2013 PING G25 Driver and Fairway Woods Spotted!
We spotted Hunter Mahan and Bubba Watson using Ping’s new G25 driver and fairway woods on the range at the World Challenge hosted by Tiger Woods at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
Mahan was hitting a G25 Driver (9.5 degrees) as well as a 15-degree G25 fairway wood.
Watson was playing a G25 Driver with his signature pink crown and graphics (8.5 degrees) and a 16.5-degree G25 fairway wood.
The driver has the same adjustability as Ping’s Anser Driver (0.5 degrees higher or lower than stamped loft) and is scheduled to be available at retail in mid-February.
Take a look at the photos below, and click here for more discussion and photos of Watson and Mahan’s range session in the forums.

New Level has been making some really good golf equipment since the company started up in 2018. Offering irons that are more geared towards the better player, precision has been a fundamental philosophy for New Level in creating irons and wedges.
The 480 line of irons has been the flagship of the brand, and the newest member of that team is the 480-DB iron that is now open to pre-orders. A new cavity design is what the whole 480 line is about, and the 480-DB takes advantage of that with added ball speed and a larger sweet spot.
For players who require their irons to offer the best feel, rest assured the DB is a fully forged (from 1020 carbon steel) one-piece golf club. No multi-piece, hollow design with this iron.
While the 480-DB is the next generation of the popular 902-OS, New Level didn’t follow the current trend in golf by chasing distance with the new iron. They actually weakened the lofts on the 480-DB with the spec sheet showing a 33-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge. These lofts allow the DB to have less offset while still offering consistent distance off the face.
A traditional design was also at the forefront of the new irons to make sure that golfers with an eye for detail can look down at them with confidence that they will perform under any condition.
A weight low in the back cavity will allow their master club builders to dial in the perfect weight for the golfer, no matter the length or shaft being used. New Level believes that the new 480-DB is one of the most forgiving one-piece forged irons on the market today. A pre-worn leading edge on the sole should get through the turf quickly and with reduced digging for better turf interaction.
You can pre-order the New Level 480-DB right now on the New Level website.

Snell Golf has today introduced its new 2024 Prime golf ball lineup.
Per Snell, the new lineup focuses on offering urethane technology at an affordable price, while optimizing the golf ball performance based on player swing speed, or a more frequently known data point, 7-iron distance.
Regarding the new release, Dean Snell, owner and CEO, said
“As our company has evolved over the last 9 years we continue to learn more about our customers and what we can do to make golf ball selection easy for the amateur golfer. Sometimes there is just too much data, described as ‘paralysis by analysis,’ leaving many golfers feeling overwhelmed. The new lineup is positioned to make it easy for our players to choose their model based on swing speed, or an even simpler metric of their 7-iron distance. Each model is designed to give those player profiles total overall performance and do so at a price point that makes sense for their game and their wallet.”
Prime 2.0, Prime 3.0, and Prime 4.0 offer three performance levels and three price points to fit golfers of different capabilities.
Prime 2.0
A new, two-piece urethane golf ball ball designed for slower swing speed golfer. A high-speed core is designed to offer players higher spin and higher launch to promote overall carry distance. This works with the urethane cover for higher short-game spin than other two-piece balls on the market, according to the company. The new XV3 Urethane cover aims to provide very soft feel, excellent durability, and superior greenside control.
Price: $24.99 per dozen.
Prime 3.0
Total performance for a wide range of golfers, this is a three-piece urethane golf ball that evolves from the previous “MTB PRIME” and “MTB BLACK” models, designed to provide high ball speed and low long game spin that most players desire. The mantle layer is designed for controlling iron spin to mid-high levels needed to execute every shot in the bag, while the brand’s NEW XV3 Urethane cover aims to provide softer feel, ultimate greenside control, and improved durability.
Price: $32.99 per dozen.
Prime 4.0
Designed for mid to high-swing speed players, this model is a four-piece urethane golf ball designed to provide golfers with leading performance. An ultra fast core and low spin aims to offer superior distance, while the mantle layers work to offer higher short iron spin and optimal launch for long irons. The XV3 Urethane cover provides ultimate greenside control, excellent durability, and a slightly firmer feel on this model.
Price: $34.99 per dozen.
The 2024 Prime 2.0 and Prime 3.0 golf ball models will be offered in a high visibility white and optic yellow immediately, shipping April 22n on SnellGolf.com. The Prime 4.0 will also be on pre-sale in white on April 22, shipping May 1. Yellow 4.0 model expected to be available June 1.

I was hitting a 9 degree Ping G15 driver (less than a year old) and it was a wonderful club. It was staight ,long and accurate for me. Some glue came loose in the head and there became a slight rattle. I had the golf shop send it back to Ping to be fixed and 2 weeks later I received back a new 9.5 degree G25. I have hit it at the indoor range and on the launch monitor and the numbers and accuracy were better than my old G15. I am looking forward to getting outside once the snow is gone and hitting it. Thanks Ping, you have made a wonderful club in the G25 driver and to get it for the price of postage was a real bonus

I LOVE my G15 driver but this is one Ping I will take a hard look at.

Love the flat black. This is the one I will wait on. Been thinking about changing my R9. Ive had the G5 and G10 and liked them both.

Hey Persimmon…..sorry I mean Purist Paul, my friend Balata Bob has a gross of Titleist 384 wound balata tour balls in his garage for you! You can place bid on eBay and get a good deal so you don’t damage your furniture with modern day technology.

Ping is mass produced like most companies but have a great reputation as being one of the best quality out there! Don’t knock em til you try em!
JEFF

The people who are calling ping drivers ugly are lost. Since the G 5 they are as traditional looking as any of the top drivers on the market. I looked at them next to Titeleist and see very litte that is distracting. I think Taylor made, Callaway and the retro looking Clevelands are far more weird looking……. but then I play i20 from woods to irons and they are some of the best if not the best on the maket right now.

Have they released irons yet?

I think Purist Paul is what we call this time of year a Troll-lol-lol-lol-lol.
Ping did a nice job with these aesthetically. I’ll give them a look for sure.
Chris
Dec 2, 2012 at 9:54 pm
I do like what PING continues to do. These clubs look great, but since I dented the face on 2 G20 drivers I have moved on to GEEK GOLF Drivers. Can’t wait to see how far Bubba hits these next season.

Pretty inferior in the adjustability department compared to Titleist/Cobra/Nike. Not worth the 100 extra bucks it will cost you!

Why would you want to get it “pink like Bubbas??!” Lame. When I walk by the Apple store I’ll be sure to waive! LMFAO

Are they going to make an I25?
Adam
Dec 10, 2012 at 1:50 pm
I 25 will be in the Fall of 2013
WOW

How can we get it in pink like Bubbas??!
AJ
Nov 30, 2012 at 2:37 pm
Bubba’s Pepto-pink clubhead gives me a migraine just looking at it… but he can hit it further than me anytime, so I guess I have to be jealous. LOL I love the piano black look because it’s easy to clean, and I treat my clubheads with Rain-X for that reason. Looks like I’m getting a new driver next year, if this thing hits as mean as it looks!

How much? $299 or $399?
$299 – its in my bag
$399 – It would be hard to replace my G20
dht0013
Dec 1, 2012 at 11:29 pm
you know its going to be $399. They always are. When nobody buys them at $399, they’ll drop to $299. Ping never fails. They are soooo predictable!

Actually the Ping Map will be $349.99 and the will sell

Finally a good looking Ping driver! Now they have caught up to the clean look and forgiveness of the TM Superquad from 2006. It will be nice to own a Ping club. Hopefully this minimalism will lead to some clean forged musclebacks.

Guess what guys… I’ll still wax every one of you hitting persimmon. Good luck to you with this hollow piece of garbage.

I guess that’s why so many pros use persimmon still. Oh wait. They’re all using the so called “hollow garbage” 🙂
Purist Paul
Dec 1, 2012 at 11:00 am
Pros can’t even hit 50% of their fairways with these hollow pieces of garbage. What chance do you have? I’m sticking with persimmon
SunnyD
Dec 1, 2012 at 1:37 pm
Are you making millions playing golf with your persimmon woods? Probably not…

Man Tiger Woods sure sucks for using these hollow things hu? Just shut up, you’re worse than a hipster.

I agree but i am not the biggest fan of the design. I like the look of the I20’s better and hope that the I25;s will be a lot better.

Oh by the way PING– PLEASE offer a few shaft options on the fairways! PLEASE!

Raaaawr– Wonder how they designed the head as far as spin goes, especially compared to G20, Anser…

Love ping. sweet looking clubs.

Love it!! I have the Anser and I can’t wait to see how it compares to this. No frills…just good quality clubs from Ping as always.
