Ping G SF Tec Driver

Loft Options & Stock Shafts

Max Game Improvement Driver

The Ping G SF Tec is the slice-fighter in Ping's 2016 G driver family, and it doesn't try to hide what it's built for. SF stands for Straight Flight, and Ping engineered this head to help golfers who leak the ball right find something closer to the center of the fairway. If your standard miss is a fade that turns into a slice by the time it lands, this is the version of the G driver Ping made for you.

Under the crown it uses the same core tech as the rest of the 2016 G line. The Dragonfly crown thins out the top of the head to save weight, and Ping moved that saved mass low and toward the heel to close the face a touch through impact. The row of turbulators across the crown cuts drag so the head moves a little faster, and the whole club is built slightly lighter than the standard G to help slower and moderate swings pick up speed. Add the Trajectory Tuning 2.0 hosel and you can dial loft up or down to fine-tune launch.

This is a forgiving, correction-minded driver, not a workhorse for someone who already shapes shots both ways. A player with a strong draw will likely see it overcook into a hook. But for the golfer fighting a chronic slice, the SF Tec quietly takes some of that right-side miss out of the equation without asking you to change your swing.

• You fight a slice or a persistent fade and want a driver that helps square the face without a swing overhaul.
• Your swing speed is moderate and a slightly lighter head helps you get the clubhead moving faster.
• You want adjustability to tune launch and loft as your game changes, thanks to the Trajectory Tuning 2.0 hosel.
• You value a high, straight ball flight and forgiveness over the ability to work the ball both directions.
• You already play or like the standard Ping G but need more built-in draw bias to stop leaking shots right.

Câu hỏi thường gặp

What does SF Tec mean on the Ping G driver?

SF stands for Straight Flight. It's Ping's draw-biased version of the 2016 G driver, built with internal weight low and toward the heel to help close the face at impact and fight a slice. It sits alongside the standard G and the low-spin LS Tec in the same family.

Is the Ping G SF Tec adjustable?

Yes. It uses the Trajectory Tuning 2.0 hosel with five settings, letting you adjust loft roughly a degree up or down. That changes your launch and spin, so you can fine-tune ball flight without swapping the head.

Will the G SF Tec stop my slice completely?

It won't erase a slice on its own, but it will reduce how far right the ball misses. The heel-weighted design and closed-face bias help square the club through impact. If your slice comes from a big out-to-in path, you'll still want some swing work, but the SF Tec takes the edge off the right-side miss.

How is the SF Tec different from the standard Ping G driver?

The standard G is a neutral, all-around driver. The SF Tec adds a draw bias by shifting internal weight toward the heel, and it's built slightly lighter overall to help moderate swing speeds. If you don't slice, the standard G is the better pick. If you do, the SF Tec is the one to try.

What lofts does the Ping G SF Tec come in?

It comes in 10 and 12 degree stock lofts, both adjustable about a degree in either direction through the hosel. The 12 degree suits slower speeds or anyone who wants more height and a stronger anti-slice effect, while the 10 degree launches a bit lower.
