The PING G20 driver is offered in 4 listed factory lofts from 8.5° to 12°, covering a 3.5° span. The 8.5° head is the lowest-loft starting point, while 12° adds 3.5° of static loft. This is a fixed-hosel model, so the loft chart below is about the factory heads rather than sleeve settings.
G20 Driver Loft Chart
| Club | Loft | Gap |
|---|---|---|
| 8.5° head | 8.5° | — |
| 9.5° head | 9.5° | 1° |
| 10.5° head | 10.5° | 1° |
| 12° head | 12° | 1.5° |
Range: 8.5°–12° (3.5° total span).
Gapping: Adjacent factory loft gaps are mixed across the lineup.
G20 Driver Relative Loft Map
These bars compare the listed factory lofts relative to each other inside this model. They are not measured launch-monitor outputs. The goal is to show the practical starting-point difference between the lower and higher heads.
G20 Driver Launch, Spin & Trajectory Snapshot
These color bars show the relative tendencies within this model. Loft usually moves launch the most, trajectory close behind, and spin more conservatively because actual spin also depends heavily on head design, CG and strike.

How to use it: use the lower-loft heads if you want a flatter, stronger starting point. Move higher if you need easier launch, with trajectory usually moving along with loft and spin shown a bit more conservatively.
Loft Spread
The listed factory choices cover 3.5°, from 8.5° to 12°.
Choice Spacing
Adjacent factory lofts use mixed spacing: 1°, 1°, 1.5°.
8.5° vs 12°
The 12° head has 3.5° more static loft than the 8.5° head. That is the cleanest factory-head comparison before fitting the rest of the setup.
G20 vs Other PING Driver Lofts
This comparison uses each model’s lowest listed factory loft, so the numbers are being compared on the same basis.
| Model | Reference | Loft | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| G20 | 8.5° head | 8.5° | This model |
| Anser | 8.5° head | 8.5° | Same lowest loft |
| G25 | 8.5° head | 8.5° | Same lowest loft |
| G400 LST | 8.5° head | 8.5° | Same lowest loft |
| i20 | 8.5° head | 8.5° | Same lowest loft |
How Each G20 Driver Loft Changes the Starting Point
| Club | Loft | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 8.5° head | 8.5° | This is the lowest-loft factory head and the lower-launch starting point within this model’s listed range. Actual ball flight still depends heavily on delivered loft and strike. |
| 9.5° head | 9.5° | This sits between the lowest and highest factory heads and provides a middle launch starting point. Actual ball flight still depends heavily on delivered loft and strike. |
| 10.5° head | 10.5° | This sits between the lowest and highest factory heads and provides a middle launch starting point. Actual ball flight still depends heavily on delivered loft and strike. |
| 12° head | 12° | This is the highest-loft factory head and the higher-launch starting point within this model’s listed range. Actual ball flight still depends heavily on delivered loft and strike. |
Static factory loft is the starting point, not the final ball flight. Delivered loft, strike location and shaft fit still matter. This fixed-hosel model keeps the focus on choosing the right head loft to begin with.
PING G20 Loft FAQs
What lofts does the PING G20 driver come in?
The listed factory lofts are 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5° and 12°.
What is the loft range of the G20?
It runs from 8.5° to 12°, a 3.5° total span.
What is the typical factory loft step?
The median adjacent step is 1°.
Which G20 factory loft should launch highest?
The 12° head has the most static loft and should generally start higher, all else equal.
Can you adjust the loft with a wrench?
No. This is a fixed-hosel driver, so changing static loft means changing to a different head loft.
Is the lowest-loft G20 automatically the longest?
No. Too little loft can reduce carry if launch gets too low. The best loft is the one that produces the strongest launch, spin and strike combination for the player.
Spec & fitting disclaimer: Loft availability, lie angle and hosel hardware can vary by year, region, handedness or component setup. Verify the exact club with PING’s official documentation or a PING-authorized fitter before making an adjustment or ordering a replacement.
