The G driver has the lowest and deepest CG of any driver that PING has produced. In this case the CG is in a better position (low/back) to provide higher launch and lower spin and to add more forgiveness for the golfer. Any time that you can give a club designer the capability to move weight around, they are able to improve the weight distribution and move the Center of Gravity to improve or at the very least affect certain things. The Dragonfly technology has the added benefit that it gives the engineer the capability to move weight to different places on the driver. That improvement translates to sizable distance gains from all swing speeds.

Looking to improve on this new technology PING engineers have further improved the Turbulator technology by introducing their new “Dragonfly technology.” The design inspired by a dragonfly’s wings further improves the aerodynamics of the clubhead to increase speed from the reduced drag by as much as 37% through the impact zone. At least half of the guys in my regular group have one. But it is impossible to deny how extremely popular the G30 was and still is. When PING announced the G30 last year I am forced to admit that I was very suspicious that the “Turbulators” were going to last very long. Let’s dive in to see if this merger of nature and technology helped me hit it any farther. So PING set out to make a driver that has the aerodynamic features of a 3 wood, but the forgiveness and power given from a driver.įor this review I was give a 9° PING G driver with an stiff Alta shaft. The idea being that larger clubheads particularly ones that are 460cc do not need to trade off aerodynamics. The features the PING engineers gleamed from the dragonfly were geared to further improve the airflow of the clubhead. One of the key features of the extremely popular G30 was the turbulators that were added to the top of the clubhead. The engineers who worked on PING G driver looked to nature to inspire and improve their design in fact, they looked to the wings of a dragonfly. So when PING engineers sat down to improve upon one of the best drivers on the market, the G30, they looked to nature. It is evolution that often provides the simplest and most beautiful solution to many problems.

It is often said that nature often inspires the best designs.
