Detailed data for each and every shot for which we collected data is viewable just below the performance section of this review. As usual, testing was done at Tark’s Indoor Golf, a state of the art indoor golf facility located in Saratoga Springs, NY.
#Ice driver review series#
Classic Shape A powerful-looking 460cc head design inspires confidence in golfers of all abilities.įor our test of the PING i20 driver we collected detailed performance data from 4 testers who were asked to hit a series of shots on our 3Track Equipped simulators from aboutGolf.
Long, Forgiving Dense tungsten weights add to MOI and position the CG for low-spin, penetrating trajectories, and long accurate drives.Aerodynamic for Distance The crown is engineered to reduce drag for maximizing clubhead speed and ball velocity, resulting in greater distance.In the interest of moving this along quickly, here’s what PING wants you to know about the i20 Driver: With that out of the way, can we actually talk about the Ping i20 driver? Yeah…let’s do that. My point is while PING might not have the biggest tour roster, and they don’t crank our commercials like some of the other guys, one could make a serious argument that when it comes to the things that matter most (like actually winning a tournament) PING is the most dominant name in golf. So if you’re keeping track at home…on my scoreboard that’s 2 big tournaments, 2 PING wins, and a whole lot of action near the top. While most everyone on the planet knows that Bubba Watson is a PING staff (his pink driver has gotten a little bit of press lately), many may not have realized that the guy Bubba beat in extra holes, Louis Oosthuizen is also a PING staffer. The 2nd significant tournament of the season is, of course, the Masters. The dominance was so impressive it led me to start a silly little rumor that the USGA is considering banning PING clubs. So as I was saying…at the Accenture Match Play Championship, PING staffers finished 1,3, and 4. It also helps me make my point so we’re going to roll with it. While not everyone will agree with me about its significance, as the only match play event on the PGA Tour, I think it matters. The first was the Accenture Match Play Championship. In my mind there have been two tournaments that matter this season. There are golf tournaments that really matter, and handful of others that manage to fill the field with guys you actually want to watch play, and there are others that are nice to fall asleep to on a lazy Sunday afternoon. They are a club for women and serious amateurs. Lots of the LPGA players had PING in their bags, and several of my more serious golfer friends had PING irons…and so my perception of PING was born. When I first started playing this game, none of the golfers I knew by name were PING staffers. Once you have them, no matter how far away they are from reality, they can be difficult to shake.
(Written By: T) Perceptions are strange things. We don’t believe golfers should buy off-the-rack, and we don’t think clubs should be reviewed that way either. As we continue to build and evolve the ULTIMATE REVIEW System we expect custom fitting will play a role in the majority of the club tests we conduct. Though 2 of our test samples are basically off-the-rack models (sometimes off-the-rack does actually work), PING had the opportunity to provide any combination of shaft and i20 head. We see the introduction of custom fitting is the logical progression of our review system.įor this review we worked with PING to ensure the best fit for our pool of testers. We have always advocated for custom fitting (I may have suggested that off-the-rack is for chumps), and as the golf companies we work with have come to accept and support our review system, we now have the opportunity to better fit our testers for the equipment we test. This review of the PING i20 driver represents the latest small step in the evolution of MyGolfSpy’s ULTIMATE REVIEW! System. I certainly wouldn’t fault anyone for dropping the i20 in your bag today.” But if you’re willing to sacrifice just a little bit of accuracy, the distance gains offered by the i20 might be worth it. We do believe that the majority of golfers would probably be better served by PING’s G20 driver – especially if you’re wise enough to place a premium on fairways. “The short version of the story is that the PING i20 driver is now the #1 Driver in our review database, and that’s pretty damn impressive.
