The 2009 Ping G15 Irons are a very new addition to the iron market, being an update of their G10 predecessors. They are designed mainly to be a game improvement club that's easy to hit and very forgiving.
In terms of forgiveness, the performance of the Ping G15 irons was very impressive. Off the fairway the clubs were so accurate, and the golf ball always held its line very well once airbourne. Anyone who has trouble hitting enough greens in regulation could certainly see some benefit in using these irons.
It really is very difficult to send an approach shot offline with these clubs, whether it's a good swing or a bad swing that you've made.
With regards to distance, we found that the ping g15 irons were far superior to the earlier G10s. While the G10 irons could quite often give you about 10 yards less than you'd expect in each club, even on decent strikes. The G15s seem to generally give about 10 yards more for each club instead.
The sound at impact when you catch the ball well is very crisp and solid, and it's not too bad when you don't cach the ball that well either. You just hardly ever get that horrible stingy feedback that some iron sets can give.
From 130 yards and in, even higher handicappers should become more confident playing approach shots with the G15 irons. Along with the fantastic accuracy, the G15s also help produce a reasonable amount of spin on the ball, similar to the G10s. So if you land the ball on the green with these irons, odds are it'll be a soft landing and you'll stay there.
To look at them as a whole, the new G15 Irons from Ping quite simply are an exceptional addition to the golf clubs for sale market. In our opinion even good players could benefit from these clubs, not just mid to higher handicappers. These clubs are that good that we'd recommend the G15s to any player to try out.
They are a little pricey just now but aren't bad value when you consider what they can give you in terms of performance.

I purchased these to have something more forgiving since I was playing Ping I3 blades. Since I don't play as often I decided to buy something that would dampen mishit. I have a personal driving range and I found that my swing fault followed me, go figure :) Anyway, my 1st round was a disaster, but it wasn't the clubs. After the disaster I practiced all week with them, along with a major revision in my setup and shot 73 in my second round with them. So, they were redeemed. One thing I've noticed is that the offset is hidden well in the design of the club. I have never cared for offset, but it's almost invisible in this club. They feel really good in my hands and the thicker sole from the Ping's now seem normal.
