Graphite or Steel Shaft for G20?

I am shopping for new Ping G20 Irons and have been considering graphite shafts. I currently have steel and was wondering if I should consider graphite? Will graphite shafts really help my golf game in any way?

I personally think that, for many golfers, graphite shafts are mostly a personal preference decision. They are lighter in weight, which may feel more comfortable to you. Also, some golfers may think graphite shafts are a sort of status symbol.
But there are actually some logical reasons why you might want to pay the extra money for graphite shafts. Below are the main ones that I would look at in considering graphite versus steel shafts for your new Ping G20 Irons.

One of the major reasons to consider Ping G20 Irons graphite shafts is that they reduce the shock at impact. If you have joint problems or are a senior golfer, this can help reduce soreness or potential joint problems, like tendonitis in the elbow.

The weight difference in graphite shafts can also help in a couple of other areas. Graphite shafts can weigh between half to thirty percent less than steel shafts. This can let you play a longer driver without adding extra weight. It can also help you add some distance to your golf shots if you have a smooth tempo and slower golf swing than most players. If your tendency is, like me, to swing the golf club too fast, I would stay with steel shafts and work on your tempo.

Distance is usually a goal for everyone, but Ping G20 Irons graphite shafts are recommended many times for senior, women, and mid handicap golfers to add distance without having to change their golf swing or their clubs.

Graphite shafts can also be constructed in a number of different ways to affect ball flight, so this provides a number of alternatives to golfers who feel that they hit the ball too high, too low, etc.

So whether you are looking for a little edge to improve your golf swing or to justify the extra cost to your spouse, good luck and good golfing!

My Best Ping G20 Irons

Ping released a lot of exceptional clubs especially its latest extension of its G-line. The previous G15 achieved many acclaims from golfers and now it is still being used by many people. But to be frank, I’ve never given the G15 irons more than a once over as they weren’t in the category of irons I typically prefer. I love Ping G20 Irons released this year.

I took up golf at 40 and quickly decided that better players had “better” clubs. So I spent about 4 years playing rounds and buying/trying/selling/buying what I learned on internet golf forums to be the best of the best golf equipment. I posted a lot of reviews – most having long since been lost/deleted off other forums – and I learned a lot about golf clubs in the process. But my handicap kind of stalled in the mid-teens even though I was playing 3/4 rounds a week. I was learning through experience that you can’t buy a better game.

My iron choices have all had one thing in common: little to no offset. The reason was simple and 100% attributable to a shortcoming of my own making: my inability to correctly align the blade to (or open to) the target at address. I have this maddening habit of aligning the toe of an iron to the hosel — that is what looks “at the target” to me. So the more offset an iron had the more left my iron face was/is pointed at address: irons with lots of offset equaled left of target results for me.
At Ping’s factory test range I really raised an eyebrow at the offset G20 Lob wedge poking out of my test bag. Let’s just say my expectations were low. So, for fun, I started popping some high ones out towards the ~90 yard pin to warm up. I was better able to align this offset face because the last groove was painted white. Noticing a heavy shot still gave me a decent result, I began trying to hit it fatter and fatter. By the time I got to striking 4″ behind the ball and watching it still fly I was giggling. I couldn’t get any nasty results fatting the G20 Lob wedge off Ping’s firm, tight grass. This, along with my short time going through the G20 bag, opened my mind to further testing.

The long and mid G20 irons demonstrate a level of forgiveness that I have not experienced before. I can’t count how many times I’ve hit a ball poorly, moaned/groaned/oh no’d as I finished my swing only to have my playing partners give me that “What’s wrong with that?” glare after seeing the results. Toe shots, heel shots, low groovers all, and most chunks give such undeservedly good results that you just kind of chuckle knowing what should have happened. Thin it and you’ll still be long, but just about every other miss is forgiven to what my first golf coach called a “good miss” — usually a little short. And for my rusty game I’m talking about 3, maybe 4 stroke-save opportunities per round. Tough up & downs become long two-putt par saves.

Ben Crane won by a par Sim was a new dark horse

(Calif Sunday)In the Farmers Insurance Open, Ben Crane won the first place with 70 pars less 2 pars than double par. However Amy Mickelson shot 73 pars in the last turn and gained the 19th .
Something must been done on the fifth par 18th hole. Michael Sim and Ben Crane all did the same thing: lay up. But the difference generate soon, Ben Crane was leading by one.
Sim did have more than 240 yards to a pin over the water, but laying up destroyed his winning dream. Crane was not under the pressure while it put great pressure on Sim who spun a wedge into the hole nearly to see it go off the green.
As for Crane, his wedge nearly go off the green too and difficult to handle. But he had a par and got his first win sice 2005 in Milwaukee, a span of amoust 5000 holes after two putts. This was this third time to win. This would had been the best victory of his career and brought him to a high level (his other win was at the 2003 BellSouth Classic).
While for Sim, the beginner must learn from him. He wasn’t the Nationwide Tour Player of the Year last year for nothing. We must get used to see his name high on the leader board through the years.

Ping G20 Iron is cheap still high-tech

You may be wrong if you think the new Ping G20 Irons own a quite high price, because the new G20 irons that come with the online golf store are very cheap, but they also own the high quality and high performance, so it is a good way for you to buy the cheap but good clubs from the online golf store. And now please allow me to tell more about the new Ping G20 to you. G20 Irons are designed to deliver superior distance, control, accuracy, and performance. And they are specially for the golfers who need increased forgiveness and distance on the golf course.Extreme perimeter weighting of the ping g20 in the deep, multi-cavity design makes the 17-4 stainless steel heads highly forgiving.
What’s more, the multi-material cavity badge made with soft elastomeric heel and toe sections improves feel and sound. Compare with other irons, the ping irons g20 own the thinner face, then, there are more forgiveness. And the wider sole of the g20 irons also can provide a higher launch angle. In additon, the Ping g20′ strong lofts and a low center of gravity produce long shots with a high trajectory and maximum forgiveness. So without any doubt, the cheap G20 are the good irons for your golf.
