Hmmmmm very interesting, this really is the value of this sort of testing.
Of all these drivers, based on other reviews i have seen, its a
non-contest, I would buy the Ping G30. Its a gorgeous club. Do I think the
turbulators do anything ha ha ha. I really love the mat black finish and
the simplicity of the club. I dont give a toss about the numbers, they are
all good clubs. But, suddenly here we have the snag, FEEL. Rob says its
like hitting a brick, havent been told that before, suddenly we have
something valuable to consider, would I actually like hitting this club.
Great stuff you two 🙂 ?
No surprise that the turbulators don’t do much to help Rob’s swing speed.
They are designed to reduce aerodynamic drag by reducing the size of the
low pressure region behind the club, in a similar way that dimples on the
golf ball work. But at lower swing speeds, Rob isn’t as affected by drag as
someone who swings faster, so there’s less benefit to him of reducing that
drag.?
It is totally pointless to show these clubs been tested by an inconstant
club swinger .
Put them on a robot, who can hit each club out of the middle and heel and
toe, then compare the results.
You are getting right on my tits Mr Sheilds :)?
Ping G30 Driver 13 Handicap Testing with Rob Potter Ft Rick Shiels
@PingTour #G30Driver #PunkRocker ?
+Rick Shiels PGA Golf Professional Manchester I have to give my opinion
here since I have experience on the G30. 1st the turbulators are explained
by Ping to deliver minimum difference for slower swing speeds, but still
the point for them is to help the larger more forgiving head to go as fast
as the competition. And to the feel, I am a 13 hcp player but have about
110mph driver SS, and agree with the tester, there is not much feel in this
head. But it also has to do with the shaft, the 419 counterbalance shaft
makes the head feel better and is easy to swinng with nice tempo, but the
tour shaft makes the spin go down. I have the Tour S 65 in my G30 but will
try to find the 419 X for demo and see if it still has the better feel and
ease of swing but lower spin.. I suggest you let your tester try the blue
419 regular shaft in the G30, could be the best fit for him.?
Could it be the tour shaft that makes it feel like hitting a brick?
I’m curious why you did not use the standard TFC419D shaft?
Do you think the shorter length shaft of the Mizuno is giving him better
numbers? Possibly more consistent in hitting the sweet spot??
Thanks Rick for including mid-handicap golfers in your reviews now. That
is so much more helpful for average golfers like myself looking at new
equipment.?
I went from 9.5 callaway stiff shaft xhot driver where my longest drives
except the odd freak 300yrd went about 260 – 280 total, to g30 10.5 reg
shaft and now hit 280 -320. But the distance wasn’t the reason I changed,
the forgiveness and ease of use of the g30 is in a different league. My
scores have improved since the new driver and it without doubt my strongest
club. The added distance was a bonus and unexpected, but the big win in the
number of fairways I find myself in. Love it?
I got fittet for Ping G30 yesterday, and I loved the feel of the driver.
The Ping guy told me that the turbulators give up to 2% more clubhead
speed, so dont think of them too much guys ????. But it looks great ?????
Sorry, but why in the world would you put a guy with a 90mph swing speed in
a TOUR shaft? If he’d been hitting the 419, he wouldn’t have been feeling
like he was hitting a brick. Man, I don’t get it. ?
Y’all should test the bomb tech grenade driver!! Great videos guys!! I
watched them all with baited breath…?
I’ve been following this series more religiously than breaking bad.?
Loved the Stealth Fighter and Worf comments 🙂 ?
Rob watch the paul wilson video on how to generate clubhead speed. Sort you
right out mate.?
Always up for a knock, although my toes nearly dropped off today. ?
* broomstick, BOOMSTICK maybe. ?
Have you tried the new Cleveland Black driver its geared for people with
slower swing speeds. ?

¿Y para los que jugamos de zurdos qué?
¿Es lo mismo también?
