Ping G10 Driver

 

Using finite element analysis (FEA) driven by a Cray Supercomputer, Ping engineers optimized the G10 driver's crown, sole and face structure interaction to ensure maximum energy transfer to the ball. The 460cc driver features a larger profile with a taller face and deeper crown that produces a higher MOI (moment of inertia) for greater forgiveness and increased ball velocity.

Thinner crown and face designs provided discretionary weight which is positioned inside the club head to lower the CG (center of gravity) for reduced spin and higher launch.

Features:

Larger perimeter head size increases MOI

Taller face profile and deeper crown maximize ball velocity

Thin, variable face geometry

Internal weight pad positions CG for low spin and high launch

Ping-designed TFC 129D shaft

The Ping G10 driver is engineered with a cast body and fully machined face from high-grade 6-4 titanium. The Ping G10 460cc club head features a larger profile with a taller face and deeper crown that produces a higher moment-of-inertia for greater forgiveness and increased ball velocity. Using finite element analysis driven by a Cray Supercomputer, company engineers optimized the crown, sole and face structure interaction to ensure maximum energy transfer to the ball. Thinner crown and face designs provided discretionary weight which was positioned inside the club head to lower the center of gravity for reduced spin and higher launch. Ping’s patented variable face thickness technology produces a thin, highly responsive hitting surface for increased ball velocity and greater consistency across the face. The G10 comes with the standard TFC 129D shaft (Soft R, R, S and X) and also the Grafalloy ProLaunch Red (R, S & X) and UST V2 High Launch 65 (R, S & X).

The market leading G5 driver was a hard act to follow, but with the Ping G10 driver we think Ping have managed to improve the best even more. The first thing you notice is that the head is deeper front to back and also taller. This has been achieved by some jiggery-pockery in the design to stay within the 460cc limit and it gives you immense confidence at address. The love-it-or-hate-it crescent on the crown is a even more subtle than before and the new colour scheme looks very good. Performance is what it is all about and the new G10 driver delivers big time. With the weight a little further back it gets the ball airborne with low spin on a great trajectory. Compared to the G5 it is slightly lower and certainly much lower than the G2. There is a new range of shafts with the G10 and we found the standard TFC129 that Ping has designed for them to be very good, but as always make sure you get custom fitted. If you are in the market for a driver, then you won't go far wrong if you choose the Ping G10.
