The story behind the ping g10 driver is one of evolution not revolution. Technicians have spent hours studying how high MOI designs actually work. Their findings support the theory that high moi clubs don’t necessarily mean straighter drives. It remains fact that if shots are hit with an open or closed club face no matter what the moi you won’t get any help reducing side spin!
Moi say the company “ping g10 driver was a consideration when designing the new driver, but not to the extent of ignoring other crucial elements which make up our complete performance driver.” So by concentrating on what’s important to golfers the company reckon they’ve developed a great sounding, cosmetically pleasing driver which delivers maximum distance and tons of forgiveness.
But nothing stands still in golf technology and Ping are determined that even this strong reputation can be enhanced by delivering a little more height, a little more distance and improved overall performance.
I recently accepted an invitation to visit Ping's state-of-the art fitting centre at their European headquarters in Gainsborough, in which indoor bays open up on to an enclosed range, sheltered from much of North Lincolnshire's traditional breezes, in a bid to discover if the new ping g10 driver could deliver its promise.
Today I had a chance to spend some time with the Ping G10 Driver to form some initial impressions. The ping g10 driver has been out for quite some time now and I wanted to see how it compares to my current kit which is the new Cleveland 2009 Launcher. For whatever reason, I hadn’t tried the G10 yet. But I’ve always been partial to the Ping brand having played a G2 Driver in the past and their irons and wedges for years.
What Our Advisory Team Says...
The Ping G10 driver was a hit with our Advisory Team… although some wonder if there is really much of a difference between the G5 and G10…
The ping g10 driver feels good and sounds good, unlike some of the "odd" shape drivers.
There are a handful of drivers at this price point with a better tech story.
A "normal" looking driver, with above “normal” performance. For my eye, the half moon alignment aid on top of the driver works a treat in helping correctly aim the clubface.
Great ping g10 driver for the price!
The ping g10 driver performs well, although not a noticeable difference from G5 or G2.
Very traditional driver with solid feel and good performance. MOI and forgiveness aren’t as high as others out there.
Overall Advisory Team Rating - 82%
