Ping – Bubba Watson changes to the new G30, an even faster driver

July 4, 2014 – From Phoenix, the headquarters of Ping in Arizona (U.S.), Bubba Watson shows us his new G30 driver with Turbulator Technology. A golf club that, as the Trackman radar records, allows him to drive the swing a little faster.

In this video he gives us a demonstration, hiting a G30 driver which has been customized for him, as it has his usual pink colour. So what is the result?

​TRACKMAN RECORDS
The club Speed is 120.8 mph, some 2mph faster than with his previous G25. As a result the Ball Speed is 184.5 mph, some 4 mph faster than with the G25. Then, he registers a spectacular Launch Angle of 15 degrees, with an Attack Angle of 5.7 degrees making an extraordinary combination, for a Spin Rate of 1.895, and that is why Bubba hits these booms so high (Height up to 141.1 feet) and so long.

The best comes when we look at the Carry, up to 338.8 yards, earning 10 yards over the G25, for a Total shot of 362.3 yards in length. The Landing Angle is 40.5 degrees, which is amazing considering the launch angle of 15 degrees.

And perhaps the most extraordinary data of the Trackman is the Hang Time, as the powerful drive of Bubba keeps the golf ball in the air for 7.58 seconds!

Really… a long time.
