'GREAT DRIVER'
Strengths:
Head feels very stable at impact. I've got 7-degree loft model and it produces a penetrating flight
Weaknesses:
I bought a Fuji 757 to replace the original, had it pured and now have replaced the weakness.
Overall:
Great driver. Can't see the point in going to a G10. Would presumably have replace the shaft again.

The distance and control I get with this club is amazing has a solid feel and very forgiving.

None it's hard to find a fault with PERFECTION!!

Having used most driver's on the market i stumbled across my G2 by accident it was disgarded in a bag in the corner of Gainsborough G.C in Immaculate condition It was love at first sight. when i got it on the range i just couldn't believe how good the club's performance was it's been by far the best driver i've owned!! and mine was a bargain at £50!!!

'BEST DRIVER I HAVE HAD...BY MILES'
Strengths:
Forgiving with mishits, reasonably long and good value
Weaknesses:
Looks a bit odd with the toe slightly in the air
Overall:
After year of Callaway drivers, plus a Taylor Made I bought the G2 on a whim. Unfotunately some B***** nicked it from my bag in less than a week! However, I went back to the Pro and bought another, 8.5 stiff shaft, whereas my original was 10 degrees. Love it ever since. I would say my driving has improved 10-15% with the G2 and it was always one of my strengtht anyway. If only I could find some irons...

'BETTER THAN THE G5, (I KNOW - I HAD ONE).'
Strengths:
Gets the ball high in the air where it works better. Very forgiving, good centre mark embossed into the paintwork. A good driver for any ability that looks the part.
Weaknesses:
None to date
Overall:
Having moved from an 11 degree Hawkeye VFT to a 10.5 G5 with a pro-launc reg shaft, I thought I had found the ideal 460cc driver. What a disappointment, it was like playing with an 8 degree wood not a 10.5, I play off 21 and tried it for 6 months, even to the point of having a lesson to see what was wrong with my driving (with my VFT I could just point and pull the trigger).

While having a quick look in my club shop one day, I noticed an 11.5 degree G2 with a light reg shaft, took it out for a round and got on fantastic with it, finished the round, walked into the shop and did a straight swop.
In fact it's so good I bought the wife one as well. She also gets on great with it.

'LONG, FORGIVING AND NOW CHEAP, WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?'
Strengths:
Bought an 8.5 degree Ping G2 with 65S Aldila shaft 2nd hand from Ebay for £75. I think it's slightly longer than my Titleist 905T and definitely straighter and easier to hit consistently. Hits suprisingly high for 8.5 degrees.
Weaknesses:
The high flight can be a bad thing into the wind.
Overall:
A really good driver and I'd recommend one to anyone, especially given how cheap you can get them 2nd hand now.

'MAKES DRIVING A LOT EASIER'
Strengths:
1) Great feel and forgiveness
2) Quality and price
3) Variety of shafts
4) Accurate
Weaknesses:
1) None
Overall:
I brought this driver in August of last year and after a new course of lessons and a lot of practice I now have the confidence to take this out of the bag on the tee knowing that I can get the ball away successfully.

Not only does it inspire confidence when set up behind the ball, but more importantly for me, it has taken my game to the next level and I suddenly feel like I'm playing a new game. I no longer have to hit a 4 iron off the tee and struggle with distance as I now have the G2 in my bag and I know that one smooth swing later I'll be 220 yards down the fairway.

I know it has been superseeded by the G5, but this is a quality club and one that will remain in my bag for a very long time.

'GREAT FEEL, SOUND, DISTANCE, ACCURACY.'
Strengths:
Looks great behind the ball. Awesome feel and sounds great. Distance is superb (far better than my old Cobra 440sz) and I also find it is easy to hit straight, aswell as being fairly easy to shape the ball with. The price is yet another reason to buy this club.
Weaknesses:
None that i can think of.
Overall:
Great on everything, I really can't fault it, and it's available at an amazing price.

'GREAT CLUB THAT GOES FOR MILES'
Strengths:
Great performance - long, straight & forgiving. Looks and sounds good. easy to align with the half moon on top. Quality Aldila NV shaft
Weaknesses:
None that I have found
Overall:
I bought this second hand at the end of the season. What a bargain! Since then my game has improved massively as I am very rarely in deep trouble. May occasionally hit to semi but that shot would be in the trees with another driver.

'THE REAL DEAL'
Strengths:
Great sound off the face, sits square, hits it very long and very straight. Amazing consistency.
Weaknesses:
Absolutely none.
Overall:
Without doubt the best driver I've owned. 20+ yards longer than old driver (Deep Red), more forgiving and accurate. If you're in the market for a driver try one - if you're not try one anyway. Well done Ping!

'QUALITY DRIVER - BARGAIN PRICE!'
Strengths:
Looks, performance and the sound at impact.
Weaknesses:
Haven't found any yet!
Overall:
Superb all round club. It looks good, sits beautifully, sounds great at impact and is long yet forgiving.

Have been using Taylor Made XR05 for 18 months and thought it was the doggies doodas! For me the Ping G2 is better in every way. Try one, then buy one!
