The Ping G20 Driver is designed for all ability levels. External weighting helps launch the forgiving G20 driver with a high, low spinning ball flight for maximum distance and accuracy. PING's proprietary high-balance-point TFC 169D shaft creates a higher MOI and generates faster ball speeds enabling golfers to swing a clubhead with more mass at the same speed, for longer, straighter drives. The Ping G20 is a 460cc clubhead made from Ti 8-1-1, a lower-density, lighter alloy material. Its high strength-to-weight ratio increases the MOI and allows additional weight to be strategically placed on the head. Large, variable-thickness in the Ping G20 Driver's face increases MOI across the hitting surface and generates faster ball speeds for increased forgiveness and power.
At the recent Open Championship, the Ping G20 was Ping's most popular model, with nine in play.
Ping G20 driver is making its public debut this week at the PGA Tour's FedEx St. Jude Classic. (The club will be available at retail in mid-August.) Expect Ping's Tour pros, including defending champion Lee Westwood, to work with the new driver during the practice days, though, it remains to be seen whether anyone will put it into play come Thursday.
The company's "game-improvement"Ping's G20 driver are almost always among the highest-rated sticks in Golf Magazine's annual "ClubTest" program because of their ability to blend forgiveness and power. Ping's tried-and-true design checklist includes optimizing center-of-gravity location; aerodynamics; feel; clubface size; structure (how it interacts on shots around the face); and clubhead inertia (stability) on off-center hits (high/low or heel/toe).
Where shape is concerned the G20 looks every bit of its 460CCs (that's a nice way of saying it's bulkier than most).
Well, as I talked, one tester was a bit put off by the size, but for the most part nobody else had much to say about it. Finally, at address the face appears to have less bulge and roll than other drivers (this is true of the K15 as well). While it doesn't matter one way or the other, if you're accustomed to a more prominent rounding of your driver face, the ping G20 driver will appear flat by comparison. The price is also cool,
The looks about ping G20 driver is pretty attractive, it does have externally visible weighting, they've managed to tuck it in just enough so that it's not visible at address. It's an excellent compromise that will still appeal to those guys who want to see their technology, and won't offend those of us who don't. As is typical for PING, there sole graphics while prominent, are not flashy, and while I'm not a tremendous fan of the alignment aid on the crown (seriously…what is that thing), it serves its purpose just fine - even if it does make me want the old crescent style back.

Where to Get Cheap Golf Clubs?
New golfer beginners are always confused for the question that how to get the right golf clubs for themselves and where to get the cheap golf clubs with better quality. Many advertised shop and products lead to that they do not know how to make choice. So here are some points when you purchase your golf clubs. I hope they can give you some help.
Think about that for a second. The reason used clubs are for sale is not that the clubs are no good, it's because the previous owner simply didn't like them. Equipment choice can be a very personal thing in golf. If the club doesn't feel right or if you just saw an ad that guarantees additional yardage if you buy the latest driver, you're apt to buy new and try to get rid of your old clubs by trading them in or selling them.
So where do you find these clubs?
Well there are two basic sources, retailers and private parties. Without question, the best deals can be had from private parties but it can be a hit and miss time consuming proposition.
Checking your local paper for yard sales may or may not help you in your search for cheap golf club sets. The reason being is that golf clubs are rarely featured in the yard sale ads. However, it's a safe bet that one out of four will have clubs for sale. The advantage of yard sales is two fold. First, if there are clubs for sale there probably is a bag for sale as well.
Another factor yard sales are great is because they're usually held on weekend mornings. Where is the husband on a weekend morning? Not at the yard sale but out playing golf. That means that you negotiate with Mom, whose primary motive is to clean out the garage, for the price of those clubs.
Here I Will highly recommend TaylorMade R11 Driver and Ping G20 Irons to you. Because both of them are good golf equipment, I believe they can help your game.
If you are attending to buy cheap golf clubs at online store, here is an online golf oulet which named cheapshopgolf.com which I am highly recommend to you. My friend who loves online shopping tells to me that it is a Golf Equipment Online store.
Thanks for your reading, and Hope you have a wonderful and great day.

Caddie Causes Stir With Racial Inference to Woods
SHANGHAI (AP) — Already one of the most festive evenings in golf, the annual Caddies Awards roast was buzzing with talk that Tiger Woods' former caddie might be getting a prize.
One award was called "Celebration of the Year." Everyone knew who would get it and why.
The surprise was how Steve Williams ripped into his old boss with a racial slur that caused even more commotion involving the jilted caddie and golf's biggest name.
"He's a character within the game of golf, and whatever bitterness that exists between him and Tiger should be in the past by now," said Graeme McDowell, one of several players at the party. "It's unfortunate that it's going to rear it's head again."
Williams, still angered over getting fired by Woods this summer, was working for Adam Scott when he won the Bridgestone Invitational. That tournament also was the first time Woods played since splitting with his caddie. An emotionally charged Williams gave a TV interview on the 18th green and called it "the best win of my life," even though he had been on the bag for 13 majors with Woods.
On Friday night, the host called Williams to the stage to collect his award and asked him to explain his enthusiasm. Williams, with a smirk on his face, leaned toward the microphone and said, "It was my aim to shove it right up that black a------."
On a night filled with banter and off-color remarks, this one was a show-stopper. Heads turned, eyes widened and jaws dropped amid a mixture of shock and laughter.
Williams later issued a statement apologizing to Woods. That was good enough for Scott, who said he had no plans to fire his caddie.
"I think everything in that room last night was all in good spirits and for a bit of fun," Scott said after his third round Saturday at the HSBC Champions. "And I think it probably got taken out of that room in the wrong context."
Even as players and caddies spilled into the bar, they couldn't stop talking about it — some because of the racial overtones, some because of how Williams so openly showed his disdain for Woods.
The ground rules for the roast is that everything is off the record, yet this was bound to get out.
A group of British reporters returning from a night out in Shanghai were at the hotel bar when at least one caddie told them what was said. Williams was stunned the next morning to learn that his comments had been published.

New Mizuno MP-59 Irons
With the release of the new Mizuno MP-59 irons, Mizuno uses titanium for a completely different purpose—forgiveness.
While the MP-59 is made from steel, 12 grams of titanium are forged into a pocket behind the face of each club. (It's the slightly darker material in the photo above.) Mizuno says the titanium allows the clubs to maintain the ideal amount of thickness behind the impact area for solid feel while automatically redistributing the weight to the heel, toe and sole of the club.
"The more you push the weight out to the perimeter and the thinner you make it in the middle, there's a trade-off with feel," says David Llewellyn, research and development manager for Mizuno USA. "But by using a lower density material we can maintain thickness here and build in a little bit of forgiveness."
The heads of the MP-59 irons are slightly smaller than last season's MP-58, the first irons released with this feature that Mizuno calls Ti Muscle. Yet Mizuno claims the clubs have a sweet spot that is 5 percent larger. "The MP-58 has a titanium piece that is fairly uniform along the back," says Llewellyn. "On the MP-59 we focused the titanium right in the middle." That should make them perform better on mis-hits than their predecessors, he said.

Cheap Golf Clubs--Titleist AP2 712 Irons
Recently, Titleist company has launched the new AP1 and AP2 irons. They deliver an industry leading combination of performance, looks and feel. Here I only refer to Titleist AP2 712 Irons.
It features our most advanced multi-material designs which deliver superior distance control through increased moment-of-inertia (MOI) which also provides outstanding solid feel. In addition we have made appearance improvements to both sets.
Titleist has always been about tradition and seem to always be going after the better player. I for one like the new 712 AP2 looks pretty decent. Titleist has long used “700’’ numbers for irons for a long time. It uses 900 numbers for metal woods. The “7” stands for irons, while the “12” stands for the new model year, 2012.
The new titleist AP2 irons 712, which are designed for low handicappers,Titleist has significantly increased the club's moment of inertia (MOI) by re-positioning tungsten weight within the heads.The overall goal was to better apply the different materials used in the design.
Acushnet says the feedback it receives during this validation process influences the design and specifications of the Titleist products available in golf shops around the world. No word yet on when the 712 AP2 irons is available at retail.
Overall, the new cheap golf clubs--Titleist 712 AP2 Irons are more forgiving and more disctance control.It gives the AP2 player more consistent ball speed over a larger area of the face.

Bo Van Pelt Leads Asia Pacific Classic
SELANGOR, Malaysia (AP) — Bo Van Pelt shot a 4-under 67 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over fellow Indiana player Jeff Overton after the third round of the Asia Pacific Classic.
Van Pelt, the winner of the PGA Tour's 2009 U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee, had a 16-under 197 total at The Mines in the second-year event sanctioned by the PGA Tour and Asian Tour.
"I just love to play to compete," Van Pelt said "It's not about the money. That's what gets my juices flowing. Like my grandpa always told me, 'You can't take it with you.'
"Obviously, any time you're near the lead with 18 to go, you're excited. That's why we practice and why we enter tournaments. That's all you can ask for, to have a chance to win on Sunday. It's exciting, and I'm looking forward to it. It's been a while since I won a golf tournament, so it would be great."
Overton, tied for second-round lead with Sweden's Fredrik Jacobson after a course-record 62, had a 69.
"It wasn't my day on the greens," Overton said "Didn't make anything."
Overton noted the Hoosier connection at the top of the leaderboard.
"It's crazy," Overton said. "We're from the same state, Indiana, and probably the only two players in the field or on tour from Indiana. To actually come all the way here, a 12-hour time change, halfway around the world to play golf with each other, it'll be fun."

Luke Donald wins US money list with Disney Classic victory
Britain's Luke Donald clinched the PGA Tour money list title with victory at the Disney Classic in Florida.
The world number one played a magnificent back nine which included six birdies on the way to a 64.
Donald's chances looked far from certain with a bogey six on the eighth but his round came alive on the back nine.
Playing partner and PGA money list rival Webb Simpson finished the tournament four shots behind Donald.
The triumph means Englishman Donald is on course to become the first player to top the money lists in both the United States and Europe.
In Europe the 33-year-old leads by over £1m, but there are eight events left and he will be missing some because his wife Diane is expecting their second child in the next fortnight.
Donald had to win the Florida tournament or finish second to top the money list. It did not look a certainty with eight holes to play as Donald, Simpson, Billy Mayfair and Justin Leonard trailed 15-under-par tournament leader Kevin Chappell by one stroke.
Donald then started playing majestic golf with consecutive birdies on 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15.
He took sole lead of the tournament on the 14th and strengthened his position with an extraordinary 45-foot putt on 15.
His form appeared to put Simpson off his stroke. The 26-year-old American, three under for the front nine, found himself making pars rather than birdies down the home stretch.
Donald, born in Hemel Hempstead, parred 16, 17 and 18 to card his 64 and finish 17 under par.
"I didn't play the Ping G20 Irons fives well," the Englishman said. "But what better time to go on a run than the final round back nine when everything was on the line?
"I wasn't too happy with my swing earlier in the week but it's nice to do it under pressure. All credit to [coach] Pat Goss and the good team I have around me.
"It's been a tremendous year for me. I answered a lot of critics' questions coming here knowing I had to win, and doing it."
A gracious Simpson conceded: "I just ran into a buzz saw! I expected the best player in the world to play well but I didn't quite expect six birdies in a row. I didn't quite have my game where I wanted it." Callaway RAZR Hawk Driver
Donald's Disney win was his fourth PGA career success but his first PGA strokeplay victory since the Honda Classic in 2006.
Donald is still chasing his first major victory, but has posted 14 top 10 finishes in 19 US tournaments in 2011.
The £531,000 Disney Classic cheque took him on to a total of £4.19m ($6.68m) US winnings this year, with Webb Simpson finishing on £3.98m ($6.34m).
Donald currently leads the European Tour money list with £3.34m in earnings, £1.14m clear of Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy.
