The Ping G2 driver is a classic golf club that was part of Ping's G series lineup. Released in the early 2000s, the Ping G2 driver was known for its innovative design and performance features. Here are some key highlights and features of the Ping G2 driver:

1. Forgiveness: The Ping G2 driver was renowned for its forgiving nature. Its large, 400cc clubhead provided a high Moment of Inertia (MOI), which helped reduce the negative effects of off-center hits and provided more consistent ball flight.

2. Tungsten Weighting: The G2 driver featured a Tungsten weight pad located at the back of the sole. This weight placement helped lower the center of gravity, which in turn promoted a higher launch angle and increased carry distance.

3. Trajectory Tuning Technology: The Ping G2 driver introduced the Trajectory Tuning Technology, allowing golfers to adjust the driver's loft by +/- 1 degree. This feature allowed players to fine-tune their ball flight based on their preferences and playing conditions.

4. Optimized Face Design: The clubface of the G2 driver was designed to provide consistent ball speeds across a larger area, ensuring that shots hit on different parts of the face still maintained distance and accuracy.

The goal? To give you, the golfer, the truth about the golf gear you’re spending your money on and companies you’re giving money to.

Why? Your game is our job. It’s that simple. You want to play better golf and we want you do just that..

Your game is the first thing we think about when we’re testing a new driver. It’s the sole consideration when it comes to recommending a new pair of golf shoes. It’s the only thing that really matters to us.

Starting out in golf sometimes can be overwhelming. So many boxes to check: Equipment, swing mechanics, course etiquette and even what to wear.

On the topic of apparel, one question we get quite often from new golfers is, “On which hand should I wear a golf glove?”

Let’s dive into it.

The Big Question: What Hand Do You Wear a Golf Glove On?

The simple answer is that you should wear a golf glove on your non-dominant hand. This would be the hand that sits at the top of the golf grip (closest to your body). 

Why do golfers wear gloves on the non-dominant hand? Grip. Your non-dominant hand (or lead hand) is the strongest point of contact between you and your club. Any slippage or movement between your hand and the club could result in a loss of control and an errant shot.
