Bubba Watson and Hunter Mahan are each playing the new Ping G25 driver at last week’s Hyundai Tournament of Champions on Maui. The G25 is the company’s largest profile driver with what Ping calls its “most forgiving” head design.
Earlier, Hunter Mahan and Bubba Watson using Ping’s new G25 driver and Fairway Woods on the range at the World Challenge hosted by Tiger Woods at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Mahan was hitting a G25 Driver (9.5 degrees) as well as a 15-degree Ping G25 Fairway Wood. Watson was playing a G25 Driver with his signature pink crown and graphics (8.5 degrees) and a 16.5-degree G25 fairway wood.
Ping says the adjustable-hosel design maintains the same outer diameter and mass of its fixed hosels. The thin-crown technology in the deeper profile, 460cc Ti club head, according to Ping, distributes weight to the perimeter, positions the CG (center of gravity) lower and farther back than any Ping driver to date, increases MOI, and boasts a moment of inertia measurement that's 10 percent higher than the Burner 2.0 Driver.
The new G25 driver will feature the same three-way adjustability feature found on this summer's Anser driver. The Ping G25 Driver comes in four lofts (8.5, 9.5, 10.5 and 12 degrees) and each loft can be adjusted by plus or minus one-half degree. Ping made an effort to keep the adjustable hosel from being a distraction by keeping the hosel the same diameter and mass as hosels on Ping's non-adjustable drivers.
The G25 driver also has a TFC 189D, a lightweight, high-balance-point shaft developed specifically for the G25 driver. This shaft, Ping says, creates increased golf clubs for sale head momentum at impact, which leads to greater ball velocity and forgiveness. This amount of adjustability is not especially remarkable when compared with some of their competitors, but they counter this argument by stating that they believe that performance can be compromised when loft is adjusted by more than half a degree either way in terms of what this can do to the club's centre of gravity.
