Ping 2016 G LS Tec Driver
The PING G LS Tec Driver (Low Spin) is exactly what you expect from the G Series; long, forgiving and extremely accurate, however the LS Tec model is designed to reduce your back spin to keep your ball from ballooning and losing critical distance on your roll out. The internal weighting that the LS Tec has built low and toward the face was first introduced with G30 LS Tec, is the driving principal difference from the other two G Series Drivers. The Low Spin Technology isn’t meant for everyone, that role belongs to the not-so-standard G Series Driver. The LS Tec is for those that have a lot of power in their swing, which in excess can generate more back spin at impact, so much so that the balls dimples make it climb like a lost balloon which doesn’t help your distance off the tee. The G Series LS Tec Driver, like the other G Series Drivers, are faster than their predecessors, which introduced us to the Turbulator Technology. The new G Series Drivers are built for speed and power with new aerodynamic technology. The Turbulators are still present but now they are coupled with VorTec and Dragonfly Technologies. The Dragonfly Tec lowers the weight across the entire head, from the crown to the tail, 8 grams are saved to help optimize the Center of Gravity (CG) and the Moment of Inertia (MOI), however it also helps reduce drag by up to 37% for greater club head speed resulting in an increase of 3-4 carry yards. The VorTec Technology is derived from the same principal used with big rig trucks; it could almost be described as a tail that shapes the way air resistance is allowed to release from the club head. The VorTec minimize turbulence which increase club head speed and helps keep the head more stable through your entire swing from address to follow through. Speed isn’t the only attributed feature that makes the G Series Drivers, a thin T9S (special Titanium) face, makes it more forgiving and consistent yet retains a hotness that increases ball speed at impact. As with all the G Series models that came before this G Series Driver line, PING has brought the CG deeper to its core; resulting in the most forgiving and highest MOI the G Series has ever been, since its introduction 10 years ago. The PING G Series Drivers also have the ability to adjust trajectory for the fine tuning of your preferred launch with their adjustable hosel technology that allows you change your loft +/-1° from standard settings. PING never stops at just the head characteristics when designing their products; they always pair the head with a shaft that performs best through extensive testing. The new G Series Drivers feature a high balance point shaft, similar to the 419 that was paired in the G30 Series, the Alta which performs well for the majority of golfers looking to play better by through a system that stores more energy until the point where momentum and inertia blend to release the power of your game.
