A larger face is designed for the
Ping G20 Driver to increase ball speed and provide consistency across the entire hitting surface. The new PING-designed TFC 149D high balance point shaft allows for a five gram increase in head mass (without increasing swingweight or overall weight) which results in higher ball speeds and an increased moment of inertia.
The
G20 Driver has a heavier head than
G15 Driver (7 grams more than standard) for greater force at impact. Additional backweighting and a more elongated face shore up misses. (Ping "shaved" the head in the low toe area to meet the 460cc size limit.) The reconfigured clubhead — 5 percent higher moment of inertia on heel or toe hits — combines with a light, 45.75-inch "high- balance point" shaft to boost clubhead speed and, thus, distance. Specifically, the TFC 149D shaft has more flexible tip and butt sections for softer feel. In total, G20 launches shots 0.75 degrees higher than
Ping G15 Driver, with 200 rpm less spin and 1 mph faster ball speed on center hits, which adds up to five yards more carry and roll.
