July 16, 2024 –<\/strong> Engineered with the score-lowering technologies of its adult line and inspired by its on-going commitment to introduce more juniors to the game, PING<\/strong> announced today the next generation of its custom-fit, custom-built Prodi G junior clubs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The new Prodi G clubs are available for custom fitting and pre-order at authorised PING golf shops around the world beginning today.<\/p>\n

Along with performance improvements throughout the set, the company is introducing WebFit Junior<\/strong>, a web app that recommends club specifications and set makeup based on the answers to a few questions about the junior player.<\/p>\n

\u201cFocusing on the needs of junior golfers and utilising the technology of our adult product lines, we\u2019ve advanced the performance of the new Prodi G family to deliver more distance while launching the ball higher to help ensure juniors experience consistently good shots and have fun on the course,\u201d<\/em> said John K. Solheim<\/strong>, PING CEO & President.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve also expanded the build range of the entire set, allowing us to better fit a wider height range of players using the new junior fitting app. With junior golf growing at a very high rate, we\u2019re excited to bring all this to parents who want to get their kids started with a premium, high-performance set of clubs, custom fit and custom built just for them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The custom-engineered set is comprised of 10 clubs and two putter options: a 15\u2070 titanium driver, 22\u2070 fairway wood, 28\u2070 hybrid, perimeter-weighted irons (6-9, PW), specialty wedges (54\u2070 S & 58\u2070 H) and tour-proven putter models (Anser and Tyne H). The lightweight clubs can be ordered in any combination. Two sizes of the Hoofer Prodi G carry bag<\/strong> (34″, 4.3 lbs. and 30″, 4 lbs.) can be purchased separately.<\/p>\n

The proven technologies applied to the new Prodi G include thinner, more flexible faces to increase ball speed in the metal woods, and irons engineered with lower CGs for more distance and higher launch. The iron\u2019s custom tuning port allows for precise swing weighting during the custom-building process. Two lightweight graphite shafts are optimised for length, weight and balance to match junior swing speeds. The two putter options offer a traditional blade or more contemporary mallet style.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To help parents find the ideal combination of clubs for their junior golfers, PING\u2019s Fitting Science team developed WebFit Junior, a web app that recommends club specifications and set makeup based on the answers to a few questions about the player. The process takes less than two minutes to complete.<\/p>\n

The junior golfer\u2019s skill level, age, height, wrist-to-floor and average driver distance are factored into the recommendations. Among the outputs from the data is a gapping-analysis feature that allows users to experiment with the set makeup by adding or removing clubs to see the effect on distance gaps.<\/p>\n

\u201cWebFit Junior is an amazing app and full of very useful features, whether the junior golfer is just getting started or is already advancing as a competitive player,\u201d<\/em> said John K. Solheim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s consistent with our commitment to providing golfers of all ages and abilities with the latest fitting technologies to help lower their scores. The gapping-analysis tool is great for parents looking to optimise a set for their young golfers. It gives them the ability to experiment with different options as they determine the best set makeup for their junior. The app also includes a Yardage Report, a printable resource detailing approximate distances by club for use on the course to help in club selection.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The company also announced the continuation of its popular \u201cGet Golf Growing\u201d<\/em><\/strong> programme, an industry-first junior golf equipment initiative that offers custom-fit and custom-built junior clubs that include a one-time, no-cost adjustment to sets of five clubs or more. The programme helps address an all-too-common occurrence that results in a lot of junior golfers playing clubs not suited to their games.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOne of the biggest barriers parents of junior golfers face is investing in a set of clubs that their kids will outgrow in a short time,\u201d<\/em> John K. Solheim<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur \u2018Get Golf Growing\u2019 programme is designed to be an affordable way to get juniors into high-performance, custom-fit clubs while bringing more boys and girls to the sport. The Prodi G clubs grow with the golfer. It\u2019s basically two sets for the cost of one. We believe if juniors are exposed to better equipment, they\u2019ll enjoy golf more, which will continue to grow the game as they fall in love with golf and play it for a lifetime.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To be eligible for the \u201cGet Golf Growing\u201d<\/em> programme, five or more clubs must be purchased in one transaction. Allowable adjustments are re-shafting, lengthening, re-weighting and re-gripping.<\/p>\n
