G15 Irons Discussions

The Ping G15 Irons are a fairly new addition to the iron market, being an update of their G10 predecessors. They are designed mainly to be a game improvement club that's easy to hit, and very forgiving.

Like its predecessor, the Ping G15 Irons is an oversized iron designed for players seeking maximum forgiveness. However, several changes have been made which PING believes should make the club even more forgiving.

The epicenter of the Ping G15 Irons technological advances is the new Custom Tuning Port ("CTP"). While the G10 had a CTP, PING engineers reshaped and repositioned the CTP to save seven grams. The weight savings of a thinner face allowed the engineers move weight to the perimeter - particularly the toe - to improve forgiveness for off-center hits as well as increase MOI. PING believes that these changes provide the proper structure and support to ensure distance control and solid feel.

It really is very difficult to send an approach shot offline with these clubs, whether it's a good swing or a bad swing that you've made.
With regards to distance, we found that the Ping G15 Irons were far superior to the earlier G10s. While the G10 irons could quite often give you about 10 yards less than you'd expect in each club, even on decent strikes. The Ping G15 Irons seem to generally give about 10 yards more for each club instead.
The sound at impact when you catch the ball well is very crisp and solid, and it's not too bad when you don't catch the ball that well either. You just hardly ever get that horrible stingy feedback that some iron sets can give.

From 130 yards and in, even higher handicappers should become more confident playing approach shots with the Ping G15 Irons. Along with the fantastic accuracy, the Ping G15 Irons also help produce a reasonable amount of spin on the ball, similar to the G10s. So if you land the ball on the green with these irons, odds are it'll be a soft landing and you'll stay there.
To look at them as a whole, the new Ping G15 Irons from Ping quite simply are an exceptional addition to the market. In our opinion even good players could benefit from these Ping G15 Irons, not just mid to higher handicappers. These clubs are that good that we'd recommend the Ping G15 Irons to any player to try out.
