Ping G15 Technology

The Ping 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.

This is an interesting piece of golf equipment. Why? At the first glance the Ping G15 Driver appears to be a traditionally shaped, large head driver of 460cc. However, upon closer inspection one can make out the triangular geometry of the discount golf club head. The club head of Ping G15 Driver is finished in a dark color that is very subtle and does not distract you at address or during your swing. The crown of the club is set with the trademark ping alignment aid, a reversed crescent moon. Again, nothing distracting about this, the alignment aid is a dark gray that does not stand out significantly, just enough that you can easily align the ball and club face.

For those of you who are bothered by offset and draw bias in a discount golf club, you will be happy to know that the Ping G15 Driverup pretty neutral and looks quite square at address. There is a draw bias version of the Ping G15 Driver for those of you looking to help ease a slice. That particular model offers up a slightly more pronounced offset. The standard G15 Driver, on the other hand, will look quite pleasing to a golfer who naturally hits a draw. No worries about having to hold off the release to avoid those big hooks!

"The Ping G15 Driver is very similar to the previous G10 driver. It features a mid to high launch tendency due to the weight distribution in the head. Word from the course has it that loft/shaft combinations need to be watched carefully because of the higher flight tendancies. The 460 head still provides a good measure of forgiveness, and with the correct shaft match for swing dynamics, distance is excellent. Toe and heel mishits gear back well, sound is pleasing, not harsh like some Clevelands and Cobras, but solid sounding. Compares very well with Titleist 909 D2 series, Callaway FT-9, and Taylor Made R9 460, the only negative is Ping G15 Driver does produce higher spin rates which have a negative impact on overall distance. That's where shafting helps out. Pricing is not over the top, and the Ping G15 Driver is a good driver for any player."

About Ping G15 Irons

The technology of the G15 Irons provides the high-launching, maximum forgiveness benefits that the majority of golfers rely on to bring consistency to their iron play. The stainless steel iron’s cavity design features a new Custom Tuning Port (CTP) which expands the perimeter weighting and increases the moment of inertia. Weight savings from a thinner face is re-positioned to the toe for added forgiveness on mis-hits and its wider sole produces a higher launch angle. Stronger lofts combine with a center of gravity located low and farther from the face to produce longer shots without sacrificing the higher trajectory required in a maximum forgiveness iron.
