Equipment Focus Great response to i20 range In the i20 series, PING has combined workability, distance and forgiveness with the goal to make any golfer a more versatile and complete player. PING’s new i20 driver, fairway woods, hybrids and irons bring an exciting new dimension to game improvement for golfers of all standards. This stylish new line relies on innovation and custom engineering to ensure that every design attribute helps to optimise performance, right down to the colour of the clubs’ finish. “In the i20 series, we’ve combined workability, distance and forgiveness with the goal to make any golfer a more versatile and complete player,” saysJohn A. Solheim, PING Chairman & CEO. “We’ve engineered the i20s with a solid feel and generous forgiveness but also a degree of workability for the player who wants full command of the clubface for controlling trajectory and shot shape. Anyone who is passionate about their game is going to be very confident and capable with this game-improvement technology.” The matt-black finish of the driver, woods, and hybrids is eye-catching and there’s a real performance benefit. John A. Solheim explains: “The non-glare finish absorbs light, allowing the player to focus without distraction. Our tour pros are very enthusiastic about the finish – but even more so about the i20s’ performance. Players are able to execute any shot they want with confidence.” The 460cc driver head is highly aerodynamic to reduce drag, which generates clubhead speed and ball velocity for maximising distance. “The i20 driver is incredibly long but also highly accurate,” Solheim says. “We gave the fairway woods and hybrids the same matt finish, and their designs offer the highlaunching forgiveness that makes them reliable from all turf conditions and from the tee.” Play Your Best. In the multi-metal irons, a progressive set design features long irons that are slightly larger, high launching and more forgiving. The smaller short irons feature less offset and provide exceptional control. “Distance control, a key to consistent iron play, was a priority in the irons’ design,” Solheim says. “The stabilising bars and the thicker face offer great feel and ensure that golfers can hit to precise yardages. Distance control is an absolute must for better players, but precision is going to help anyone lower their scores.” To emphasise the importance of a proper fit with any i20 product, PING offers two stock shaft options. In the driver, fairways, and hybrids, golfers can choose PING’s TFC 707 series, or the Project X Black from True Temper. “Both shafts deliver a solid, stable feel and consistent performance,” Solheim explains. “Our TFC series is slightly heavier, stiffer and generates lower launch and less spin than Project X Black.” In the irons, PING’s CFS (Control, Feel and Stability) shaft and the TFC 169i are available.
