We know Ping is constantly upgrading and designing new ideas in their golf clubs. Since Ping unveiled the G15 model and G20 the response has been extremely positive. While what you can get when comparing the two? This is also of particular interests to many players who are looking forward to improve their game.
The technology of the Ping G15 Irons provides the high-launching, maximum forgiveness benefits that the majority of golfers rely on to bring consistency to their iron play. Ping has opted for a lighter finish than in the Ping K15 and the head itself is slightly more compact to look down on. There is still plenty of confidence-inspiring forgiveness on show. Ping is continuing the long and successful G line with these irons. Ping irons G20 Irons own the good design and good technology which can provide what you need on the golf course, ideal for the golfers who want to improve their golf skills.
The Ping G20 Irons feature some added weight on the back end of the iron set that they stole from the tip/hosel section. It sits well and square, with a lower face height and sleeker look.

The wider sole on the Ping G20 Irons provides a higher launch angle. Strong lofts and a low center of gravity produce long shots with a high trajectory and maximum forgiveness. At address the club head sits very well behind the ball, although in some of the longer irons you can see the back of the cavity, which may not appeal to all. The steel shafts also look new, with more evenly spaced steps than the traditional AWT shafts, with a unique and interesting feel.
The Ping G15 Irons still felt good to me and although I hit the G20 a bit higher that may not translate into more distance. I have tried many irons and consistently hit my 8 iron right at 135 yards. I guess getting the ball up quicker and softer feel it goes to the new G20. Consistency, familairity and distance I would probably stick with my trusted G15s.
