PING i20 Driver Review

By the middle of March 75% of all PING’s European Tour players had an i20 driver in the bag. And it’s easy to see why. It’s the best-looking driver the Phoenix-based giant has produced. Pro James was a big fan of the sound and the feel off ered, while Dave C noted a powerful, boring trajectory. Jon’s dispersion was very tight with the i20 too – at just over eight yards on average he found more forgiveness than you might have imagined. ﬔ e sleek look of the club is superbly well complimented by the tungsten sole weights that help to increase the MOI across the face. Dave R also noted how easy it was to hit, but we would draw your attention to the loft options. The most lofted version PING offer is 10.5 – this may well be fi ne for lots of you, but for others the added assistance of PING’s G20 may well be more suitable.

We think this is a step-up on the company’s previous i15. The update has more strings to its bow, and the added forgiveness and stealth look have helped to propel it up into the higher echelons of this year’s Test.

Looks: 4.6 Feel: 4.3 Forgiveness: 4.1 Distance: 4.0 Dispersion: 4.0

This is arguably the best-looking club Ping has ever produced. This is what many would consider a better players’ driver, because of the no-fuss crown and minimalist appearance, but there is an element of forgiveness alongside the workability. Ping engineers have been able to use dense tungsten weights to elevate MOI across the entire clubface to help when you don’t get the ball out of the middle.

Lofts: 8.5°, 9.5° & 10.5°
