Ping G25 Driver is a bomber with a buttery feel

I've been playing G25 Driver for six months. I have played the RocketBallz Stage 2 and R11s Driver for six months or more each. The G25 works for me.Played two rounds so far, I have been hitting them long and staying in play. The club feels great to swing and is the most forgiving driver I have owned. I 'm falling in love. It fits my swing.

Along with the new look, the G25 brings adjustability to the 'G' range. Using Ping's lightweight, aerodynamic adjustable-hosel players can optimise their own launch conditions using the Trajectory Tuning Technology. Players can add or subtract half a degree of loft to the two different lofted heads: 9.5 and 10.5.Ping were cautious entering into the adjustable market, wanting to design a driver and specifically a hosel that wouldn't adversely impact performance or appearance. The hosel design they settled on has the same mass and diameter as past 'fixed' hosels, making the transition to adjustability as seamless as possible.

Ping have developed the innovative TFC 189D shaft specifically for the G25 driver. This lightweight, high-balance point shaft has a new non-glare, charcoal finish to help eliminate reflections, improve alignment and inspire confidence at address.

The Ping G25 driverhas a 460cc head with a larger profile design. The ultra-thin-crown and aerodynamic design redistributes weight along the perimeter of the clubhead, moving the CG (centre of gravity) farther back and lower than any previous Ping driver. This new CG position increases the clubs MOI (moment of interia) and makes it extremely forgiving.

With its performance-engineered adjustable hosel, the G25's hosel design is optimized by using a lightweight titanium screw and aluminum hosel sleeve. The design maintains the same outer diameter and mass as Ping's traditional fixed hosels. This provides the benefits of adjustability (+/- 1/2 degree) without sacrificing the performance that's often lost in clubs with larger, bulkier hosel designs.

When Ping launched the Ping G20 Driverin 2011, it was proven to be one of the most forgiving drivers on the market. The new Ping G25 driver continues that trend. It is the largest-profile, most forgiving driver Ping have made and now features Ping's modern matt black finish.Ping engineers made structural reinforcements to the crown, sole and skirt in order to offer the G25 a solid feel and sound. Variable thickness behind the face powerfully transfers the energy of a players swing into the ball, producing fast ball speeds leading to greater distances off the tee.

Thinner crown sections in the Ti 8-1-1 head allow weight re-distribution to further optimize the CG position. Structural reinforcements in the crown, sole, and skirt ensure durability and provide a solid feel and sound.With a larger face than the G20, the G25 offers greater forgiveness across the entire face. The variable-thickness face delivers a powerful energy transfer for faster ball speeds and greater distances.

All in all,it is a great driver that I hit 10-15 yds. Longer than my old one. Even the off center hits go further. It has a soft feel off the tee yet the ball jumps off the club face.I would recommend the G25 for anyone of any handicap seeking a longer and straighter ball flight off the tee.
