Ping G812 Junior Driver

Who’s It For?

The Ping 2016 G812 Driver is specifically designed for junior golfers between the ages of 8 and 12. The club is carefully engineered with an optimized head, shaft, swingweight, and length to suit this target player's physical needs. Its primary goal is to provide a significant performance boost for young players, as demonstrated by its ability to generate faster ball speed, greater distance (15 yards more in testing), and a 50% higher MOI compared to other industry-leading junior drivers.

The Tech Story

The Ping G812 Junior Driver integrates several advanced technologies, miniaturized and optimized for junior golfers. The 460cc head features a highly Aerodynamic Crown that incorporates Ping's full suite of drag-reducing innovations—namely Dragonfly Technology, Vortec Technology, and Turbulators—all working to generate significant clubhead speed, distance, and forgiveness for young players. The head also boasts a fully machined face to maximize performance. Crucially, the club utilizes a specialized Lightweight Shaft weighing only 40 grams and featuring a counter-balanced design. This lightweight and balanced configuration allows junior players to simultaneously increase energy, momentum, and Moment of Inertia (MOI) at impact, translating directly into faster ball speeds and more distance while maintaining the necessary stability for greater accuracy.
