About G20 Driver

  The Ping G20 Driver didn’t blow me away by any means – the driver and shaft graphics don’t shock and amaze in ways like the Adams 9088 UL could, but still the club looks solid. It sets up exceptionally well, slightly closed (likely to help those slicers), but really frames the ball well at address. Despite the club head having an unusual sole shape, the top crown is traditional – and pleases my eye just fine. The face bulge and roll is not all that noticeable on this Ping G20 Driver – which adds credence to how good this clubs looks at address in my books. The head is a whopping maxed out 460 CC’s and the club head shows its heftiness – something that doesn’t suit my eye.

  Distance and accuracy are optimized by an external weight that optimizes the center of gravity position to generate high launch and low spin. The Ping G20 Driver's large, variable-thickness face generates faster ball speeds and increases MOI for maximum forgiveness.

From the Company

·         High launch/low spin characteristics maximize distance and accuracy

·         Club head is made from a Ti 8-1-1 lighter low density alloy for high strength to weight ratio

·         Additional weight is strategically placed around the horizontal and vertical axis to increase MOI

·         Variable wall thickness on face and crown

·         High balance point shaft allows you to swing more weight/mass at the same speed

Ping G20 Driver Pros: Great looking club head that sits very square at address, muted dark grey color with a confidence inspiring head size that offers a fairly large "foot print", with a high launch and low spin all at reasonable price for a new to the market club. 


Ping G20 Driver Cons: Ping still does not offer adjust-ability in their drivers and woods, if you want a highly workable club this may not be the choice for you. I also question whether or not the average golfer needs a 45.75" driver. 
Bottom Line: This Ping G20 Driver is a really solid modern driver that will appeal to a wide variety of players, if you want forgiveness, high launch and plenty of distance just find the right shaft and loft and I think you will have a hard time finding a better club.

Ping has a large variety of shaft options to choose from – but the TFC 169 model is already a pretty good fit. Take the time to test out some options at your next Ping demo day to give this stick a shot. The price point of only $350 is a nice touch by Ping – and makes this driver one to test for high to low handicappers alike.
