G20 Driver Review

The ping g20 driver is for all ability levels. The external weighting of the g20 driver helps launch the ball high with low spin for maximum distance and accuracy. Distance of this ping g20 driver is generated with a new version of ping's proprietary high-balance-point shaft technology, which allows the golfer to swing a heavier clubhead at the same speed with a high moment of inertia. The clubface on the 460cc head of this ping g20 driver is larger, creating more forgiveness across the hitting area and the g20's head rotation is neutral, allowing the golfer to deliver the clubface straight at impact.

Some customers have their own feeling after using the ping g20 driver. From the feeling of the customers we can understand ping g20 driver to some extent. One said: tried the ping g20 driver again.  It's definitely longer than my driver.  I hit the stock 9.5 degree with the S shaft again just to see if it was a fluke.  I'm really surprised how much farther it hits the ball than pretty much any other driver at Golfsmith that I've tried.  I hit the Titleist 910D2 and my low/high was 280-295.  The ping g20 driver was 305-330 with around 5 swings.  I'm really shocked by it.  Same launch monitor, same position, same balls, and just different club.  Part of this ping g20 driver is the weight.  The ping g20 driver is a bit lighter than the Titleist.  That has always made a significant difference in my experience.  Dispersion seemed not quite as tight, so there was a price to pay for the extra distance.  I am curious to try it in an X shaft to see if it will tighten up the lines a bit.

I had the opportunity to hit the g20 driver Wednesday, I also brought in my own g20 driver to compare. I hit about a dozen with each. The data on the screen showed the ping g20 driver to be about 4 yards longer with a little tighter dispersion pattern. Not sure if the $299 price is worth 4 more yards. The ping g20 driver felt the same as my g15, what’s your feeling?
