Ping G15 Irons

When you are setting up to a "classic" iron, what kinds of thoughts run through your mind? For me, I imagine the silky smooth feel of the sweet spot. I visualize the ball curving through the air at will. I can almost see the ball falling to the green with just enough spin to bounce twice and then stop. However, put a blade in another player's hands and the reaction could be entirely different. They might look down desperately searching for that microscopic sweet spot, trembling at the thought of the painful reverberations of a mis-hit.

Ping’s Reputation

Ping has been putting out great equipment for decades and they are showing no decline in quality or precision.

·         Overall rating – playability of the ping irons rated 4 ½ out of a possible 5 stars; durability, great value, easy to use and high quality all go into these irons and have been described as a beginners dream by some reviewers

·         Specs – these clubs were specially designed for mid to high handicappers with an ID8 grip by Ping; steel or graphite shafts; cast iron construction; stainless steel iron face; cavity iron back; and come in irons #9 down through #3 and PW

·         Technology – Ping G15 Irons offer reliable consistency to most any golfer with maximum forgiveness provided by the technology of a higher launching system

·         Balance – playability and performance are the two main factors in the Ping G15 irons

·         Feel – these irons rated 4 ½ out of 5 stars; these irons cut through the air like a hot knife through butter; one reviewer described in the feeling of his swing now as ‘smooth as silk’; it feels like the ball is literally exploding off of the face of the iron.

These irons make the most out of miss hits and will make a lot of friends with higher handicappers. There will be some that will pass over these irons because of their looks. The club features a large sole, thick top line and extreme perimeter weighting. If players can get over the "bulk" factor, they're in for a real treat.

There were some players that felt the thicker sole made the shorter irons more difficult to use off tight lies and sand. This is a very valid point... and more the reason to take these to the course and demo them. It's important to note your typical playing conditions when searching for irons. You'll also want to try these on a launch monitor. They're designed to hit the ball high and you want to make sure your launch angle is optimized. Looking for a forgiving iron that hits the ball high? Make sure these are on your list.
