    Ping G5 Launch Angle

    Curious to know how other users have faired with the launch conditions of their G5 drivers. Is the launch angle of these more or less than that of a similar lofted driver? I know most of these new heads are for 'high launch, low spin', but relatively speaking, for the degree of loft stamped on the head, does it launch alot higher than the stated loft?

    I have a 9* G5 from the Ping Wrx Dept on the way...and I'm thinking it may be too low for me, as I am already 'launch angle challanged'.

    Perhaps the high launch is the result of the shaft's make-up? Maybe it has a very low kickpoint which would result in a much higher ball flight? The stated loft may be incorrect as many are but I would put good money on the shaft.
