Prodi G juniorkøller
17.07 PING:
Kommer med nye juniorkøller
Det er viktig med riktige køller for den kommende generasjonen.
Det er trist å se foreldre og andre gi milelange køller til 4-5-åringer som
selvsagt ikke har noen glede og nytte av å spille med alt for lange køller som
er alt for tunge. Derfor er de nye Ping juniorkøllene velkomne.
Det kan være helt avgjørende om gutter og jenter liker golf når de skal forsøke
første gang. Da er det viktig at redskapen er bra. Å produsere et OK resultat
med dårlig redskap, fungerer heller ikke andre steder i livet.
Derfor: La ungene prøve med bra utstyr når de starter. Dette kan være en god idé
for pro shop'ene rundt omkring: å ha prøvekøller for nybegynnere i ung alder. De
nye køllene fra Ping kan da være et godt alternativ.
Her er pressemeldingen:
PING introduces custom-engineered Prodi G junior clubs
PHOENIX (July 16, 2018): Engineered with the score-lowering technologies of its
adult line and inspired by its commitment to introduce more juniors to the game,
PING announced today the new custom-fit, custom-built Prodi G Series – its
highest-performing junior clubs to date. The new Prodi G clubs are available for
pre-order and custom fitting at authorised PING golf shops around the world
beginning today.
“The Prodi G junior clubs are engineered by the same teams that design our adult
clubs. They feature a lot of the same technologies and undergo the same rigorous
testing as all of our products,” said John K. Solheim, PING President. “From a
performance standpoint, our research reveals the clubs far out-perform the
competitive junior sets on the market, including the Prodi G driver being 15
yards longer with a moment of inertia that’s 50% higher than the top-selling
junior driver.”
The custom-engineered set is comprised of 11 clubs: a 15⁰ titanium driver, 22⁰
fairway wood, 27⁰ hybrid, perimeter-weighted irons (6-9, PW), two specialty
wedges (52⁰ & 56⁰) and a blade-style putter. The lightweight clubs can be
ordered in any combination and all are custom built at PING’s European
headquarters. Two sizes (34", 3.5 lbs. and 30", 3 lbs.) of the Hoofer Prodi G
carry bags can be purchased separately.
The proven technologies applied to the new line include turbulators on the
driver for increased clubhead speed and irons with a custom tuning port to allow
for precise swing weighting during the custom-building process. Two lightweight
graphite shaft flexes are optimised for weight and balance to match junior swing
speeds.
“For the first time, junior golfers can play the same technology as mum or dad
that is custom fit and custom built just for them,” Solheim said. “We believe
that has an appeal all on its own and will help get kids interested in playing
more.”
In developing the new products, PING’s Fitting Science team created a junior
fitting chart (a variation of the company’s iconic colour code chart developed
nearly 50 years ago) that takes into account a junior’s height and
wrist-to-floor measurement to determine the appropriate lie angle and club
length. The Prodi G clubs are recommended for juniors 4'5" to 5'2" and can be
ordered in custom lengths based on the results of a fitting session.
As part of the launch of the new clubs, the company also announced the Prodi G
“‘Get Golf Growing’” program, an industry-first junior golf equipment initiative
that offers custom-fit and custom-built junior clubs that include a one-time,
no-cost adjustment to sets of five clubs or more. The program helps address an
all-too-common occurrence that results in a lot of junior golfers playing clubs
not suited to their games.
“One of the biggest barriers parents of junior golfers face is investing in a
set of clubs that their kids will outgrow in a short time,” Solheim said. “As a
result, they often buy clubs that don’t fit their kids in hopes they’ll grow
into them or they cut down old clubs. Neither option is ideal and impedes the
junior’s golf development. Our ‘Get Golf Growing’ program is designed to be an
affordable way to get juniors into high-performance custom-fit clubs while
bringing more boys and girls to the sport. The Prodi G clubs grow with the kids.
We believe if juniors are exposed to better equipment, they’ll enjoy golf more,
which will ultimately help grow the game as the kids fall in love with golf and
play it for a lifetime.”
To be eligible for the ‘Get Golf Growing’ program, five or more clubs must be
purchased in one transaction. Allowable adjustments are re-shafting, lengthening,
re-weighting and re-gripping.
