Decent looking Ping G20 Driver

The Ping G20 Driver is designed for all ability levels. External weighting helps launch the forgiving G20 driver with a high, low spinning ball flight for maximum distance and accuracy.

PING’s proprietary high-balance-point TFC 169D shaft creates a higher MOI and generates faster ball speeds enabling golfers to swing a clubhead with more mass at the same speed, for longer, straighter drives. The Ping G20 is a 460cc clubhead made from Ti 8-1-1, a lower-density, lighter alloy material. It’s high strength-to-weight ratio increases the MOI and allows additional weight to be strategically placed on the head. Large, variable-thickness in the Ping G20 Driver’s face increases MOI across the hitting surface and generates faster ball speeds for increased forgiveness and power.

As a general rule PINGs aren’t the prettiest-looking clubs, but looks aren’t everything. Although it helps to have a driver that has an appearance that inspires confidence while you’re standing over the ball, high-level performance is even more important. And the PING G20 driver delivers that kind of performance. In fact, it’s built to deliver a nice blend of forgiveness and power. Along the way, it also manages to have some reasonably-decent looks.

The Ping G20 driver has a slightly wider face than the G15 and at address the head appears bigger, although not quite as large as the K15. This is achieved by a shallower crown and also visually by a lighter metallic silver finish. It’s interesting that Ping have moved away from black to something slightly lighter. It does look very good but is a little more reflective in bright conditions when compared to the previous black colour.

The size and shape of the longer head look much better than the G15 and the sound and feel at impact were excellent and the ball took off on a slightly higher but more penetrating trajectory than the G15. The G20 driver also comes with Ping’s own TFC 169D shaft that seems a little more stable than in the past thanks to the higher kick point and feels quite powerful. There is also a Tour version of the shaft that will give you a lower trajectory and this will be excellent for those with higher swing speeds, so make sure you get custom fitted as the combination of shaft and loft will be important.
