| Post subject: | Ping i20 Driver Offers for Best Golfers |
Hidden underneath a black, matte finish that looks like it was taken off a stealth fighter, the PING i20 Driver , the company's newest offering for better-players, is made using three different materials. The body is cast from a titanium alloy that has been infused with aluminum to make it lighter. Ping engineers shifted the weight saved by blending the aluminum and titanium together and moved it into two tungsten pads located in the back sections of the sole. Marty Jertson, Ping Golf's Senior Design Engineer, says moving the weight to those spots helps to improve the clubs moment of inertia and make it more resistant to twisting on off-center hits. Those weight pads also shift more of the head's overall weight away from the face, which helps to create a higher initial launch angle. Ping also says that the club produces less spin than its predecessor, the i15. While thePING i20 Driver offers a 460-cc head, Jertson says that the club is more aerodynamic than the i15, which should mean more power for golfers off the tee. |
