The Ping G-Series Evolution

Not even the most optimistic of people at PING HQ could have foreseen just how successful the G series was going to be, but from the launch of the G2 in 2003 the franchise has gone from strength to strength.

The G2 was a big hit with Tour players and in 2005 the Arizona-based company developed and launched the exciting new G5 woods and irons.

The driver featured a new internal weighting system that re-positioned the centre of gravity to attain lower spin rates but with a high launch. Engineers moved 8g of weight from the crown of the club to the sole to help with this and there was also an offset driver option too.

To accompany the driver, PING introduced fairway woods, hybrids and irons in the G5 range that were designed to make it easier for the golfer to get great distance through a higher trajectory.

PING continued to evolve with the G10 range of woods and irons in August 2007, and the woods were designed with a large weight pad on the sole which pulled the CG lower and further back than in the G5 model.

The G15 was the next off the conveyor belt of success in 2009 and to date the driver is the only club to have defended its crown in our TG Tests in back-to-back years. The titanium head was longer from front to back than the G10 and weight saved from the thin crown was used in the sole weight pad to once again create a higher ball flight.

PING have taken positive steps at each phase of evolution and the G20 will raise the bar yet again in the woods and irons categories.
