Specifications for the new G15s
The Ping G15 series is very appealing to avid golfers who are looking for an easy to hit attribute that is also accompanied by maximum forgiveness and a higher launch. The G15s are versatile and have much more control which is a big plus for most golfers. Even though it is forgiveness that is the largest desire, it’s not worth it at the expense of workability. That is what is so attractive about the G15 series; it has both.
Even though the G10 series was a very popular product the creators decided to try to improve on its features. This was no small task as golfers were already in love with the G10. But they did some weight shifting and tweaked a few design features and were able to amazingly improve on a product that was already great in the eyes of most golfers.
Features of the G15 Clubs
- Ping G15 Irons – This iron gives a high launch while sustaining maximum forgiveness. This design helps golfers maintain consistency. The new Custom Tuning Port with its stainless steel design increases the MOI. The thinner face has been totally repositioned which shifts the weight to the perimeter. This weight shift helps give more forgiveness on miss-hits. The sole is slightly wider which works toward a higher launch angle.
- Ping G15 Driver – The design of the face is elongated which increase the speed of the ball and also provides more consistency on the broad hitting surface. The shaft compensates for the 5 gram weight increase this yields higher ball speeds and better MOIs.
- Ping G15 Fairway Wood – This head’s new design is also elongated and shaped to give an MOI that is increased by about 23 percent. This yields a super forgiveness even on bad tee strikes, or from the rough or fairway.
- Ping G15 hybrid – This hybrid is specifically engineered to give a high launching ball and to be very forgiving on the long as well as mid irons. The internal toe pad has been expanded and the weight redistributed out to the perimeter. This redesign is one of the most forgiving of all Ping’s designs. The center of gravity is positioned closer to the face help increase the angle of launch while also reducing spin.
Review of the G15 Clubs
Overall the G15 continues to get rave reviews. Most really did not feel that the G10 series could be improved upon. But Ping designers went to work to see if they could do some elongating and weight shifting to create a club with even more forgiveness than the previous popular models. Overall it is noted that they succeeded in this mission.
The weight distribution changed the center of gravity on the clubs placing it nearer to the golf club face. This allows more weight to be at the bottom of the club without having to give up any swing speed. This helps not only with the trajectory but also with the spin of the ball.
The aesthetic appeal is much greater with the new G15s than with previous clubs. Actually, the laughable thing about Ping’s design before was how ugly they were. But the new design makes all that stop. It is sleek and makes a statement of quality.
What makes the Ping G15 golf clubs so popular is that the manufacturers are constantly looking at new innovative design ideas but refusing to compromise on their reliable design. This reliability is what stands out to golfers and why they choose Ping for their golf clubs so much of the time.
Most rave about the improved control and how straight their shots have become since using the latest developments from Ping.
