Nick has been an avid golf fan since the age of ten and became obsessed with the professional game after watching Mike Weir and Shaun Micheel win The Masters and PGA Championship respectively in 2003. Most of his online work is opinion-based and typically centres around the Majors and significant events in the global golfing calendar. He is responsible for managing production of the magazine, sub-editing, commissioning and feature writing. Nick Bonfield joined Golf Monthly in 2012 after graduating from Exeter University and earning an NCTJ-accredited journalism diploma from News Associates in Wimbledon. Golf Monthly's technical gurus Neil Tappin and Paul O'Hagan have also produced a video explaining the differences between the G30 LS Tec, the standard G30 and the G30 SF Tec. The new driver will retail at £299 and it is available to purchase now. The likes of Ping staff players Lee Westwood, Billy Horschel and Bubba Watson all use a slightly shorter shafts than the majority of pros on tour. In the video above, Neil also tries out two different shaft lenghts to see if that has an impact on distance and dispersion. Shaft options will include the TFC 419d, the Ping Tour 65g and the Ping Tour 80g, all of which encourage a lower launch with less spin.

The Ping G30 LS Tec driver comes in both 9º and 10.5º heads, with four extra loft settings available through the adjustable hosel. What's more, a thin face maximises the spring of the face to again driver faster ball speeds. Ping's latest driver should spin at 400rpm less than the original G30, creating a lower launch angle and less spin, which translates to longer drivers.Īs with the standard G30, crown turbulators reduce aerodynamic drag to increase clubhead speed and ball velocity.
