Ping released a Straight Flight and SF versions of the G driver, just like before. These are available in 10deg or 12deg versions. The sole weight of this driver is located slightly towards the heel, creating a slight draw bias that will straighten those fades.

To help the club turnover more easily it is also a D1 swing weight, two points lighter than the standard version.

It looked just the same visually, which is why SF is so great. The draw effect is created without the use of offsets or other techniques that are visible to anyone at address.

Compared to the standard version on Trackman, it actually went a little further, possibly due to the 10deg loft being slightly stronger than the 10.5deg.

It was more precise for me with tighter shots dispersed in the middle to left and not the center to right. Ping states that it provides approximately 12 yards of left correction for your shots. This is consistent with my own experience.

When I reviewed the G30 driver, I mentioned that the SF TEC was my favorite because it was much easier to hit. It isn’t for high-handicappers or slashers. This is for everyone who doesn’t hook it regardless of ability so go for a fitting and see if it works for you. You can put the hook in the bag if it works.
