SensorDry Pro Jacket

PING’s new Autumn/Winter apparel collection boasts a range of ground-breaking material technologies, including the first to use of graphene in golf clothing.

Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, and is the lightest, strongest and most conductive material ever discovered. In the all-new SensorDry 2.5 Graphene Waterproof suit and Elemental Polo, PING has incorporated a Graphene print to the inside of the fabric, creating superior performance and protection. The Graphene print helps conduct and retain heat, regulating the body temperature and aids comfort during play – becoming a perfect addition to winter wear.

The SensorDry Series continues to build on the previous season’s success, with the SensorDry 2.5 Graphene Waterproof suit headlining the updated range. It becomes the latest to join a well-established line of elite waterproofs and now features an innovative Graphene print. This new suit offers ultimate waterproof protection, whilst remaining ultra-lightweight with flexible stretch, windproof and breathable features, as well as the addition of thermal conductive properties, ensuring superior performance and protection from the elements.

The SensorDry Pro jacket now comes in four colour options, providing more choice to complete the winter look. A further development comes with the introduction of the SensorDry Pro Half-Zip jacket, available in two contemporary colour-blocked designs. To complete the expanding SensorDry Series, the SensorDry jacket now has five colour options to choose from, all engineered for waterproof protection in wet weather. The SensorDry headwear range also includes a bucket hat and a cap.

Other key garments come from the updated Norse Series, includes Norse S4 jacket, Norse S4 Zoned jacket and Norse S4 reversible vest. Each is engineered for superior warmth with the insulated properties provided by PrimaLoft technology, which continues to push the limits of lightweight warmth, unwavering comfort and performance.

The Norse S4 Zoned jacket is engineered with PrimaLoft Gold Insulation with Cross Core and focuses on core warmth and stretch wind-resistant fabric throughout, making this the perfect all-year round golf jacket. Also insulated withPrimaLoft Gold Insulation with Cross Core, the reversible Norse S4 vest is extremely light and provides superior levels of warmth without bulk.

The AW22 release also reveals the new SensorWarm Winter trouser, engineered for comfort and protection in cold weather. The trouser provides lightweight warmth with a brushed-back stretch fabric and superior water resistance to keep you warm and dry.

Norse S4 Vest

The new Elemental Polo showcases PING’s newly developed SensorWarm engineered with Graphene knitted stretch fabric. Like the SensorDry 2.5 Graphene Waterproof suit, the inside of the fabric incorporates a Graphene print, designed to absorb and maintain warmth. Its long sleeve polo shirt styling makes this the perfect winter base layer. The style also features flatlock seams for stretch and comfort and the hexagonal print at the back neck is a visual reference to the Graphene technology.

Feeling chipper? Then take a look at Ping’s latest club

Golfers who often prefer to use 7- or 8-iron to chip their ball from the fringes of the green, rather than take a more lofted – and riskier – wedge, will be excited to know that Ping has launched a new club, the ChipR, which combines elements of a putter and wedge to help golfer’s improve their performance around the greens.

The investment-cast, 431 stainless steel club is inspired by the PING Chipo, introduced by PING founder Karsten Solheim in the late 1970s for golfers who lacked confidence with a traditional wedge and frequently struggled around the green.

“Golfers who fear chunking or blading their chip shots are really going to benefit from the new PING ChipR,” said John K. Solheim, PING CEO & President. “We’ve learned a lot since my grandfather, Karsten Solheim, invented the Chipo, but his insights were spot on as always. Our research indicates that a third of golfers who tested the ChipR saw better results compared to a traditional wedge.

“We’ve engineered a lot of technology into the ChipR to help golfers avoid the poor chip shot and save strokes around the green. It represents another score-lowering option from our engineers for golfers in search of game improvement and more enjoyment on the golf course.”

With the length of a putter (35”) and a loft closer to a 9-iron (38.5°), the ChipR is designed to be used on shots of 40 yards or less around the green with a putting-like stroke, resulting in bump-and-run style shots that ensure the distance control and consistency that leads to shorter putts.

The ChipR is designed for shots hit from tight lies on the fringes of the green or the fairway for those who don’t fancy taking on a riskier shot with a lofted wedge

“Applying a putting-style stroke takes a lot of the margin for error out of chip shots and is more comfortable for a lot of golfers,” Solheim said. “Knowing that, we’re building the ChipR at our standard putter length and lie angle to make setting up to the ball easier while providing the right amount of loft to get the ball in the air and eventually rolling closer to the hole. We recommend applying the same amount of force for a putt of the same distance. A lot of golfers will be amazed at how easy it is to use and more importantly, the number of strokes they’ll be saving.”

The ChipR’s compact size and shallow face combine with the cambered sole to optimize performance and provide versatility from the rough and fringe. The precision milled MicroMax grooves deliver consistent and predictable trajectories for improved control.

“We designed the ChipR to fit seamlessly into a golfer’s set,” Solheim added. “Whether they replace an existing wedge or another club in their bag, it’s a tremendous option to save strokes around the green. Just like all our clubs, it’s forgiving and can be custom fit and custom built to match the needs of the player. We’re excited to get it into golfer’s hands so they can share their results with us and their playing partners can ask them how their short game got so good.”

The PING ChipR is available for custom fitting and pre-sell from today (July 12) at authorised PING golf shops around the world.
