PING G15 Fairway Wood
cThe draw version has an off-set hosel and extra weight in the heel to help the face close at impact. The flex profile and torque values of the stock TFC 149F shaft are progressive to match each flex.
PLAYER COMMENTS:
(L) "The alignment aid really helps you put the ball in the center of the face, (PING G15 Driver)and it doesn't look too busy."
(M) "I have a sense at address that this club stays flatter to the ground than others. Jumps off the face."
(H) "It looks very functional without being overwhelming. The weight of it in my hands seemed to help me straighten out my swing."
HOT: A high-handicap-friendly design with the solid feel and trajectory control of a players wood. The 17-degree 4-wood should be the new 3-wood for nearly all golfers.
NOT: We wish it came in a 9-wood. TAYLORMADE R9/R9 TP Fairway Wood TECH TALK: This compact yet high-MOI steel head has a pull-face construction that reduces weld lines. Additional weight has been moved to the rear sole thanks to the 0.6-millimeter cast walls. An adjustable hosel allows players to change the lie and loft/face angle to eight settings for a custom trajectory. Both models come with a Fujikura Motore shaft.
PLAYER COMMENTS:
(L) "It sits flush on the ground. The muted triangle shape is perfect."
(M) "Just awesome that you can tweak the lie angle."
(H) "It's like a snazzy European sports car: good in looks and performance, but don't let a part break or you're going to pay." "They're able to hide the technology in a traditional shape."
HOT: TaylorMade is known for having perfected the sound and feel of a metal wood.(Taylormade Burner Superfast Fairway Wood) Making an adjustable hosel nearly invisible on a fairway wood is a neat trick.
NOT: The adjustable feature is a great custom-fitting tool, but let a pro help you.
