Ping G20 Driver Review

   As many golfers know, Ping G15 driver, the last driver of Ping, was launched two years ago, so it is time to release a new-generation product. Recently, the Ping G20 Driver passes the tests of USGA (left hand, right hand, 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, and 12 degree). The USGA publishes an audit list each Monday from which we can have a look at the G20’s beautiful appearance. But today and here, let’s look at its performance first.

    Ping G20 Driver continues the idea of entire design. That is to say, they tried to let the entire clubs match to your swing approaches instead of using the way that single club can only meet the demand of single swing approach. This is not a new concept, but to Ping with advanced technologies and rich design experience, they can utilize this concept well into every detail of the entire club. They provide more flexible trajectories and easy suitability to different clubs, so golfers don’t have to adjust swing approach according to different clubs. Ping G20 Driver further improved the high-balance spot shaft used by G15, through which it can distribute more weights to clubhead while keeping the same entire club weight to offer more hitting strength. The head of previous G15 is 5 grams heavier than that of G10, and the 203-gram G20 head is 2 grams heavier than G15’s. Test indicates that at the same swing speed, distance and forgiveness of heavy clubhead can be enhanced. To prove this result, Ping tested drivers with different weights (270, 286, and 304g) of the same specs. The result shows that these clubs have no obvious difference on head speed and ball speed, but the heavier the club is, the better distance and forgiveness are. Besides, the field test shows that appropriate change in club’s weight will not affect golfers’ swing approach. The standard length of Ping G20 Driver is 45.75 inches (D3) which will not affect swing approach according to test.

    Ping G20 Driver lowers trajectory with its head weights, and adopts Ti811 material instead of previous Ti64. The two materials possess near intensity and elongation, but Ti811 has lighter weight and lower density, allowing Ping to maximize head volume and distribute head weight of each part for optimal center of gravity. Ping G20 Driver has a flatter head and wider face area than G15. In order to limit the volume in 460cc, Ping decreases the area of toe. The thickness of the entire face is inconsistent. The tests of both swing robot and golfers show that Ping G20 Driver provides more distance than G15, and the accuracy is also higher.
