The Beautiful Looking and Well-desingned Clubs
The Beautiful Looking and Well-desingned Clubs
I have played golf for 5 years. I always choose clubs carefully. In my opinion, Ping G15 Driveris the one I love the most, for its beautiful looking and subtle design. Even if you didn't like PINGs in the past, you start to wonder, what did they come up with?After putting the driver through a full battery of tests it has certainly made an impression on me.
G15is a 460cc titanium driver meant for golfers seeking maximum forgiveness. This is where the similarities end, however.
The G15has numerous technological improvements over the G10. The G15attains a higher MOI by lengthening the head from front to back. Additionally, a 7% larger face increases ball speed and provides consistency across the entire hitting surface. Lastly, weight savings from the ultra thin crown are positioned as an external sole weight to optimize the center of gravity for higher trajectories and reduced spin.
The improvements don't end at the clubhead though. The new PING TFC 149D shaft allows for a five gram increase in head mass without increasing swingweight or overall weight. All of these seemingly small changes should result in higher ball speeds and an increase in MOI.
I would count myself among one of the many golfers who have loved the way that PINGs feel but were less than inspired by their looks (remember the PING TiSi, anyone?). With the G15, and for the first time, PING's esthetics may have matched their technology.
Although PING did not change the crown finish for the G15, there are two noticeable differences between the Ping G15 and G10 at address. First, PING abandoned the half moon alignment aid of the G10 in favor of a sleek yet subtle red arrow which first appeared on the PING Rapture. Second, lengthening the club from front to back to increase MOI makes the driver look more triangular in shape than the G10. Overall, I found the simplicity of the new look crown to be improvements over the G10.
The sole of the G15is what I would consider among PING's greatest improvements. The chrome treatment on the sole isn't new but the technical changes gave PING the ability to make significant esthetic changes. Rather than rubbing your face in the fact that there is a ton of new technology, PING's red, black and chrome paint treatment highlights the technology while remaining understated.
Esthetically, the hitting area remained nearly identical to the G10 with white groves and a v-shaped grooveless sweet spot. The only difference, for which you would have to be looking to notice, is a sightly larger face.
With a black crown, a silver, black and red sole, PING chose to continue the color scheme to their shafts. While there is a slight difference in color between the two stock shafts both shafts are shades of red and grey.
Although the word classic never came to mind when I was looking at the PING, the engineers' new appreciation of subtlety has made the PING a much cleaner and simpler looking club. Personally, I find this to be a dramatic improvement
The G15performed as advertised. It was long. It was straight. It was forgiving. But my problem with PING has never been performance.
My problem with PING equipment has always been esthetics. PING has created some clubs that only the PING man could love. The confidence that a beautiful looking club inspires in us before we hit a shot down a tight fairway can be crucial. PING never made it into my bag for that reason alone.
The G15is different though. Rather than screaming technological superiority at the world with its "interesting" designs, the G15incorporates its technological advances in a much more subtle design. The result is a driver that both performs and looks great.
In conclusion, if you have always liked PING, the G15s improved performance should be in your bag soon. If PINGs designs have always caused you to shy away, perhaps now is the time for you to take another look.
