Ping G15 Black Dot Irons 3-9WS Review

    Ping G15 Irons can provide high trajectory, high forgiveness and stability. With cavity stainless steel clubhead and all new weight ports design, Ping G15 enlarges perimeter weight to enhance the moment of inertia. The face design positions saved weight to the toe for more forgiveness and higher trajectory. Ping G15 Black Dot Irons adopts smaller face angle for increased distance. The center of gravity location is designed lower and further from clubface, ensuring both high launch angle and high forgiveness. The sole is designed wider to provide lower and more back-moved CG for high launch angel and increased landing distance. Wide sole can ensure smoother roll on greens at impact. The weight ports of G15 Irons have been redesigned, which saves 7g weight. This saved weight is distributed to head perimeter to increase MOI. Better distance control and solider hitting feel can be achieved through a new design. This new design provides better back frame to support the thin clubface, ensuring consistent stroke effect and solid hitting feel.

    Ping G15 Irons are Ping’s new cavity forged irons with exceptional performance and are game improving. According to Ping golf design head Brad Schweigert, G15 are irons which can increase scores. They have great forgiveness and are easy to hit high trajectory. The entirely new cavity design of G15 decreases face and head top weight by 15g. The saved weight is moved to sole and toe, providing low and deep center of gravity for high MOI to ensure solid hitting feel and stable distance control that many golfers demand. Besides of forgiveness and solid hitting feel, compared with G10 irons, G15 irons have another improvement that the hitting distance is added nearly by five yards.

G15 Hybrid Discussions

The compact shape of the Ping g15hybrid's 17-4 stainless steel head is much shorter in length (from face to back) than most other fairway wood-inspired hybrids. Instead, think of this Ping g15 hybrid as being more like a driving iron, similar to the hybrids made popular by Adams. The intention of this design is to make the player set up to hit this Ping g15 hybrid the same way they would with a regular iron.

Perimeter weighting is provided by a large internal toe pad in order to provide forgiveness and assists in locating the center of gravity low and close to the face for a high launch and low spin. In fact, PING is calling the Ping g15 hybrid their longest and most forgiving hybrid to date, thanks to the previously mentioned toe pad.

Though the Ping g15 hybrid as mentioned did have a look very similar to an iron at address, it's still an extremely easy club to hit.

It's as if that no matter what part of the Ping g15 hybrid face makes contact with the golf ball, the gold ball will fly straight. The head just stays so solid and firm at impact, very little distance or accuracy is lost on miss-hits.

It's sometimes hard to tell, but there is a slight difference in the feel you get when you catch a shot off the toe or the heel for instance, as opposed to the centre of the face. So you do still know when you haven't caught a shot just right, even if it looks fine in the air.

Getting the ball up and airborne with the Ping g15 hybrid is almost as easy as it's going to get in this type of club. Whether it's off the tee or the deck, the 23 degree model tested got the golf ball up so quickly almost every time, with a resultant soft landing as well.

Ping g15 hybrid Discussion

Hit my G15 17 degree with TFC 149 stiff today for the first time on the range. I was really impressed. SUPER Long, straight, and very forgiving of mishit is my first impression. I hit my long irons very well so this is the hybrid I have been waiting for. More to say later after i compare it with my TM 09 TP Rescue 17 degree. 

I love the new Ping g15 hybrid! I was at Ping last week trying the new stuff and at first glance was thinking, no thanks. My fitter said to at least try them, and wow are they solid and easy to hit. I was hitting them higher, straighter and further than the i15 hybrids....I still thought I wanted the i15, but after sleeping on it and looking at the G again; I decided I could get the 20 and 23 degree with the X flex Serrano shaft. 

Mizuno MX700 Driver VS Ping G15 Driver

The available lofts:

MX 700 : The lofts available are 9.5, 10.5 and 12 degrees, With only the 9.5 and 10.5 degree models being available in right and left hand.

G15: The available lofts for the G15 Driver are 9, 10.5, 12, and 13.5 degrees.

Look:

MX 700: the head is a nice size not being too big or small, hot face, and the overall weight of the club is also just about perfect. It does feel good when you first stand over the ball with this Driver.

G15: With its 460cc titanium head, it must be one of the toughest and most durable Driver that is available on the market. The club-head sits behind the ball very well and it looks like a strong Driver, that can't help giving you a confident feeling.

Sound:

In the Mizuno MX700, there is just a solid thumping sound that you can't help but grow to love. There aren't many Drivers around that make a nicer sound at impact than this one. There isn't really much negative to be said about this model from Mizuno. Compared with G15, MX700 makes testers more hot and sound great!

Distance:

In terms of the distance that you can get, this was probably the longest Mizuno Driver we've played, despite the rather high trajectory that can often be produced. Most players will probably find the Mizuno MX700 around 20 yards further than the MX500 and the MX560 drivers on average, though overall it's still not quite as long as some other Drivers that are available today. Compared with the MX700, G15 owns longer and straighter. And this impressive distance is still there even when this club isn't hit that well. If you have a slightly inconsistent swing, you can still hit consistently long with the G15.

Feature:

Some testers found the MX700 to be surprisingly low spinning. For many golfers, keeping their spin down is always the greatest challenge, but that was not even an issue with the Mizuno. The launch angle was good, and so does the dispersion. And the price of the MX700 is cheaper than the G15.

Ping G15 Series

Are you a G-Man or an i-guy? Ping offers two drivers -ping g15 driver - for different preferences and skill levels. The G15 is an easy-to-hit, high-launch, lower-spin version of 2008's successful G10 driver. What's improved is the rearward weighting that helps get the ball airborne very easily. The i15 has an internal fade bias as well as lower spin and a hosel that is farther from the face. That means greater workability for lower-handicap golfers. Ping G15 Hybrid was as easy a driver to get off the tee as I recall ever hitting. An elongated face provides a sweet spot that covers the mi****s of most golfers. Heel and toe hits were not greatly penalized and most of my tee shots ended up in the short grass with only a small loss of distance on mi****s. If you have a tendancy to be inconsistent off the tee, Ping G15 Irons should be just the ticket. I found the stock shaft to be well-balanced and matched up well with additional weight Ping has put into the head of the G15. The only concern might be that the ball could launch too high. However, Ping has lowered the spin rate of the head, which provided some extra roll, I found.While it was easy being the G-Man, I wondered if I had what it takes to be the "i-guy." As a mid-handicapper, I was a bit concerned that the imposing look of the titanium-carbon head would prove to be for accomplished golfers only. The result? Wow! The sound was a solid, pleasing "thwack." The trajectory was a well-behaved bomb. I recruited a low-handicap golfer in my foursome who was easily able to work the ball both directions. He also commented positively about the pleasing launch trajectory as well as the solid sound - something that can't be overlooked.
