For most players, distance from the tee is a top priority. The key to hitting the longest drives possible with your swing is to hit the ball with the proper launch angle with the proper spin for your swing speed.
While many players believe that a low drive that rolls along the ground will give them maximum distance, this is usually not the case. The ideal trajectory for a driver is generally higher than most players presume, and the general rule is that the slower your swing speed, the more loft your driver should have.

PING engineers developed the new Si3 380 driver with six loft options, including a 12° loft for players with slower swing speeds. Players with a clubhead speed of approximately 80 mph or less with a driver will benefit from this higher loft, as well as more flexible shafts to help them achieve the optimal launch angle.

The technology in PING metal woods not only offers a high energy transfer for maximum ball speed, but also forgiveness on mis-hits and optimum spin rates for the proper roll when the ball hits the ground. For maximum control, PING metal woods are designed to be custom-fit for color code (lie angle) and are available with several shaft flex options and grip sizes.

The new G2 fairway woods have variable sole thicknesses which effectively changes the center of gravity to produce different amounts of spin, and roll, for each wood. The #3-wood's sole, for example, is thicker toward the face for maximum roll, while the L-wood's sole is thicker at the rear of the club for higher, softer-landing shots
