Ping K15 Fairway Woods Review

Ping launched the new K15 Fairway woods to accompany the K15 irons, hybrids and driver. Ping K15 Fairway Wood features a larger clubhead design that has placed the mass of the club away from the club face to help increase the moment of inertia (MOI) and lower and deepen the centre of gravity (CG) to provide a dynamic loft at impact that produces a higher trajectory. The same as the driver, K15 Fairway wood adopted Ping’s patented pending Straight Flight Technology (SF Tec) which places 6% of the clubhead mass towards the heel of the club with an external weight pad. This promotes a natural clubhead rotation through impact while the innovative design means the external sole weight pad is barely visible at address. You will achieve maximum forgiveness with this SFT which makes Ping K15 Fairway Wood versatile enough to play from the fairway or light rough. The key to Ping K15 Fairway Wood's appeal is its extremely shallow face height, which not only makes it easy to hit from tight lies, equally as important, it makes it look easy to do just that.

Ping K15 Fairway Wood has been designed with a low profile that offers both a pleasing look at address and a larger hitting surface for extra forgiveness, clean contact and a higher trajectory. Using lightweight materials, the Ping K15 Fairway Wood offers progressive weight, flex and torsion profiles. This increases clubhead speeds to promote maximum distance and superior control, consistency and feel. If you are struggling with fairways, this K15 is the ideal choice for you. The oversized head along with a longer, deeper face, the Ping K15 Fairway Wood provides excellent levels of forgiveness. Since its clubhead is larger than standard, it has a great zing sound at impact and the feel is also very good. 

The flight is a little bit higher than that offered by G15 fairway wood, but not much and as long as you are not playing in windy conditions. The SF Tec (Straight Flight Technology) ‘bulge’ on the heel side of the sole is subtle and helps to turn the club over at impact to reduce the likelihood of a fade. Overall, Ping K15 Fairway Wood is a great wood for high handicappers, but it is also suitable for golfers of mid-handicaps.
