It was hard to see how Ping could add a set to their range that was more forgiving than the G15. But the Ping K15 Irons achieve this with enormous heads and extremely wide soles that combine to produce hybrid-like performance. The heads are so big that they even make it easy to line up at the intended target. These will prove a godsend for anyone who struggles to get the ball airborne. The ball flies so high that is also stops extremely quickly.
Without switching to an all-out hybrid set these are as forgiving as it gets. The weighting in the head produces a towering flight.
We felt that the G15 irons were difficult to hit off tight lies and this is even more the case here. The cavity is so large it can be seen at address in the long clubs.

The Ping K15 Irons, developed of course by PING, one of the premier golf club manufacturers in the world, were brought to us as a new set of maximum game-improvement irons. Most of the people I play with regularly are avid golfers, but some of them are getting up there in years and they're looking for clubs that will help them hit the ball higher and longer while still being forgiving. They've been talking about these clubs since they came out in 2010, and the people who have bought them seem to love them. Because of all the favorable buzz and reviews about the Ping K15 Irons, I decided to take them out for a test drive.
Even though I'm not a huge fan of the hybrids in this Ping K15 Irons set, I think they are much more than adequate for the task at hand. The irons are very nice indeed, and hit wonderfully. Now if you are a beginner or a chronic slicer you will love the hybrids in this Ping K15 Irons set. They just run with a little too much offset for my personal taste, and that can lead to some nasty pull-hooks for a converted lefty like me. These Ping K15 Irons are exceptionally well built, as long as anything else out there, and for once--Ping is giving Adams a real run for their money in the Forgiveness department, while beating them in the distance game. (The distance claim is for irons only--the Adams hybrids are definitely the longer in that category.) If you are a beginner or high capper and in the market for irons--these deserve more than just a cursory glance. I'd like to thank my CL Abraham for getting me the links that made this review possible.
