If we take PING drivers as an example, we can look at the 2006 G5 driver – a beloved figure on courses around the world in its heyday - compared to the various models in the brand-new PING G425 driver range. The G5 did give you a higher, more forgiving launch than most clubs at the time, and even came in an offset version to appeal to a wider range of golfers.

Taking that to another level, the G425 comes in a Max (maximum MOI), LST (low-spin technology) & SFT (straight flight technology) models, meaning all players are catered for. The Max version is PING’s most forgiving driver ever; leaps & bounds beyond our old-favourite G5, whilst the LST is compact and adjustable for workable ball flights and the SFT is weighted to help fight the slice.
