How do I telll if a golf club is offset or nonoffset by looking at it. I have a Ping g2 460cc driver /11.5*?

Question

I purchased what I have found by research to be a pretty good golf club to resell on ebay and I have been asked this question buy an interested buyer? How do I answer it? I play golf but I've never had custom clubs made or anything and I am not aware of what it means other than guessing it has something to do with the angle of the club head & face?

Answer 1

it should say offset on it but if not the hosel sits foward of the face of the club somewhat, look at another wood that you know is not an offset and compare the two.An offset club helps those people who have a slice that they just can't correct with a wood.I have an off set driver because i like to hammer the ball and i tend to get a little side spin that causes the ball to slice, the offset helps correct this problem and my ball goes down the fairway and not off to the side

Answer 2

Offset just means that the clubface is behind the shaft when you set the club down like you are about to hit it. The shaft goes straight down until it gets to the hosel, then there is a little bend to the right and the clubhead is behind the shaft. I am not familiar with all the different Ping clubs so can't say for sure, buy you should be able to tell easily by looking at it.

Answer 3

Most irons and woods have faces whose sole edge follows the same line as the shaft. On the offset face, the sole of the club is set back fron the line of the shaft. Ping g2 is the model; 460 cc is the size of the driver's head and the 11.5 degrees is the loft angle of the driver face.

Answer 4

You would have to win a complete set of Nike, Callaway, Titleist, or Ping clubs. You could buy them, but they don't come in a complete set like clubs you would buy at Walmart or Target. You could get a driver, 3 & 5 wood, 3-pw, sand wedge, lob wedge, a putter and a bag from Walmart or Target in one box. You're not getting any of the manufacturers you mentioned that way. If you have the money, you could buy everything you need at one store in one day. You're talking in the neighborhood of 2000 bucks(+/-) depending on what you want. I've always bought everything separately with the exception of when I bought a complete set from a co-worker which happened to be a Ping driver, 3 and 5 wood, Mizuno irons, Mizuno sand wedge, Cleveland lob wedge, and a Titleist putter. It wasn't brand new either, but in good conditon.

Answer 5

I'm 99.9% sure the Ping G2 driver is not an offset club. The .1% uncertainty is because I do not have one if front of me right this second.

Answer 6

to keep this answer to the point, i have off set clubs and the heads are turnt in, if you sit the club down and it sits naturally, the club heads faces left, then they are off set, not straight like a normal club.

Answer 7

Have it tested by a club fitter.
