The ping g15 Series appeals to the majority of golfers who rely on the easier-to-hit attributes of a maximum forgiveness, higher launch type of club.
Ping G15 Driver
The G15 driver is engineered for golfers seeking a maximum forgiveness driver that delivers distance and accuracy. Its 460cc titanium head is longer front to back and features PING's patented ultra thin crown technology. Weight savings from the thin crown are positioned as an external sole weight to optimize the center of gravity for higher trajectories and reduced spin.
The club features a large face but the head still manages to look sleek in design with a simple to use alignment aid. Rather than this being a one-off fluke, results were consistent and off-centre hits were more forgiving than I'm unaccustomed to.
A self-confessed short-hitter, Matt was looking to see if he could add some crucial yards to his drives with the ping g15 driver and was pleased to find himself hitting shorter irons into par-fours than he is used to.
Ping G15 Irons
The new ping g15 irons from Ping have been designed with the game improver in mind. Like the Rapture V2's, they offer maximum forgiveness but are a subtler proposition aesthetically. Released to supersede the G10 range they feature a wide sole which enables them to sit comfortably behind the ball and a large offset which positions the hands forwards.
This provides those who may have trouble getting the ball airborne with a confident feeling that this can be achieved and this indeed proved to be the case. There was consistent feel throughout the irons and those shots that came out of the toe due to a dodgy swing still managed to make their way airborne and carry over a forgiving distance. One pleasant surprise was that during the backswing the club head felt weighted in such a way that I was aware of its position and so found it easier to control my current golfing curse, the over-swing.
Ping have released another winner, one that the mid- to high-handicapper will love, and although there are never any guarantees that a new set of irons will reduce your handicap I believe that these clubs will provide you with a very good chance of doing so.
Throughout the range the clubs inspire confidence at address and the consistent and forgiving results can only enhance this.
The clubs are simple to use, easy to get airborne and the unfussy designs and classy red and black colour scheme remove any unwanted complications from the thought process.
