
- Available 4-9, PW, UW, SW, LW
- Stock steel shaft: PING CFS Distance (Soft R, R, S, X)
- Stock graphite shaft: PING TFC 419i (Soft R, R, S)
- RRP 865 NOK per club w/steel shaft; 1005 NOK per club w/graphite shaft
G30 Hybrids
Greater ball velocity and longer distances with a higher trajectory ensure the
stopping power to attack pins. The thin, uniform 17-4 stainless steel face is
processed with a H900 heat treatment to maximise face deflection and increase
ball speed for added distance with a higher peak trajectory and a steeper
landing angle. Heel-toe weighting elevates MOI for extreme forgiveness. Weight
in the low sole creates a low-back CG for consistent impact and high launch.
Progressive CG locations and offsets ensure efficient gapping and trajectories
that maximise distance. To inspire confidence, the top rail is flatter and the
heel section is higher, providing a very square face at address that helps with
aim and alignment consistency. The high-balance-point TFC 419H shaft has a CG
closer to the grip end, promoting a simultaneous increase in energy, momentum
and inertia for longer, straighter results.
- Available 17º, 19º, 22º, 26º, 30º
- Stock graphite shaft: PING TFC 419H (Soft R, R, S, X)
- RRP 1775 NOK
