Ping’s simple changes to create the G20 made this club “Bubba” long right off the rack. He was bombing it far beyond his ability. He was really struggling with all of his clubs except the driver. It was long for other people too. I was paired up with a high handicapper for one round and he had just bought the Ping G20 driver, similar specs to mine. I found it to be a great combination with my G20 3-wood (review here) that I was able to reach a couple of par 5s I’ve never reached before in 2. It was one of the longest drivers I’ve hit off the rack. It was as consistent and long drive as any driver. For the rest of the rounds, it just simply was a copy of that first drive over and over. It felt so hot off the face and rose gently to a mid/high launch and just carried and carried until it descended bounding down the fairway. I hit an absolute bomb right down the middle of the fairway as straight as can be. On the course is where you get “Bubba” with it. It is painted a charcoal color on the crown, it has the Ping half-moon alignment aid and the bottom has a mostly polished sole with some red and black paint. It has a relatively deep face and sits square. The head itself is a full 460cc with plenty of girth front to back and side to side. It is a mid-launch shaft with mid/low spin. This driver is a cannon right off the shelf. But after the many rounds I’ve played with the Ping G20, I can’t imagine getting better numbers or results with any other shaft. So I was skeptical of playing a G20 off the rack driver, especially as I consider all the fitting options Ping offers. I’ve never been a fan of stock shafts, simply because the “made for the masses” shafts are typically cheap, inconsistent and rarely fit my swing. The D3 swingweight at 45.75” topped with Pings ID8 grip is the common set up. The tour is lower launch and less torque. So if you are going to walk into most golf stores you are going to see the Ping G20 with a variety of lofts with basically the stock shaft as the only option, the Ping TFC 169D either standard or tour. But honestly sometimes you just want to walk into a golf store and walk out with a new club. If golfers want to get better and have the best equipment it needs to be fit for them. I have praised it in all my Ping reviews and will continue to do so. As always Ping offers the best customization process of any golf company. ![]()
