The launch was high without spinning too much, which is ideal for long shots into greens. The shallow face works well, but those who use a fairway from the tee might like something slightly deeper. PGA Pro verdict If the driver was anything to go by, this had to be a winner. It didn\u2019t disappoint! I really like its feel and flight. The shallow face made launching the ball easy, regardless of the lie, and it gave a really nice long high trajectory. Off the tee, it was even easier, and sometimes was up with my driver in distance. The club sat very square at address, which is an important factor for me. Golf Monthly Top 25 Coach John Jacobs.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to the G15 fairway wood the Ping G20 has a larger head and face to help improve forgiveness and add confidence. An external weight port low and back in the head should help to launch the ball high without adding too much spin. The face is also shallower to make it easier to hit from a variety of lies.<\/p>\n<p>The Ping G20 fairway wood will suit anyone who wants a forgiving wood to use from the fairway.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest hawk-processed\" data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" data-widget-id=\"4286c07f-5294-4131-a9ec-f7856174535b\" data-result=\"missing\">\n<div class=\"hawk-master-widget-hawk-base-wrapper\">The Ping G20 fairway wood is the most improved club in the Ping G20 range compared to the G15. The look at address and the impact sound are both excellent. The introduction of a Tour shaft will suit those with faster swing speeds who want to keep spin down. The new weight port in the back of the head produces a slightly higher launch compared to previous models without adding too much spin.<\/div>\n<div>\n<header class=\"single-header entry-header\">\n<h1 class=\"single-title entry-title\">PING G20 Fairway Wood Review<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"single-body entry\">\n<div class=\"single-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content clearfix\">\n<p>PING\u2019s G20 line of golf clubs has garnered quite a bit of attention in the short time since its release. PING has always been a brand that attracts a loyal fan-base like few companies can, but much of this interest has been from people that are not long-time users of their products. So far, THP has reviewed the G20 driver and irons, with both receiving very positive feedback. Today I\u2019m going to talk about the G20 line of fairway woods.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehackersparadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/smugmug\/photos\/i-2MZfZsh\/0\/X3\/i-2MZfZsh-X3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15027\" title=\"crown\" src=\"http:\/\/thehackersparadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/crown.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 395px) 100vw, 395px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehackersparadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/crown.jpg 395w, https:\/\/www.thehackersparadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/crown-300x227.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"395\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>G20\u2122 \u2013 Getting the ball airborne and adding yards is easy with the low-deep CG in the 17-4 stainless steel G20s, creating optimal spin and high launch. Perimeter weighting and a large face increase the MOI for improved accuracy. The larger profile G20s generate fast ball speeds for maintaining distance, even on mis-hits, for ensuring long, straight results.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I tested the 16.5\u00b0 4 wood for this review, which is complimented by three other loft options \u2013 15\u00b0(3W), 18\u00b0(5W), and 21\u00b0(7W). The head on the G20 is fairly large in appearance at 164cc, but much of that is since it is a fairly flat and shallow fairway wood. The crown is a metal flaked gray finish with a large alignment aid and the bottom is an extremely shiny chrome finish with black and red accents. In all, the G20 fairway wood is one of the more attractive offerings I\u2019ve seen from PING. If I could change one thing it would be the size of the alignment aid, but it\u2019s a pretty minor issue for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ballflight<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>External weighting locates the CG low and back to produce high launch and optimal spin for long, straight results. You can optimize your ball flight by choosing either the higher-launching TFC 169F shaft or the TFC 169F Tour version for a lower trajectory.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I did find the G20 to be a reliably straight club for my swing, though it didn\u2019t deliver quite as high of a ball flight as I get from my current fairway wood. One key thing PING mentions and that I\u2019d like to reiterate is that the right shaft option can really be the big difference maker here. Make time to take advantage of a fitting and you should be able the get the ball flying right where you want it.<br \/>\nI found that I had a hard time missing to the right with the G20. I almost had to force the issue, though missing right isn\u2019t really common for me these days. My directional miss was mostly to the left, but for the most part this was a club that wanted to stay straight for me.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehackersparadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/smugmug\/photos\/i-PrpDMcg\/0\/X3\/i-PrpDMcg-X3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15028\" title=\"with ball\" src=\"http:\/\/thehackersparadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/with-ball.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehackersparadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/with-ball.jpg 397w, https:\/\/www.thehackersparadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/with-ball-300x224.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"397\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stock TFC Shaft Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of shafts, the G20 fairway wood comes standard with the TFC 169F, which is slightly changed from the G15 series.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Designed for the G20 line, TFC 169F features higher launch, low spin, and a livelier, responsive feel with a softer tip for increasing dynamic launch.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While I didn\u2019t absolutely love this shaft for my swing, I found it to be a pretty nice compliment to the G20 fairway wood. As I mentioned before, take the time to get a shaft fitting when you\u2019re shopping for a new club. You\u2019ll be happy you did. As for the TFC 169F, I found it to be pretty true to flex and it\u2019s decorated nicely. I was really impressed with the red graphic portion up towards the grip. It was surprisingly attractive to my eye.<\/p>\n<p>The TFC 169F shaft is offered in 5 different weight and flex options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forgiveness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The large, 17-4 stainless steel head and variable thickness face increase the MOI to maintain high ball speeds that are consistent across the hitting surface. This enables you to hit the ball high and straight, even on mis-hits.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I found this to be a pretty true statement from my experience with the G20. Not necessarily on those swings that produce side-spin as much as those in which I just missed the sweet spot. I had more than a few shots on the course where I was a bit worried about the results, only to find myself in the fairway without much distance loss. I found that missing high on the face caused the least desirable results for me.<\/p>\n<p>I felt the feel of the G20 was pretty responsive in that I was well aware when I hit a clean shot. The sound of well struck shots was a bit muted with a nice, high-pitched \u2018ping\u2019. I really enjoyed the sound and found myself wanting to hear it over and over.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15029\" title=\"sole\" src=\"http:\/\/thehackersparadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/sole.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 395px) 100vw, 395px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehackersparadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/sole.jpg 395w, https:\/\/www.thehackersparadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/sole-300x225.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"395\" height=\"297\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nThe G20 fairway wood is yet another very solid offering from the folks at PING. The forgiveness and straight ball flight are probably my two favorite things about the club. Fairway woods are a club that I can be hot or cold with and it\u2019s nice to have a little help to fall back on if I need it. The G20 is definitely a fairway wood I\u2019d put on the \u2018must-try\u2019 list if you are in the market.
