The latest in Ping's G range of clubs the Ping G15 driver updates the technology that made the G10 driver the market leader. Like its predecessor the G15 has titanium head which reaches the 460CC maximum limit on headsize. To increase the moment of inertia or MOI the G15 has an elongated head from back to front which has lead to an improvement in MOI. This works in tandem with the G15 driver's 7% larger clubface to give more stability and forgiveness, even on those occasional off centre hits. The G15 also feature's Ping's ultra thin crown technology which reduces the weight of the top of the clubhead by six grams and redistributes the weight to the external sole weight pad which helps to move the centre of gravity lower and further back in the clubhead meaning that the G15 can provide golfers with the optimal trajectory of high launch combined with a low spin rate to help both carry and roll. The Ping G15 driver comes with either the TFC 149D or Aldila Serrano 60 Shaft.
Far from resting on their laurels Ping have managed to improve the new G15 driver with some excellent new developments. As big fans of the G10 version we couldn't wait to see the Ping G15 driver on the range to see if the changes had had the desired affect and we weren't disappointed. At address you can see the G15's longer head design and it looks great with the new alignment aid first used in the Rapture wood and which thankfully replaces the moon graphic from previous G drivers. The feel and forgiveness of the Ping G15 is excellent and the club feels a little more alive and more explosive than the G10. Ping's G10 driver is a worthy successor to the G10 and it has certainly raised the bar.
Absolutely fabulous piece of kit. Went to American golf as I was getting too much of a high launch with my driver (Taylor Made Burner Superfast) to get fitted for a new driver. After them telling me I didn't need to change and disagreeing wiith the "pro" I went to Nevada Bobs, what a difference. They gave me 7 different drivers to try out on their accurate machine. After hitting all of them I went back to the PING G15. I was consistantly hitting a great shape drive with a good launch angle. This driver was around 20-30 yards consistantly longer for me than the Burner and even more against other current drivers too. Definately worth a go, but avoid cardiff american golf as the machine in there is rubbish and will not give you the best read outs!!!
