Take G20 to the Next Level

  I read a very interesting article recently in the Wall Street Journal about your golf swing and your overall health. It quoted several sources that the quality of your golf swings and your yardage off the tee may provide some telling insights into your overall health picture. What will they think of next?

  No seriously there were some big names in these statistics. Golf Digest, the American Dietetic Association, and Golf Health. Here are some interesting statistics from Golf Digest: Eighty percent of golfers suffer from pain injury or illness, twenty seven percent have back pain, sixty six percent are overweight, and thirty percent have played with a hangover.
Here are some of the potential conclusions that your swing might lead to:

–If your drives off of the tee are short, it may indicate a flexibility problem. Lack of flexibility often indicates a sedentary lifestyle which can lead to health problems.

–If you have a persistent fade or draw, it could be indicative of posture problems. Posture issues can indicate the possibility of arthritis or other joint problems as you get older.
–If your golf swing is really erratic and you can’t get consistency, this could possibly indicate that you lack strength in your “core” muscles.

–If your golf game falls apart after a bad shot, this might indicate that you internalize stress a lot. Doing this in all walks of your daily life can possibly lead to heart disease and other problems down the road.

  So after I read this, I am thinking, “What are they really trying to say?”. Are they saying that most golfers are out of shape and at risk for their health? Are they saying that if you aren’t a single digit handicap you better get to the doctor? My guess is no on all counts.

  My ball trajectory for this 9.5 degree driver was between 11-12 degrees for most shots – and spin in the range of 3300 RPM. Workability was exceptional; again likely due to how the club feels at address, high draws and fades happened with little effort. In terms of overall feel, again the Ping G20 Driver does not disappoint one bit. Off-center hits still felt solid, and center strikes produced great feel, and a solid sound (not tinny, not dull – just right). Accuracy was a final item to note – dispersion was quite tight with this Ping g20 driver, even off-center hits remained closer to our target line. When stepped on (I pushed this g20 driver to 110 MPH) the shaft kept up, spin rates and trajectory increased slightly, but we managed to get some extra yards without sacrificing accuracy or feel.
