Little while back we had a look at the PING i15 iron set, and really loved the blend of forgiveness and workability in a form factor that is pleasing to the eye of the better golfer. Today we are going to have a look at PING‘s latest entry in the Super Game Improvement arena, the Ping G15 Irons. The PING G series of irons has been well respected for a number of years now, I still vividly remember the first time I picked up a G5 3 iron, my first swing launched the ball into the stratosphere and seemed to carry on forever. I had a brief love affair with the G10 irons and over the past few months have been trying to decide if the latest Ping G15 Irons could kick the i15 irons out of my bag.
Company line: "The club's 'floating' Custom Tuning Port (CTP) moves more mass to the perimeter and increases MOI. Weight removed from the thin, light clubface is redistributed to the toe for added forgiveness. A wider sole contributes to higher launching shots. Stronger lofts (and the low, deep center of gravity) should lead to longer shots."
Our Testers say:
PROS: One of the top irons tested in its class; reliable, so simple-to-hit, forgiving and accurate; tight dispersion, no shot ever goes too far from its intended line; some testers find it to be longer, on average, than their current irons; straight-hitting sticks; handles shots from rough with style; produces repeatable distance (on mis-hits, too) and predictable high, straight ball flight.

CONS: Wide-ish sole and offset require an adjustment period; center hits and mis-hits feel too similar for some panelists; a few testers prefer a bit more shot making ability.
Ping G15 Irons help golfers with their superior designs, technology, materials and workmanship. The oversized club heads, made of high quality investment cast 17-4 stainless steel, feature a redesigned "Custom Tuning Port" to provide enhanced feel, increased perimeter weighting and a higher moment of inertia. Additional weight has been placed at the toe and around the perimeter to provide increased forgiveness on off-center hits, and the Ping G15 Irons wider soles and lowered, rearward-placed center of gravity combine to help to produce higher trajectories. The lofts have also been strengthened by one degree from predecessor sets like the PING G10 irons, and you can probably expect to hit a six-iron (for example) three to five yards longer (as well as higher) than the six-iron you're using now.
