Though some players may be making resolutions to not buy new clubs this year, that looks to be much easier said than done, especially with the introduction of PING's newest line, the i20. While we all know that there's much more to a club than just a pretty exterior, the matte black finish of PING's latest will surely compel more than a few to at least give them a swing.

I believe that if one were to ask around and get completely honest answers, appearance counts more than most like to let on; however when you combine a sharp, sleek exterior with aerodynamic refinements, strategic weighting, and supreme command and control, you're more than likely going to have a winner on your hands. Let's dig a little deeper and see what PING's i20 line is all about.Could there possibly be a better way for PING to kick off 2012, other than introducing their new i20 drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, and irons? All clubs in this series were meticulously designed with one goal in mind - optimizing their performance, from their weighting down to the choice of exterior finish.

John A. Solheim, PING Chairman & CEO said, "In the i20 series, we’ve combined workability, distance and forgiveness with the goal to make any golfer a more versatile and complete player. We’ve engineered the i20s with a solid feel and generous forgiveness but also a degree of workability for the player who wants full command of the clubface for controlling trajectory and shot shape. Anyone who is passionate about their game is going to be very confident and capable with this game-improvement technology."

A number of set options are available for the i20 irons, as PING offers 3i up through 9i, along with the standard PW as well as a UW, SW, and LW. PING's own CFS steel shafts and TFC 169i graphite shafts are the standard shaft options.
