One of the best golf hybrids we've ever tested is the Ping G430 Hybrid, a club that not only scored an impressive 4.5 out of 5-star review, but also grabbed a much-coveted spot in the Golf Monthly Editors' Choice listings.

Right now, at Dick's Sporting Goods, you can pick up the G430 model with a 13% discount, reduced to $259 from $299, which is one of the cheapest prices we've ever seen on this brilliantly versatile club.

In his review, Sam De'Ath praised the G430 for upholding Ping’s reputation as a leader in forgiving, versatile hybrids. He noted that the G430 model packed in signature Ping quality, delivering sleek, attractive aesthetics paired with performance that genuinely elevates your game.

For UK golfers, Clubhouse Golf has the G430 reduced to just £209, from £295, a huge 29% saving. However, there are limited choices on loft, shaft and shaft flex.

A hybrid club can offer distinct performance advantages over long irons or fairway woods. They saw plenty of action in the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, helping players cut through the notorious Birkdale rough. They also provide versatility off the tee, making Birkdale's tight fairways easier to hit.

The G430 Hybrid is fully customizable to suit an individual golfer's needs with an 8-position Adjustable Hosel that allows the club to be tuned for loft and lie to customize ball flight.

There are two shaft options to choose from, either the Ping Tour 2.0 85 or the Alta CB70 Black. Flex options come in Stiff, Regular and Senior, with loft choices from 19, 22 and 26 degrees.

We also put the G430 and its G440 sibling to a head-to-head test, and both delivered exceptional performance with very little to separate them. The Ping G440 is priced at $319, making this G430 deal even more appealing with that $60 saving.

If a Ping G430 Hybrid isn't on your golf equipment list, then some of the best golf drivers on the market from the Ping G430 Driver range are also on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods, including the Ping G430 Max 10K Driver reduced from $599 to $449.

Released in January 2024, the Ping G430 Max 10K driver is without doubt one of the best golf drivers ever made, going down a storm on the professional circuits and ever-popular with golfers of all levels.

Golf Monthly's golf driver expert Joe Ferguson not only gave the G430 Max 10K a faultless 5 out of 5 star review, but went as far as saying the G430 Max 10K genuinely made golf easier and more enjoyable. The main story is how Ping have managed to combine a long, low spinning performance head with incredible forgiveness, with Joe stating this was one most stable and forgiving driver heads he has ever used.

As one of the best Ping clubs of all time, discounts on the G430 Max 10K are rare and don't last long, making this Ping deal worth grabbing fast. Right now, at PGA TOUR Superstore, you can pick up the G430 Max 10K driver with a fantastic 25% discount, reduced to $449.98 from $599.99, which is the cheapest price we've ever seen on the G430 Max 10K Driver.

Ping says the G430 Max 10K is the straightest and highest MOI (Moment of Inertia) driver they've ever made. For any number crunchers, the G430 Max 10K surpasses the 10,000g-cm2 combined moment of inertia threshold first seen in its Ping G400 Max.

Ping has achieved this with three main visible technologies, which are a fixed back weight, a larger head profile, and a Carbonfly Wrap on the crown. These combine to make the G430 Max 10K one of the most forgiving drivers on the market, and a driver that will offer golfers of all levels a very appealing performance package.

The fixed back weight helps deliver the record-setting MOI as it drives mass down and back to increase forgiveness and optimize the CG (Center of Gravity) position, lowering spin and ensuring ball speed preservation across the clubface for added distance.

The biggest head profile on any Ping driver to date also adds to the record-setting MOI, but it inspires confidence at address. Finally, the Carbonfly Wrap crown, which weighs just 13g, not only saves 5g of weight to help lower the CG and increase the MOI.

The G430 Max 10K is fully customizable to suit an individual golfer's needs, featuring what Ping calls a Lightweight Trajectory Tuning 2.0 hosel, which allows adjustability of +/- 1.5 degrees to dial in ideal ball flight.

The G430 Max 10K in this PGA TOUR Superstore deal is available in Shaft flex options, Stiff and Regular, with loft choices from 9.5 or 10 degrees.

There are also plenty of other Ping offers at PGA TOUR Superstore, including the outstanding Ping G430 Hybrid reduced from $299.99 to $239.98, and the Ping G430 LST Driver with a massive 31% off, down to just $399.98.

Amazon Prime Day arrives next week, running for four days, from 8 to 11 July. It's not just Amazon looking to tempt you with big golf discounts, the majority of online golfing retailers are also dropping their own deals to coincide with Prime Day. (That being said also take a look at the golf deals section on Amazon as you can see a wide variety of balls and tech on offer at the moment).

However, one early non-Amazon discount that caught my eye was on the Ping G430 Hybrid a club that not only scored an impressive 4.5 out of 5 star review, but as one of the best hybrid clubs we have tested in recent years it grabbed a much-coveted spot in the Golf Monthly Editors Choice listings.

Right now, at Dick's Sporting Goods you can pick up the G430 model with a brilliant 20% discount, reduced to $239 from $299 which is the cheapest price I've ever seen on the Ping G430 Hybrid.

In his review, Sam De'Ath noted that the G430 continued Ping's production of some of the most versatile and forgiving hybrids on the market. He also highlighted that the G430 hybrid comes with everything Ping does well – clean, stylish aesthetics, and performance that makes playing your best golf a little bit easier.

The G430 Hybrid is fully customizable to suit an individual golfer's needs with an 8-position Adjustable Hosel that allows the club to be tuned for loft and lie to customize ball flight.

Shaft flex options come in Stiff, Regular and Senior with loft choices from 17, 19, 22 and 26 degrees. There are also as many as four shaft options in terms of brand as well although it appears select specifications are selling out quickly.

If a Ping G430 Hybrid isn't on your Prime Day shopping list then some of the best golf drivers on the market from Ping G430 Driver range are also on sale at Carl's Golfland – including the Ping G430 LST Driver reduced from $577 to $397.

Ping has become the second major manufacturer to sign a deal with a LIV Golf team after announcing a sponsorship agreement with Torque GC.

Following on from Callaway's link-up with Jon Rahm's Legion XIII, Ping has signed up to sponsor Joaquin Niemann's Latin American outfit Torque.

Captain Niemann is joined by fellow Chilean Mito Pereira, Colombian Sebastian Munoz and Carlos Ortiz of Mexico in his Torque team - which has won four team events in LIV Golf.

And ahead of what is a home LIV Golf event in Mexico, Ping has announced a sponsorship deal with Torque, all four of whom were already playing with Ping equipment.

“We’ve had strong relationships with each of them throughout their careers," said Ping CEO & President John Solheim. "They are great friends and tremendous competitors.

"We look forward to following their successes both as a team and individuals as they help increase Ping’s awareness to golfers around the world.”

Niemann is currently top of the LIV Golf individual standings after winning two events already in 2025, making it four total victories since joining the Saudi-backed tour.

“My first set of Ping clubs was one of their junior sets and I’ve had Ping clubs in my bag ever since,” said Niemann. "Mito, Carlos, Sebastian and I are honored, and grateful Ping has chosen to support Torque GC in such a meaningful way.”

The four Torque players will continue playing with Ping clubs and will also wear branded headwear and use Ping staff bags starting in Mexico.

The Ping G430 Hybrid is one of the best hybrid clubs we have ever tested – it's superbly versatile, delivers confidence and offers genuine game-improving performance for every level of golfer. Why do we bring this up? Well this club has recently been replaced by the Ping G440 Hybrid which means the G430 is on sale. Right now, at Dick's Sporting Goods, you can pick up the G430 model with a brilliant 20% discount, reduced to $239 from $299 which is the lowest price we have seen on the top-notch club.

Our reviewer, Sam De'Ath, noted that the Ping G430 hybrid continued the brand's production of some of the most versatile and forgiving hybrids on the market. He also highlighted that the G430 hybrid comes with everything Ping does well – clean, stylish aesthetics, and performance that makes it easier to play your best golf more often. This performance also meant the G430 grabbed a much-coveted spot in the Golf Monthly Editors Choice listings back in 2023. If you want to read Sam's full review, I have included a link below.

The G430 Hybrid is fully customizable to suit an individual golfer's needs with an 8-position Adjustable Hosel that allows the club to be tuned for loft and lie to customize ball flight.

If a Ping Hybrid isn't on your 2025 wishlist then it's worth noting that other clubs in the current Ping range are also on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods – including the Ping G430 Max Driver reduced from $549 to $399, and also the Ping G430 Irons which have a $190 discount.

These deals are US-based but below our handy price checker will give you the best up-to-date pricing on the Ping Hybrid range in your territory. It is worth noting below that some of the prices are reflecting ex-demo clubs hence why we have only discussed the brand new club deal above.

The SensorDry 2.5 Graphene Jacket is a big innovation from Ping as it is the first time the brand has used Graphene in its apparel range.

Graphene is comprised of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice and is said to be the lightest, strongest, and toughest material ever discovered. It was isolated in 2004 by two researchers at The University of Manchester, whose work won them the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Ping has incorporated a Graphene print to the inside of the fabric for the SensorDry 2.5 jacket, which helps conduct and retain heat. We tested it over a number of rounds to see what it was like to play golf in, and we absolutely loved it.

The first thing you'll notice when touching the SensorDry 2.5 Graphene Jacket is just how lightweight it is. It's unlike any other waterproof jacket I've ever had my hands on to immediately give you a feeling that this is a special garment.

It certainly is a special jacket. It's supremely comfortable, has a good amount of stretch and comes with adjustable wrist cuffs to ensure a nice snug fit. Fit-wise, it is very comfortable but potentially comes up a little big and it's stretchy so golfers in-between sizes may want to go down a size. Because of how light and stretchy it is, it's a joy to play golf in and very easy to move and hit golf shots whilst wearing.

The material is fully waterproof and repels water, drying remarkably quickly. We held it under a tap and the jacket was bone dry almost immediately. For such a thin layer of material this is seriously impressive, and it's also surprisingly warm so you really won't need too many layers underneath it.

You get a fully waterproof zip and two zipped hand pockets for storage and to keep your valuables or scorecard nice and dry. We felt the zips were slightly stiff and difficult to do up and down, so would say that this is the only real negative of the incredible SensorDry 2.5 Graphene Jacket.

As with Ping ranges through the years, you'll get a bright blue colorway, this time with some lovely black detailing, as well as an all-black version. There's no red, navy or grey versions to speak of so we'd love to see some more colors added at some point.

Overall, this is undoubtedly one of the best golf rain jackets you can buy and should sit right among the top contenders when it comes to the best golf waterproofs.

It's definitely premium priced but for a reason, as it's highly functional, looks great, offers comfort and feels lovely to wear with its stretch properties.

From the moment you unpackage the Ping SensorDry Pro jacket, it is clear that it is one of the best waterproof golf jackets on the market.

This fully waterproof garment, coming with an impressive three-year waterproof guarantee, is eye-catching in its design with the front panel coming in either blue, red or black with black or grey arms.

I wouldn't say I was a massive fan of the blue/black colour I was testing but that is, of course, personal preference.

An all-black, all-navy or all-grey version would have been preferred but you will certainly stand out on the course with the blue and red options.

The jacket is made with a stretchy material and it's certainly lightweight, giving a very comfortable fit and nothing that would put you off from producing good golf swings.

An extremely comfortable part of the jacket is the cuffs, which have an elastic inner to create a snug and soft fit around your wrists.

The outer cuffs are velcro-adjustable so there is no need to worry about water seeping down your arms.

However, saying that, the adjustability could be slightly tighter on your wrists but the inner elastic wrist will stop water seeping in if you can't quite get a tight-enough fit.

Another way the jacket keeps water out is thanks to an adjustable neck cuff, which can be tightened to ensure that water doesn't run down your neck and back.

We found this to be very effective.

The SensorPro Dry jacket comes with three pockets - a chest pocket and two lower front pockets.

The lower pockets come with both zips and velcro.

This may seem like over-kill but the velcro does come in handy when you want quick access during the round for things like your golf ball, tees, pitch mark repairer and so on.

You do also get added peace of mind with the zips that everything in the pockets will stay bone dry during bad weather.

The chest pocket is secure with a zip fixing, so that's where you may want to store valuables like your phone or a small GPS device, or simply use it as a safe place to store your scorecard.

With the lightweight, flexible materials used, the SensorDry Pro alone will not keep you sufficiently warm enough during the coldest of weathers so a base layer or mid-layer underneath is certainly required throughout the winter.

For shoulder seasons and summer, this does mean that the jacket shouldn't be too hot as it does its job in protecting you from wind and rain whilst not being a full-on winter coat as you'd expect.

How tall am I/what is my build?

I am 5'11" and of stocky build. 

What do I normally wear - does it come up big/small?

Usually a large.

How did it fit/feel/perform?

The fit was perfect for me and the lightweight, stretchy make-up of the jacket ensures a very comfortable wear.

It performs great and has no adverse affects on your golf swing. It is slightly loud during motion I would say, however.

Any extra details you notice?

The elasticated wrist cuffs are superb and certainly something I wasn't expecting.

The use of velcro and zips for the front pockets is also a nice touch.

Can you wear it off the course? 

On the whole I would say no due to my personal taste as well as the fact that it is not overly warm.

However, it would certainly do the job if you're out hiking or cycling and want something lightweight to keep the elements at bay.

We teamed up with Ping to give two golfers the Ultimate Ping Play Your Best Experience, including coaching from a GM Top 25 coach and a full custom fitting

There are three ways to get better at golf: practice, coaching and custom-fit clubs. The first is very much down to individual commitment and desire, but the second and third we can help with, especially with an opportunity like the Ultimate Ping Play Your Best Experience...

Our September issue’s Fault Fixer Special in association with Ping saw experienced Golf Monthly Top 25 coach, Barney Puttick, offer expert tips on 50 of the most common faults to afflict golfers. As part of that feature, we teamed up with Ping to offer two lucky readers The Ultimate Ping Play Your Best Experience.

And so it was that in late November, Charlie Parker and Paul Britnell found themselves tucking into a hearty breakfast in the Gainsborough clubhouse close to Ping’s headquarters ahead of the big day, having been carefully selected from a cast of hundreds who put themselves forward for this incredible opportunity.

Shortly afterwards, they headed down to Ping’s European Custom Fitting Centre to warm up, before venturing out onto the closing stretch of the Lakes Course so Barney could see how their games held up in the heat of battle and provide tips and advice as required. It was then back to the Fitting Centre for some intensive one-on-one coaching with Barney based on what he had observed.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it was time for Charlie and Paul to undergo comprehensive Ping custom fittings from driver down to putter with Ping Product Specialists, Paul Rymer and Ed James, in the quest to help them both get the very most out of their swings.

Read on to find out how Charlie’s and Paul’s Ultimate Ping Play Your Best Experiences unfolded…

Charlie Parker Handicap: 9 Home Club: Chester GC

Charlie says: Having recently returned to playing regularly at my home club, I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in ball-striking and scoring, and feel I can achieve a low single-figure handicap. My current clubs have been bought for me over time and are fitted with various shafts and heads, which I feel is hampering my ability to achieve my goal.

Barney’s advice: Charlie’s lower half was a little overactive. Coming into impact he tended to spin out and lose control, especially with the driver, so we worked on getting his backswing a little more stable. Trackman also showed that he needed to get his downswing a little shallower, so we did a drill where you pull the right foot back to not only help with that, but also give him more extension down the line. He was also releasing a little early with his irons, so we used the smash bag to instil the feeling of the club releasing correctly at impact.

Fitted for

Driver: Ping G 10.5˚ LS Tec, Ping Tour 65 X-flex 3-wood: Ping G 14.5˚, Ping Tour 65 X-flex Hybrid: Ping G 19˚, Ping Tour 90 stiff flex Irons 4-PW: Ping iBlade, Ping Z-Z65 stiff flex Wedges: Ping Glide 50˚/SS, 54˚/SS, 60˚/TS, Ping Z-Z65 stiff flex Putter: Ping Vault Voss, slate finish, 34in

Fitter’s feedback: Charlie is 6ft 3in but had been using standard-length irons so we went half an inch longer and a degree and a half more upright as his bad shot was consistently right. We also went to a slightly lighter shaft, and the overall effect was improved ball flight and ball speed, and a much tighter dispersion. Charlie tends to get a little steep with his driver, generating too low a launch and too much spin, so we worked on that for a while before opting for a 10.5˚ low-spinning LS Tec with an extra stiff shaft. A third wedge improved Charlie’s gaps at the short end of the bag.

Charlie’s feedback: It was a real surprise to be fitted for extra stiff shafts in my driver and 3-wood, but it definitely helped me control the ball better. The lie angle tape showed I was striking it very centrally with the longer iron shafts too. I picked up between five and ten yards throughout the bag, which I was really happy with.

Paul Britnell Handicap: 23 Home Club: The Oxfordshire GC

Paul says: I’ve been struggling with two aspects recently - my ability to drive the ball without slicing it, and my distance control from 70 yards and in. I’m hoping that spending time with Barney and getting a full Ping custom-fit will help me to play my best, reduce my handicap and fulfil my golfing ambition of winning a club tournament.

Barney’s advice: Paul’s done really well for someone who’s not been playing long. He tends to lose his angles by dropping his lead shoulder, which means he then comes over the top with the club coming in too steeply often leading to a slice, so we worked on an exercise to keep him more level through the swing. He was also using too much loft near the green and getting too handsy. So we worked on pushing his hands a little further in front and getting a flatter right wrist at impact [Paul’s left-handed] for more solid contact and more consistent spin.

Fitted for

Driver: Ping G 10˚ SF Tec, Ping ALTA 55 regular 5-wood: Ping G 19˚ SF Tec, Ping ALTA 65 regular Hybrid: Ping G 22˚, Ping ALTA 70 regular Irons 5-PW: Ping G, Ping CFS G regular graphite Wedges: Ping Glide 50˚/SS, 54˚/SS, 58˚/SS, Ping CFS G regular graphite Putter: Ping Cadence TR Ketsch Strong, 35in

Fitter’s feedback: Our G iron gave Paul the forgiveness he wanted, while a slightly longer shaft helped with posture. To Paul’s surprise, he loved the feel of graphite shafts, and gained about seven yards with his irons. A new 22˚ hybrid filled a gap at the long end, while a G SF Tec 5-wood straightened out some of his slice tendencies. It was the same with the G SF Tec driver, where we also came down a couple of degrees from his current 12˚ model to improve spin rates and ball flight. A slightly shorter shaft gave Paul more control, and he picked up 15 yards off the tee.

Paul’s feedback: It was an amazing experience – much more high-tech than I expected. There’s so much data to analyse and the guys here are very knowledgeable. A lot of it for me was done on feel, but the numbers don’t lie – each time the numbers improved, the feel was better too. I want to get down to 18, if not lower, and feel I can do it, especially with the great tips from Barney too.

The new Ping Tour wedge features new Gore Groove technology, designed to offer improved control and consistency. Ping engineers say they are able to precision mill the grooves at its Phoenix headquarters to hold extreme tolerances, to maximise performance. Three different sole widths will be available, to suit different swings and conditions.

These are the thin sole (TS) for firm conditions and those with shallow swings, wide sole (WS) for soft conditions, those with steep swings and particularly for use from bunkers, and a standard sole (SS). All three options are designed to be versatile and allow the head to be opened up. The Ping Tour head is traditional in shape and features a tuning port in the cavity designed to improve forgiveness and help to provide a solid feel.

The Tour wedge (£113) will be available in 47° (SS), 50° (SS), 52° (SS), 54°(SS, WS), 56° (SS, WS), 58° (SS, WS, TS) and 60° (SS, WS, TS).

The new Ping Anser hybrid combines the matte-black finish first seen in the i20 woods, with a deeper head and added forgiveness. Internal and external weighting means that the centre of gravity positions vary depending on loft, to produce the desired trajectory and distance with each club.

The higher lofted hybrids have a more forward CG position to optimise launch conditions. In the lower lofted hybrids, the CG is slightly lower and back in the head to help produce a higher launch and optimal spin. The black finish is designed to reduce distracting glare, while the lowest portion of the face has been made wider to deliver a cleaner contact and improve forgiveness.

The Ping Anser hybrid (RRP £180) will be available in 17°, 20°, 23° and 27° lofts, with the Ping TFC 800H shaft in Soft R, R, S and X flexes.

The Ping Anser Forged irons are the follow-up to the first forged Ping iron in more than 40 years and feature a new progressive design. Stabilisation bars in the back of the Ping Anser Forged long irons help lower the centre of gravity and launch the ball on a higher flight. These bars get increasingly vertical and thicker to help produce a more penetrating flight with high spin.

The Ping Anser Forged heads also get progressively smaller through to the short irons, to offer more control in the scoring clubs. The forged steel body features a dense tungsten weight and a hollow sole. This combination is designed to provide added forgiveness, but with a forged feel.

The Ping Anser Forged irons (£160 per club) will be available in 3-PW with Project X 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 steel shafts and TFC 800i graphite shafts in Soft R, R and S flexes.

Ping is set to launch its first ever adjustable fairway wood, the Ping Anser fairway wood. Through Ping's Trajectory Tuning process, players will be able to fine-tune the trajectory of the club through loft adjustment. The adjustability is designed to be simple and easy to use and allows the loft to be changed up or down by half a degree.

The head features the sleek matte-black finish first seen in the i20 woods and is designed to reduce glare. A weight port in the rear of the sole produces a mid to high launch and low levels of spin. There is more surface area low on the face to improve contact at impact, and the back of the sole is tapered to help ensure a clean contact.

The adjustable design is lightweight and small so that it doesn't affect the aerodynamics of the head. The Ping Anser fairway wood (£220) will be available in 14.5°, 16.5° and 18.5° lofts, with the Ping TFC 800F shaft as standard in Soft R, R, S and X flexes. Adding loft to each club will slightly close the face and reducing loft will open it.

The Ping Anser driver will be the first adjustable offering from the brand. Through Ping's Trajectory Tuning process, players will be able to fine-tune the trajectory of the Ping Anser driver with a choice of shafts and through loft adjustment. The adjustability is designed to be simple and easy to use and allows the loft to be changed up or down by half a degree.

With the Ping Anser driver head, there will be four high-quality shafts available at no extra cost. The standard shafts on offer are all designed to perform differently. They are the Ping TFC 800D in Soft R, R, S and X flexes, the Aldila Phenom in R and S flexes, the Fujikura Blur Red in R, S and X flexes and the Mitsubishi Diamana 'ahina in S and X flexes.

The 460cc head features the sleek matte-black finish first seen in the i20 woods and is designed to reduce glare. A weight port in the rear of the sole produces a mid to high launch and low levels of spin. The adjustable design is lightweight and small so that it doesn't affect the aerodynamics of the head.

The Ping Anser driver (RRP £355) will be available in lofts of 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5° and 12°, all with plus or minus 0.5 degree of loft adjustment.

Ping has announced that it will sell 5,000 limited-edition pink Ping G20 drivers, inspired by the one used by Masters winner Bubba Watson.

From its sales, Ping will donate 5% of the proceeds its fundraising campaign, "Bubba Long in Pink. Driven by Ping."

The pink Ping G20 drivers will be available in golf shops nationwide from June 1, 2012 with an RRP of £339.

As part of Ping's campaign, the company made a $10,000 upfront donation and gives $300 for every drive Watson hits 300 yards or farther (up to 300 drives).

To date, $61,600 has been generated. All funds raised will go to Phoenix-area charities, chosen by Ping with Bubba's support. Its effort is part of the "Bubba & Friends Drive to a Million" initiative launched by Watson in January to raise $1 million for charities this year.

The pink Ping G20 drivers will have a bright pink shaft and clubhead, and they will be available in a 9.5, 10.5 and 12-degree lofts for right-handed players and 12 degrees for left handers.

Ping G20 driver review

Ping's Mark Wilson had only been using his new Ping i20 driver and Ping i20 irons for two weeks before winning the Humana Challenge on the PGA Tour.

In Wilson's bag for his win was the Ping i20 driver and Ping i20 irons, which the American put to great effect to win the Humana Challenge by two shots.

En route to victory Wilson returned a scoring average of 66 and looked totally at ease with Ping's new i20 range. 

The Ping i20 irons were launched as part of a full new range from Ping. They replace the Ping i15 clubs and sit between the Ping S56 and Ping G20 offerings.

Ping's new i20 irons are progressive, designed to be high-launching and the short irons penetrating. The set is aimed at players looking for compact heads but with more forgiveness at the top end.

A new set of Ping i20 irons are to be launched as part of a full new range from Ping. They replace the Ping i15 clubs and sit between the Ping S56 and Ping G20 offerings.

Ping's new i20 irons are progressive, designed to be high-launching and the short irons penetrating. The set is aimed at players looking for compact heads but with more forgiveness at the top end.

This is achieved thanks to a multi-metal composition that should help improve consistency and distance control. The placement of a tungsten weight makes the clubs easier to shape and control than the Ping i15.

Golf Monthly Forum: Your views on the new Ping i20 range

Golf Monthly received the new Ping i20 range at the back end of 2011 and you can see pictures of the new i20 range here.

A stabilisation bar in the back of each head controls the vibrations at impact to help improve feel. Aesthetically the cavity design gives a very different look compared to other Ping clubs.

This is particularly due to the inclusion of a ferrule, which has not been used on an i series iron before. Ping says this is to create a more traditional look at address.

The new Ping i20 irons are expected to be available from mid March with an rrp of £90 (s) and £110 (g) per club.

Meanwhile, the new i20 woods from Ping include a new Ping i20 driver, Ping i20 fairway wood and Ping i20 hybrid. The whole range is aimed at players with faster swing speeds who want to keep spin down but still want some forgiveness.

Ping's new i20 woods feature a matt black finish designed to reduce glare and look sleek at address. The driver (£299) has an aerodynamic 460cc head that should enhance club-head speed without sacrificing accuracy.

More curve to the design of the crown improves the way the air moves over the club to produce 30% less drag than the Ping G20 driver. The stock shaft is half an inch shorter than the G20 to offer added control. Tungsten weighting in the head makes the design more forgiving than the i15 though.  

The fairway wood (£200) has a compact and traditional shaped stainless steel head that is designed to produce a high launch. The new Ping i20 fairway wood is more compact than the G20 but has a neutral bias, rather than the fade bias of the i15. It will be available as a 3 strong, 3 and 5 wood option.

The Ping i20 hybrid (£160) is also compact but a deep COG should help produce a penetrating flight. Forgiveness has been enhanced across the face to help improve forgiveness. The leading edge is squarer and the head is shorter from heel to toe, which should make it easier to hit from deep rough.

Last year, Ping released details of a new Ping i20 driver that hit the shelves in mid March 2012. The 460cc head has been designed to offer optimum forgiveness and the aerodynamic design should create greater clubhead speed through impact.

One of the key design features in the new Ping i20 driver is the crown. Designed to be more aerodynamic it should reduce drag to increase clubhead speed. The head however, should still provide Ping's trademark forgiveness thanks to the two tungsten sole weights that increase MOI and help improve launch conditions.

As with the rest of the woods in the range, the PING i20 driver has a striking matt black finish that is designed to reduce glare.

The Ping i20 driver is available with two different stock shaft options; a Ping TFC 707H for lower spinning shots or a Project X Black for a higher trajectory. The new Ping i20 driver will have a recommended retail price of £299.

Ping has increased the surface area low on the clubface to offer a combination of forgiveness and optimal launch conditions. The head itself however has a clean, compact look that will attract the attention of the better player. The straight leading edge and slim, contoured head are designed to make aiming easy.

The new Ping i20 hybrid comes with two stock shaft offerings - the Ping TFC 707H for lower spin or the lighter Project X Black that should offer mid spin and a higher trajectory.

The Ping i20 hybrid is available in three lofts; 17˚, 20˚ and 23˚ and comes with a recommended retail price of £160.

The new model is aimed at players searching for a compact, classic look but with a little more forgiveness in the longer irons. The long irons are designed to be slightly larger, higher launching, and more forgiving. The smaller short irons feature less offset and should improve distance control. Tungsten toe weights have been added to the head to offer perimeter weighted forgiveness. Ping has given its i20 irons a low-glare satin chrome finish as well as a traditional ferrule to create a classic look. There are two stock shafts available in the new Ping i20 design - a Ping CFS steel shaft and a graphite TFC 169i option. The Ping i20 irons are expected to be available from mid March with a recommended retail price of £90 (s) and £110 (g) per club.

The most eye-catching new feature of the Ping i20 range is the matt black finish given to the woods. According to Ping Chairman & CEO John Solheim, "The non-glare finish absorbs light, allowing the player to focus without distraction. Our tour pros are very enthusiastic about the finish."

The Ping i20 irons have a multi-material construction and are a progressive set. The long irons are designed to be larger and more forgiving than the previous i15 design but the shorter irons are more compact and feature less offset.

The new Ping i20 range is expected to hit the shelves in mid March 2012. There are two different stock shaft options in both the woods and the irons.
