Sorry for the short post on these. Will have more details about the Ping G20 Irons coming up this week…but I wanted to give you something to see before then.
So are these really the Ping G20 Irons? Well kind of…this is the counterfeit version. The counterfeits of Ping irons generally start showing up before the real thing hits the streets. And usually come pretty damn close to the overall look of what the real Ping G20 iron will look like.
My name is Adam Beach. This place, this site, it’s more than just a business to me, it truly is an expression of who I am and what I believe in, down to my core. I feel the work I do is a reflection of who I am and the idea behind the work I do is more important than the work itself. You see, I don’t actually see myself in the golf business at all, I am in the business of caring. I am a guy who wakes up with one goal: do the right thing.

i only had a 3 hybrid and my dad still uses his spalding rebel 1996 3 iron. he hits it 180 and straight as an arrow. so i got my Taylormade raylor (by the way it is an excellent rough club) tinkered to be a 4 hybrid instead of a 3 and we went out to go get a 3 iron. i found the PING EYE 2 3 iron and i smash it 170 each time straight. but yes it is horribly ugly. i work at a country club and am intersted in saving for K15s or rapture v2 irons. what is your opinions on that? P.S i have a 19 handicap and am prone to hitting to ball over the center of gravity.

These will sell just as well as the G10, and G15 did. They’re just not for me. Now on the other hand if Ping released a modern EYE2. I’d be ALL OVER IT. Thanks for the first look though MGS!

They are ugly as, so I’ll wait to see how I hit them on the demo day before trading in my G.10’s – which are also ugly, but the ball flight is a thing of beauty.
NB the curve above the toe is a retro signature of the ZINGS don’t you think.?
They were ugly when launched, but look like an E-Type Jag now!
Enjoy – more great articles with photos please mygolfspy

Same old, just more chunky. Stick with mizuno. I mean at least they still look like golf clubs, even the chunkiest JPX thingies, still look niceish…and they hit it great. Come on, do you want the club to do everything for you, it wont. Less chunky clubs please!

Being a devoted Ping fan, I can understand the technology and these are probably performance focused for a specific caliber of player, BUT, man o man you still have to look at them. At least they could have killed the paint fill in the cavity and used a brushed or satin finish with no embellishment.

These are like having a ugly girl friend that you wouldn’t want to be seen with.

Really nasty looking. If you need that much forgiveness should you be on the course? Personally I’m waiting for the I20’s before deciding whether to buy some I15’s. Whilst I expect the I20’s to be better looking than this it’s making me feel a lot more comfortable about purchasing now.

I am a PING guy. I love my i-15 irons. However the only use I see for those are for gardening. I sure how the i-20’s are NOTHING like those.

I have to say yuck! The G15’s were nicer than these and what’s with the G20 logo could it be it be anymore italic? It’s almost horizontal! I always look at new PING irons and think they’re identical to the previous model but they’re subtley different. The i15’s looked quite nice hopefully i20’s follow suit.
As always with PING the actual performance provides a relaxing aesthetic balm.

You do realize these are fakes right Christopher?

They are? I only look at the pictures! These things are usually pretty close to the original prototypes/finished model. I don’t think the authentic ones will be that different. Apart from the actual build quality and the shafts.

I hit the G5s for about a month when I was starting out. Then picked up a set of ISI’s. Let me know when the new blades come out.

Ping makes some of the least visually appealing clubs on the market in my opinion. Whether they perform or not their looks are most always lacking from my viewpoint.

They always have made “ugly” clubs but I can remember back in the day (telling my age here!) when Ping clubs were sold at Clubs only and you could not get your hands on the “ugly” things with the perimeter weighting because of the demand. Ping was a genius with their marketing and they have faithful followers…so with marketing and the faithful, looks won’t matter that much. For the record I don’t like looking at any Ping iron of any era, just saying!
Great day to you!

so next logical question is when do we get to see the counterfeit i-20 version, does anyone know if Ping is doing away with the I series- bring back my Longhorn orange!!

You weren’t really thinking of bagging the G series anyways were you Will? Didn’t think that would be the iron you were lookin at.
14 years ago
I think I just threw up in my mouth… Definitely staying away from the 20 series so for. There may be some hope for the S series. If not, I think I may have to get away from Ping irons and switch to Scratch.
