I hit the Ping G20 today and was really surprised by it. It has a fairly square look at address, which took some getting used to, being a Titleist guy.
Ping's newest irons--Ping G20 irons are designed to make mis-hits more playable and provide more distance. It showcases the same head profiles, sole thicknesses, lofts and shaft lengths as G15, along with several new features that aid feel, forgiveness and distance.
Ping engineers, for example, strengthened the “Custom Tuning Port” (CTP) in the rear cavity. The reinforced CTP combines with an elastomer badge to reduce face vibration and dampen shock. The thinner, lighter face allows four grams to be shifted more rearward in the head. The payoff should be more playable misses, a higher ball flight and slightly more carry with the long irons.
Ping's newest driver--Ping G20 Driver has hit the tour and Golf Magazine's Rob Sauerhaft says the G20 should provide more carry and roll than its predecessors. It has a heavier head than G15 (7 grams more than standard) for greater force at impact. Additional backweighting and a more elongated face shore up misses.
The reconfigured clubhead — 5 percent higher moment of inertia on heel or toe hits — combines with a light, 45.75-inch "high-balance point" shaft (TFC 169D or TFC 169D Tour) to boost clubhead speed and, thus, distance. Specifically, the TFC 169D shaft has more flexible tip and butt sections for softer feel.

Ping G20 Series Details
Some details on the G20 series have surfaced by Ping, and fortunately we've yet to find any pictures. I will show the pictures Here! Enjoy!
G20 Hybrid (17 degree through 31 degrees)
As for looks, apparently it's very similar to the G15 series, with a slightly darker red and more satin finish. The adjustable lie on the G20 is two degrees flatter than the G15's. A more curved look to it than the G15's.
Ping G20 Irons
Again, very similar to the G15's, with a slightly wider sole. The cavity of these irons features a very similar look to the G15's but with a new soft layer on the back to help with sound, feel and vibrations. The steel shafts also look new, with more evenly spaced steps than the traditional AWT shafts, with a unique and interesting feel.
Ping G20 Driver (8.5, 9.5, 10.5, 12)
The G20 features some added weight on the back end of the driver that they stole from the tip/hosel section. It sits well and square, with a lower face height and sleeker look. It was described as a nice cross between the G15 and K15 model.
G20 Fairway
Like most series, the G20 fairway woods feature a very similar look with the driver. Lower face height, sleek look, and great performance.
