Ping has taken 1st place in 2012 drivers, fairways, and irons this year. I have spent alot Of time test hitting both the G20 and i20 driver for two months straight. I finally made a choice and purchased the Ping G20 driver.
When I used this driver for the first time I was in total awe. Not only is this driver super well made and sleek looking, but its very easy to hit a long drive with a boring, yet penetrating trajectory with a consistent ball flight. It took me some practice to learn the driver itself and the way it performs on command of shot angle, shot shaping, and hitting draws and fades.
Holding the G20 in your hand makes you just stare at the club in wonderment. You notice a powerful yet elegant shape made of titanium that just wants you to unleash it on some poor unsuspecting golf ball. Sure the profile is large and slightly elongated (460cc) but it’s not huge where you feel like you’re swinging a small SUV on a stick. When you first waggle the club you feel that the balance and weighting is perfect which is due to the shaft being weighted slightly above its center while maintaining the feel and weight of the club head.
Although the external weight has been moved from the heel to the back of the club you barely notice it at address. I’ll touch on the shaft a little later but in terms of looks it’s very similar to what was offered last year in the cheap G15 driver and the cheap K15 driver and meshes well with the overall look of the G20. That difference is the addition of some weight above the center point of the shaft. You may not notice it unless you’re looking for it but I noticed this difference and it didn’t feel overly heavy.
In fact it almost felt like a fulcrum for the club when you slowly swing it so I can see how this weighting is designed to help swing the club. The Tour version of the shaft that is also available has a slightly stiffer tip which will launch the ball a little lower with even less spin and will weigh about 6-9g more depending on what flex option you go with. I’m very picky, if not weird, when it comes to the feeling I like and want from my grips and the grip that’s found on the G20 is one of the few that I would not change and would put into play right away.
Overall, the PING G20 driver is definitely an improvement over the cheap golf clubs G15 but is just an evolution rather than a revolution. Either way, a large variety of skill levels are going to improve their distance and accuracy with this driver.
