Following Bubba Watson's victory at the 2012 Masters, using a Pink G20 Driver, Ping announced that 5000 limited edition Ping G20 Pink Driver would be available with proceeds going to Bubba Watson charities.
PING’s proprietary high-balance-point TFC 169D shaft creates a higher MOI and generates faster ball speeds enabling golfers to swing a clubhead with more mass at the same speed, for longer, straighter drives. The variable-thickness face generates faster ball speeds and increased MOI for maximum forgiveness. It's interesting that Ping have moved away from black to something slightly lighter.
The large 460cc clubhead is made from a lighter, lower-density titanium alloy with a high strength-to-weight ratio which allows additional weight to be re-positioned to increase the MOI on both the vertical and horizontal axes. An external weight optimises the centre of gravity position to generate high launch and low spin to give both distance and accuracy
The Ping G20 driver has a slightly wider face than the G15 and at address the head appears bigger, although not quite as large as the Ping K15 driver. This is achieved by a shallower crown and also visually by a lighter metallic silver finish. It's interesting that Ping have moved away from black to something slightly lighter. It does look very good but is a little more reflective in bright conditions when compared to the previous black colour.
The size and shape of the longer head look much better than the Ping G15 driver and the sound and feel at impact were excellent and the ball took off on a slightly higher but more penetrating trajectory than the G15. Tthe G20 driver also comes with Ping's own TFC 169D shaft that seems a little more stable than in the past thanks to the higher kick point and feels quite powerful. There is also a Tour version of the shaft that will give you a lower trajectory and this will be excellent for those with higher swing speeds, so make sure you get custom fitted as the combination of shaft and loft will be important.
I really liked the G20 driver and the enhancements are all excellent and I think it is the best Ping driver. Make sure you get custom fitted as the combination of shaft and loft will be important. Source from: http://www.ausgolfsale.com/article-167-Pings+Popular+driver%3A+G20+Pink++G20+driver.html
