The Ping G LS Tec is the low-spin head in Ping's 2016 G driver family, and it exists for one reason: to knock spin off the ball for players who launch it too high and spinny with everything else. LS stands for Low Spin, and Ping meant it. Where the standard G is built for outright forgiveness, this head trades a little of that safety net for a flatter, more penetrating flight that runs out on firm fairways.

At 445cc it is slightly more compact than the 460cc standard G head, which gives it a marginally more workable feel at address without shrinking down into a players-only footprint. The crown carries Ping's turbulators, those little raised ridges near the leading edge, plus the Dragonfly crown structure that shaves weight up top and moves it low and toward the center. The result is a driver that spins less but still holds a reasonably high launch, so you keep carry without ballooning.

This is a Tour-category club, which tells you who Ping was aiming at. If you have decent clubhead speed and your miss is a high, floaty ball that falls out of the sky short of where it should land, the LS Tec is the head that fixes that specific problem. It won't turn a slice into a draw, and it isn't trying to.

• Faster swingers who spin the driver too high and lose distance to a ballooning ball flight.
• Players who want a flatter, more penetrating trajectory that releases and rolls out on firm turf.
• Anyone who found the standard G launched and spun higher than they wanted off the tee.
• Golfers comfortable giving up a small amount of forgiveness in exchange for lower spin and a more workable head.

常见问题

What does LS Tec mean on the Ping G driver?

LS Tec stands for Low Spin Technology. It's the low-spin head in the 2016 G driver lineup, built with the center of gravity positioned to reduce backspin and produce a flatter, more penetrating ball flight than the standard G head.

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

The LS Tec head is 445cc versus 460cc on the standard G, and it's tuned to spin less with a slightly more workable feel. The standard G is more forgiving and launches a bit higher, while the LS Tec is aimed at players who need to take spin off the ball.

Who should play the G LS Tec instead of the standard G or SF Tec?

Choose the LS Tec if you have good clubhead speed and your driver spins too much or launches too high. The standard G suits players wanting maximum forgiveness, and the SF Tec is the draw-biased head for fighting a slice.

Does the G LS Tec still keep decent carry distance with lower spin?

Yes. Ping designed it to drop spin while holding a reasonably strong launch, so you keep carry rather than driving the flight too low. The payoff is more rollout on firm fairways once the ball lands.

Is the Ping G LS Tec a good fit for a mid handicapper?

It can be, but only if high spin is genuinely your issue. Slower or moderate swing speeds usually benefit more from the standard G's forgiveness and higher launch. If your driver already launches low, the LS Tec is the wrong direction.
