Bubba Long..and I’m talking about more than just this story As we’ve told you countless times, we are #Datacratic. We’ll share some of the marketing angle with you, but ultimately we believe in the data and not much else. Of course, when the MyGolfSpy owner (Golfspy X) starts hitting balls over the huge fence with the PING built specifically to contain Bubba Watson’s monster drives, data or no data, we quickly get to thinking that PING might have something special.

Then again, not everybody can hit it as far as X and Bubba. So take it for the great story that it is and move on. While we’ll eventually get around to discussing things like forgiveness, playability, and all-around solid performance; the hallmarks of the G-series, the cutting to the chase of it dictates that we start with the most prominent feature of the new lineup. Turbulators Turbu-what? Turbulators and lest there’s a chance you forget, PING has embossed the word on the damn crown. Subtle guysreally subtle. One of the obstacles that absolutely every club designer struggles with is that a golf club head, particularly a driver head, is simply not aerodynamic by design.

You’ve got this giant mostly-flat face that transitions rather harshly to the crown. As far as moving through air and space as efficiently as possible are concerned, it’s less than ideal.

Success will require them to not just act cooperatively, but to think cooperatively. Torrent portal.2.linux-activated. The game’s two-player cooperative mode features its own entirely separate campaign with a unique story, test chambers, and two new player characters. This new mode forces players to reconsider everything they thought they knew about portals.

The Covert comes with one head and features 15 adjustable-loft settings. The dual-axis hosel allows for loft adjustments between 8.5 and 12.5 degrees, and there are three independent face-angle. PING offers a variety of grip sizes and styles to fit different hand sizes and texture preferences. Since grip size influences your wrist action, and therefore the direction of your shots, it is commonly used by fitters to affect ball flight.

It basically sucks. In terms of pure aerodynamics, a smaller face with a more gradual, elongated, transition to the crown is a much more efficient design. Unfortunately, that type of design doesn’t work particularly well for hitting golf balls (especially when you care as much about MOI as PING does), which makes it less than practical considering the intended purpose. That’s where the Turbulators come in. In the most basic of terms, Turbulators are a means to improve the overall aerodynamics of the clubhead without compromising on the intended purpose of the design (to hit golf balls long and straight), or substantially reducing head volume and, as a consequence, dramatically lowering MOI. Here’s the really odd part, PING’s Turbulators actually increase drag.

You’d think that would actually slow the clubhead down, right? You’d be wrong. Through the use of computational fluid dynamics (smoke tests and whatnot), PING’s engineers figured out that they could use precisely placed Turbulators to make the air stick (or flow closer) to the clubhead for a longer period of time. Effectively what the Turbulators do is reduce the wake produced by the clubhead, which actually reduces the drag coefficient.

If your phone is connected, but not recognized, you may need to install one of these software drivers: - - 3. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to: One Click Root for Windows 7/Vista 1.

(Information on this post was taken from Pete's website: ) NOTE: If you were rooted on the original OTA and took the update to.602 and lost root, read the 'Droid X' notes under the how-to.

Despite that initial increase in drag, the existence of Turbulators results in a net gain in clubhead speed for a majority of golfers. Let me dumb it down for the guys like me: Turbulators allow to move through the air like a smaller-faced driver while still maintaining the low/rear CG placement that’s imperative to G-series design. It’s all really scientific stuff.

By way of comparison, to get the same speed gains by changing the size of the driver head, (assuming the same shape), PING would have needed to shrink the G25 down to 362cc, and thereby reduce the MOI by 34%. Nobody wants that.

Not even TaylorMade (I kidI kid) The Downside of Aerodynamic Improvements Let’s make one thing impossibly clear. Aerodynamics matter. It’s one of a few very obvious ways that golf companies can increase distance within the confines of the USGA’s tidy little box. If, through design, you can speed up the clubhead (make the golfer swing faster), you’re going to increase ball speed as well, and folks, more ball speed equals more distance. That’s pretty simple.
