Ping has always been a pioneer of top quality driving clubs and its latest versions, launched this week are no exception. We've been getting our first impressions of the new Ping G15 driver
Specifications:
The 460cc titanium head has a larger face than its predecessor and is longer front to back than the G10. It features Ping's ultra thin crown enabling an external sole weight to lower the centre of gravity and deliver higher trajectories and reduced spin. The Ping-designed TFC149D high balance point shaft also helps claim higher ball speeds and less twisting at impact. It's available in four lofts ( 9, 10.5, 12 and 13.5 degrees), three draw versions ( 9, 10.5 and 12) and upto four flexes.
Looks:
Both the Ping G15 and its Ping i15 brother might be 460cc and conform to all the laws of the game but that is where the similarity ends. The Ping G15 driver is longer and wider. Although having a face that is seven per-cent larger than the G10 doesn't sound a lot, there is just so much to aim at. At address is sits beautifully behind the ball, although not perfectly square because there are so many options (four lofts, three draw options) that you can easily choose a model that suits your eye.
Feel/performance:
I was particularly taken with the 10.5 draw version of the Ping G15, which while being quite offset was so easy to hit on a nice, high ball arc. The noise has been tuned a bit as well, the result being a satisfying crack as the ball literally pings off the face.
Ping says its new G15 driver - already creating scoring history in the bag of Mark Calcavecchia, who fired a Tour-record nine successive birdies in the recent Canadian Open - has been engineered for golfers seeking maximum forgiveness as well as distance and accuracy.

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.
