In recent days, I have heard that the Ping G20 Hybrid has been launched and the G20 series will include a new driver, fairway wood, hybrid and irons. It replaces the successful G15 range and incorporates new weighting technology as well as a range of new stock shafts. Amusingly, Ping went the opposite direction of the driver/woods and actually made the face of the Ping G20 Hybrid more compact while adding bounce and camber to improve turf interaction. The Ping G20 Hybrid is now available in 17, 20, 23, 27 and 31 degree lofts at Discount Golf Store.

The new Ping G20 Hybrid is designed to cope with a wide range of ground conditions thanks to added bounce and sole camber. In other words, the Ping G20 Hybrid utility club has a hard act to follow. We really liked the Ping G15 Hybrid as it was the best driving iron style hybrid in the market so we were intrigued to how the G20 version had been improved. When compared to the G15 the Ping G20 Hybrid is shorter from heel to toe to make the design more visually appealing at address. An offset hosel design helps to create a dynamic launch and low spin, which should help when facing long carries. A large, internal toe weight inside the stainless steel head helps to provide added forgiveness. Now that the G15 was a little visually challenged and despite its great performance it looked a bit toe heavy. Thankfully the G20 looks much better and the shallow face and lower crown give you a much more balanced impression at address.
