This saves 8g of weight which is then moved to the sole to move the Centre of Gravity (CG) 1.2mm lower and 1.6mm deeper than in the G30.

The result is a titanium crown that is just 0.43mm thick in places, well below the 0.5mm minimum that was previously thought possible. Underneath this on the inside is another lattice you can't see that does the same job. Ping's designers took this theory into titanium and what you can see is the beams supporting five sections of thinner material on the crown. Inspired by the wings of the said insect captured on camera by CEO John Solheim and sent to his designers whilst on holiday in 2011, these maintain a strong structure using beams to support the rest of the wing. However what you will notice more on the crown is the Dragon Fly Technology. The Ping G driver sees some remodelling of the size and angle of the Turbulators and when visiting their factory I saw some of the variations they tried in testing. The previous G30 driver introduced us to the Turbulators on the crown of the club that act to disrupt the airflow over the head to allow it to move through the air faster. The sixth iteration is simply called the G driver and when I asked Ping why, they said they felt the numbers were getting too large, but this does not mean it is the final version of the range either. With each iteration they have managed to move the design forward, thanks in part to having longer product life cycles between versions than most manufacturers. When they combined a forgiving performance head within a good looking package then it's going to work. Right from the start of the G driver franchise in 2004, Ping has had a top selling product on its hands and with good reason.
