Creating a great iron takes the right balance of forgiveness and playability. Depending on the target audience depends on how those factors are balanced out. Typically when you go down the "game-improvement" iron road, it means big offset, wide soles, draw biased irons. But there are some irons in the golfclubs365 that are well balanced.
The design of the Ping G15 irons created more perimeter weighting than previous G lines. The weight comes from a thinner more explosive face. The 7grams of weight taken from the face are put out on the toe and a Custom Tuning Port (which might just seem like a medallion is much more than that) behind the sweetspot. The look is a little bit much with such a busy cavity, but the new colors are great. Black and Red really look nice on the brushed dark stainless head.
The grooves of the Ping G15 irons are now USGA conforming to the 2010 new rules of competition. While 99% of golfers don't need to be conforming until 2024, Ping is getting their followers ready with their new irons. I would really be surprised if the target audience of the G15 irons will be able to tell any difference.
The big feature of the Ping G15 irons has to be the forgiveness. They are said to be one of the most forgiving iron they have made. I would say that is probably true. The whole face was hot and the sweet spot was huge. The generous off-set helped square up the face at impact for the average golfer, but Ping balanced that off-set with that huge weight in the toe. That addition weight used for swingweighting in the hosel will balance out that toe weight for one of the straightest easiest hitting irons you can buy in any golf shop.

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.
