Ping G15 Driver: Innovative and Stylish
The Ping G15 golf driver is one of the best drivers for maximum game improvement. Its innovative design is forgiving of errors aesthetically pleasing.
The G15 has a new design that will be appealing to most golfers. It’s lightweight graphite shaft allows for more weight in the head without creating a heavy or off-balance swing. The head of the club has been slightly elongated from front to back. However, since the crown is made of ultra-thin material the G15′s head is actually 6 grams lighter than the G1. Because of this weight savings in the crown and shaft, Ping was able to add a sole weight to the bottom of the club, improving center of gravity and decreasing spin.
The face of the G15 is redesigned for maximum game improvement as well. The face of the club head is 7% larger than the Ping G10. The larger face gives more contact with the ball, while the elongated head makes for a higher MOI which adds up to a very forgiving club. Indeed, according to Ping, there is a 2 mph increase on balls hit off-center with the G15, compared to the G10. This stable club head is one of the greatest strengths of the Ping G15. It leads to lower spin and greater ball trajectory. It gives the ball a flat flight, that does not balloon.
Visually Satisfying
Visually, the Ping G15 is a club no one will be embarrassed to bring to the range. The crown has subtle, stylish red arrow that helps with positioning. Other than that the crown is a glossy black, with no distracting designs. The understated crown gives the Ping G15 a classy, elegant look. On the sole of the G15 are chrome designs highlighting the technology used in the G15. The face of the driver is as others in the line, with white grooves in the off center areas and a sweet spot with no grooves in it.
