Ping to sell 5,000 Bubba-inspired pink G30 drivers
If you’re ever wanted a Ping G30 driver that looks like the one Bubba Watson uses, here’s your chance. Ping is selling 5,000 all-pink G30 drivers and will donate $60 for each driver sold to the Bubba Watson Foundation.
The Bubba Watson Foundation was founded by the golfer and his wife, Angie, and states its mission as “enhanc[ing] the every-day lives of people in need with a particular emphasis on helping and inspiring children, young adults, and those associated with the U.S. Military.”
[quote_box_center]“Bubba has a huge heart and continues to use his success on the golf course to help people in need, especially children,” said John A. Solheim, PING Chairman & CEO. “As we’ve seen on the golf course with his shot-making skills, he’s a creative thinker and his decision to distinguish himself by using a pink driver and shaft helped make this program possible. We’re blessed with the opportunity to partner with Bubba and are very grateful to golfers who choose to support this program for the benefit of the Bubba Watson Foundation.”[/quote_box_center]
The G30 drivers ($550 MSRP) are currently available for pre-order through Ping authorized retailers. They’re available in right-handed (9.5 and 10.5 degrees) and left-handed (10.5 degrees) models, and come with all-Pink Ping TFC 914D shafts (R and S flexes).

I was looking forward to this and even thinking it would knock my G25 out of the bag from last year. Not cool only offering left hand in 10.5* and R or S regular version head . I wanted a G30 LS 9*and Xshaft. 0 for 3 for what I need and wants. $90 Pant job really?
What is more comical are the ones on Ebay for $1000-1200 already a week before it has even shipped! 5000 is Not that limited flippers!! WTH

This just end… After reading GD’s scathing article about PGA Tour pros disdain for Bubba, Ping has cut production of Bubba’s pink driver to Bubba-only personal prototypes.

Worse than TMAG white heads or Nike Red/Volt colors, but i don’t see people mocking Ping?

It’s a charity thing. And a good driver. Nothing wrong with this move by PING.

bubba has a one-off custom slightly smaller and lower spinning G30, if that’s the head they sold i’d buy one.
a pink normal g30 is rubbish and is paying for paint
jason
Apr 6, 2015 at 11:17 pm
This is not true. Bubba’s G30 is not smaller. And any modification of spin would be through the use go G-loo which WRX will do for any customer who asks.
John Jones
Apr 8, 2015 at 10:33 pm
Bubba’s driver is the same size as every G30 and is not lower spinning due to Giloo either. Bubba does however play a very low lofted G30 due to his ball speed and club head speed…Bubba is a guy whose stock shot is a 20 yard cut gonna need some spin to hit that shot…and his bomb is launched at 15 w 1800 spin because he swing up 5 at it. You sir need to talk of what you know and not try to look cool.

I wants one. Are they going on sale in Canada?

Apr 6, 2015 at 1:20 pm
I want one. But if I was going to play a pink driver that screams Bubba long, I would have to play a long 48″ shaft to hit it that far. Otherwise, why buy one? To put on a shelf?

So take a $350 driver, paint it pink, charge $550 and donate $50 to charity? Hmmm something doesn’t add up…
JE
Apr 6, 2015 at 11:47 am
Actually, Morton’s Golf has them for $499 so your math is off. More like 500 – 60 = $440. $60 to a foundation that supports people in need sounds like a good deal for everyone.

Relax Archimedes, i was using the $550 quoted in this article wasn’t going out looking for actual quotes, and I’m petty sure when this article 1st went up it read that $50 was going to charity they either edited it or I was mistaken… But lets use your numbers, still an additional ~$90 profit per club or $450K over 5000 clubs under the guise of helping a charity.
