Already this season we’ve reviewed both the K15 Driver, and the K15 Fairway wood. Both were well received by our testers, many of whom told us that they didn’t care whether or not they were designed for game improvement, they just really liked the clubs. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the numbers, especially with the fairway woods, were quite simply HUGE.
Many golfers may already be familiar with PINGs G15 irons, or even the forthcoming G20 irons. As forgiving as those irons are, the Ping K15 Irons are actually designed to be even more forgiving. To be sure, with broad soles, thick topline, and generous offset, they certainly look the part of a super game-improvement iron.
It's always something of a thrill to get your hands on a new set of clubs and particularly so when they come from Ping.
Having used my current set of irons for some time now - foolishly purchased for their sleek aesthetics rather than ease of use, a fatal mistake for any mid-high handicapper - it was a genuine pleasure to use the new Ping K15 Irons.
The Ping K15 Irons wide sole enables the clubs to sit comfortably behind the ball, almost positioning and aligning them, and it wasn't long before I was struck with the realization of how easy they are to use.
At no point did I feel the need to force shots, such was the ease in getting the ball airborne without any loss of distance, and as a result I was swinging easier and more consistently.
Their chunky design and dark grey finish won't be to everyone's taste, but if they consistently send the ball where you want it to go I don't think anyone would complain.
I also got a chance to try out a No.4 hybrid which on first impressions makes you think that the unusual shape and design shouldn't be used for hitting a golf ball.
In practice though, given the option of using a traditional long iron or this club I'm all for change.
Easy to set up, solid off the face and out of the rough far easier to use, another eye opener for preconceptions.
The clubs are classed as 'game improver' and I would defy anybody not to improve their game using them. They simply make a difficult and frustrating sport easier and as a result more enjoyable to play.
