I play the Ping G30 7wd & it's nice & easy to hit straight and up to 170yds for me, at the 21deg setting. Hit a nice ball, which you can drop on the green, with just a normal swing. Sometimes I play in back in my stance, to play under a headwind; carrying a driver, 5 & 7wds always - where I play, I don't have any use for the 3wd...

At least you were able to satisfy your own mind, as to how you would play each one. I was out a few days ago and fortunately the wind was down from the last time I hit the G Driver, but the course was a little wet from the previous night's rain; again using the same ball (V1) & driver still set at 10.5, I was able to crank out a few nice drives, after warming up on a few holes. Being that my usual shot is a little draw, my longest 2 were 245 &239yds - the others ranged from 195 & 220yds. Needless to say, I was pleased, considering that I thought yardages like the first two were beyond my capabilities amymore, being a senior. For me this driver is easy to hit, feels great and will stay in the bag for foreseeable future... Hope you find one that give you what you are looking for...

Distance is about 20 more yards per drive w/the G; I played both of these drivers in 10-12mph wind conditions & have not had an opportunity to take the G out when wind is minimal - it's always going to be longer than the G, even at less loft. As far as sound goes - I don't know if more muted would be the best way to describe it, but it's a better sound than the G30 & V1 was the ball. The only way you'll know is to go hit one, wish you the best...

I have been playing the G30, SR Flex, TFC shaft, 11.5deg for a while and it's an easy to hit, straight driver with good distance. I p/u a G Driver, in SR Flex, Alta shaft, 10.5deg; having now played both, am posting my comparison of the two. Both have the same static specs (D3, 10.750oz, 310gms) were played on the same course, tees, ball (V1) wind conditions and of course the same golfer - my results below: *Note (the G30 was being played at 11.5deg & the G was played at it's standard configuration (10.5deg) - major reviews had indicated that the new G Driver, because on design could be played at a lower loft with equal results... A - Handles wind better, B - Hits the ball the same height, further distance, C - Has ability to hit a draw easily (I'm not a fader usually), D - Notable distance increase on 99% of drives... Yes, to me the G Driver is all-around better than the G30 (still a nice driver); playing the G at 1deg less loft has it's advantages too. I have played the Cobra Fly-Z, Taylor M2 and the Pings - although I might see opposition, the G Driver is longer/straighter than those mentioned. I have not been a Ping guy, but the facts speak for themselves. My irons are Mizuno JPX850 Forged. I hope this comparison will help anyone who is seeking a new driver...

New member, retired; have a love for the game & been playing for many years - Nice to be here... Will submit a post on my comparison of the Ping G & G30 Driver; perhaps it will help others, if they're considering the new G driver...
