New Ping G20 Driver for All Ability Levels

The clubs made by Ping become better and better because they are made based on the success of predecessors. This new Ping G20 Driver is further improved by combining the best qualities from two of their drivers from last season, the K15 and G15. Ping has a staunch following that borders on fanaticism yet they always offer clubs that may look ‘plain’ or ‘boring’ but lately their designs are slowly emerging from those shells while still maintaining their core values. This Ping G20 Driver is designed for players of all abilities, featuring large exter­nal weight­ing that helps launch the ball high with low spin for max­i­mum dis­tance and accu­racy. 

At the mention of Ping G20 Driver, many golfers will think of its high-balance-point TFC 169D shaft which helps a lot in its improvements. The shaft enables golfers to swing a club head with more mass at the same speed, cre­at­ing a higher MOI and gen­er­at­ing faster ball speeds for long, straight drives. You may choose either a TFC 169D or TFC 169D Tour shaft to produce a softer feel. When compared head-to-head against the previous G15, the G20 produces a 0.75 degree increase in launch angle, with 200 RPM less spin, and 1MPH increased ball speed off center hits. The 460cc clubhead is made from Ti 8-1-1, a lighter, lower-density alloy. Ti 8-1-1’s high strength-to-weight ratio allows for additional weight to be strategically located, increasing the MOI on both the vertical and horizontal axis.

Ping G20 Driver appears at the recent Open Cham­pi­onship. With nine being used, it has become the most popular model. John A. Solheim, PING Chairman & CEO, said, “Our engineers optimized the clubs to fit and benefit golfers of all skill levels.  In the driver, we’re using for the first time a titanium alloy called Ti 8-1-1, which allows us to improve the weighting to better optimize the entire clubhead.”

G20 Driver Brought Luckiness

If you typed the words Tom Lewis into Google at the start of last week, you would have been directed towards the services of a famous UK urban artist.

Come Thursday evening at around 6pm, it was England’s bright new blonde bombshell who was all the rage across media platforms, painting his own pictures amidst the backdrop of momentary Kent sunshine.

Lewis printed his name at the top of the first-round leaderboard alongside Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn by brushing his way around the quirky links of Sandwich with an opening 5-under 65 - to become the first amateur to lead the Open since Michael Bonallack at Carnoustie in 1968.

The 20-year-old sensation might have failed to strike gold over the next three days with rounds of 74, 76 and 74 but he certainly settled for the next best, claiming the Open Championship’s Silver Medal for the lowest amateur. Carrying a bag of 14 Ping clubs when, in just his 3rd European Tour event as a professional, the former Walker Cup star went out and stunned the field by winning the Portugal Masters.
His historic achievement, which broke Tiger Woods's record of winning in his 5th start as a professional, was made to look all that much better by the ice-cool, almost ruthless way in which he swept past the three faltering front runners in the final round with a blistering 65.

“I absolutely loved every minute of the Open and won’t ever forget what I did on the first day,” said Lewis. “It was shame to fall back over the final few days but to win the Silver Medal is a great honor.”

The links specialist, who won the British Boys at St George’s in 2009, struck the ball off the tee to an average of 308 yards with his brand new ping g20 driver - available at retail next month.

The ping g20 driver has a much heavier head than the successful G15 driver to create greater force at impact, as Lewis discovered at Sandwich. The ping g20 driver also has 5% higher moment of inertia on heel or toe hits - perfect for even the Sunday hacker.
The ping g20 driver that carried him through to victory and the two-year Tour exemption that comes with it were as follows:

Lewis's clubs

- ping g20 driver 9.5 (Aldila Voodoo XNV6 shaft) Club head speed 112mph)

- Ping G5 3 and 5 fairway woods (Aldila XVS7 & NV75X shafts)

- Ping S56 irons (3 to PW X100 Step Strong, Std length Black Colour Code, All grips, id8 ½ Cord white

- Ping Anser Wedges Red Lie 52, purple lie 58

- Ping Scottsdale Wolverine H putter (33.5" Red Lie) 

James Morrison Leads Singapore Open

The 26-year-old Morrison becomes the leader in the clubhouse on Singapore Open after a second round 68. James Morrison held the clubhouse lead at 12-under when fading light halted play for the day at the weather-hit Singapore Open.

This English professional began the day level with Italian Edoardo Molinari at the top of the leaderboard after both had carded 62s at the easier Tanjong course on Friday, but ended it one in front of the Italian after a three-under 68 at the Serapong. But Molinari still has a great chance to regain top spot after a three-hour delay for a thunderstorm restricted the Ryder Cup star to just 10 holes of his second round.

Three birdies had lifted Molinari to 11-under and he'll now be looking to overtake Morrison when he returns to the course early on Saturday morning to complete his final eight holes. Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano will also have designs on the lead after cashing in at the Tanjong late in the afternoon. The Spaniard had surged up to 10-under - and into a tie for third with Filipino Juvic Pagunsan (safely in the clubhouse following two 66s) - after four birdies and an eagle on his front nine.

Morrison started round two with a bogey before a birdie at the seventh erased the damage, but another bogey at the ninth saw the Englishman drop to one-over on the day. However, Morrison fought back on the homeward nine, picking up birdies at the 11th, 13th and 14th before the thunderstorm arrived. On the resumption of play, he was able to par the next three holes before an excellent approach to two feet on the par-five last brought another birdie and saw him move to 12-under-par at the halfway mark. Morrison has won once in Europe but success has been hard to come by this season with only two top-10s to his name. Still, young Morrison is not afraid to lead from the front despite a near miss at the French Open in July where he led for three rounds before finishing seventh.

Love Ping G20 Hybrid

I like playing golf in this season, and the new Ping G20 Hybrid makes my game more interesting. When it comes to choosing irons, better players tend to choose bladed irons, not the beginners. Every golfer wants to pick right clubs with less money. Now the release of Ping G20 Hybrid is good news for us. I got to know that Ping G20 Hybrid retains the same technology that made the G15 hybrid remarkably easy to launch the ball high and straight. A flatter lie angle and crown improve the appearance for added confidence. Exceptional ground impact was assured by adding bounce and increasing sole camber both front to back and heel to toe and the G20′s square setup and a neutral head rotation help bring the clubface straight at impact for shots that find their marks, even from challenging lies.

Ping Golf is always providing a variety of design features to lower the scores and help improve the game with maximum forgiveness technology. This Ping G20 Hybrid is designed for controllable distance from any lie on the course. The offset hosel design helps the G20 hybrids create the high launch and low spin that improve your accuracy. With the new Ping G20 Hybrid you could hit the ball long with excellent forgiveness and distance control. A large, internal weight inside the 17-4 stainless steel clubhead provides forgiveness and distance. The Ping G20 Hybrid retains the same technology of G15 hybrid, an offset hosel design and a lower center of gravity that produces shots with high launch, low spin. The heel to toe length is also shorter so that the new G20 hybrid is playable from most all lies.

Lewis Used G20 Driver on Open Championship

Tom Lewis, a professional golfer from Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England, won at the Portugal Masters on the European Tour in October 2011, shooting rounds of 70, 64, 68 and 65 to finish two shots clear of the field. This was his third professional start.

This time, he won the silver medal with his Ping G20 Driver. Come Thursday evening at around 6pm, it was England’s bright new blonde bombshell that was all the rage across media platforms, painting his own pictures amidst the backdrop of momentary Kent sunshine. Lewis printed his name at the top of the first-round leaderboard alongside Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn by brushing his way around the quirky links of Sandwich with an opening 5-under 65 - to become the first amateur to lead the Open since Michael Bonallack at Carnoustie in 1968. The 20 years old sensation might have failed to strike gold over the next three days with rounds of 74, 76 and 74 but he certainly settled for the next best, claiming the Open Championship’s Silver Medal for the lowest amateur. Lewis finished as the second highest Englishman, embarrassing the likes of Luke Donald and Lee Westwood who missed the halfway cut, by performing admirably with his new PING weapons to tally 9-over in a tie for 30th.

In Lewis’s bags, there are Ping G20 Driver (Aldilla shaft), Ping G5 fairway wood (Aldilla shafts), Ping S56 irons, Ping TOUR-S wedges and Scottsdale Wolverine-H Putter. With his brand new Ping G20 Driver Lewis struck the ball off the tee to an average of 308 yards. With a much heavier head than the successful G15 driver, Ping G20 Driver creates greater force at impact, which was discovered by Lewis at Sandwich. The driver also has 5% higher moment of inertia (MOI) on heel or toe hits. This is perfect for even the Sunday hacker. Lewis also found more greens than the field’s average at 57% with his PING S-56 irons, featuring a steel body with variable tungsten toe weighting positions for higher-launching long irons and lower-trajectory short irons – perfect for the links.
