Tour Winner
My preferences for a fairway wood are forgiving with the ability to be used from the tee and the fairway, so the G30 initially looked like it might give some good results as the face looks slightly taller than many other fairways (whether this is just a visual illusion I'm not sure but it suits me for off the tee shots). My initial thoughts that the turbolators would be a distraction were quickly erased after a few sweet hits. The head itself lines up nicely to the ball with the turbolators working quite well as an alignment aid, the head colour is matte black (slightly darker looking than the i20 that I've had before). Overall in terms of the visuals if you can get around the turbolators then it's a neat looking package.
The G30 fairway wood features 2° total adjustment to the hosel with a 0.6° midpoint position available, I have no idea why 0.6 was considered but I'm sure Ping has good reason. Other fairways have more overall adjustment but to be honest 1 up and 1 down will likely suit most people.
The Ping TFC shaft feels great and I found it nice and stable though out the swing, giving good feedback on impact, with a solid twack from the face. The ball soared away on the good hits, with very similar stats on every ball I hit with it.
