Would You Like Ping i15 Irons?

At the start of the year I played off a 22 handicap. I was striking the ball well and reasonable straight and I decided the reason i wasnt going down was because my clubs werent good enough.

I want to say, the most prominent feature on the ping i15 irons is the tungsten weight low in the toe to add forgiveness. The bulge that houses the weight is visible at address only in the longest irons and only if you tend to lean the shaft forward a bit. The toe weight also helps to optimize the center of gravity to provide trajectories better players prefer across the set.

And the i15 was designed as a progressive set of irons. The long irons are slightly longer heel to toe for a touch of added forgiveness while the short irons are a more traditional width for better shot-making ability and control.

The i15s have grooves which conform to the 2010 groove rule, so I've got to mention something which will again become a factor in golf: the flier. The i15s are susceptible to flier lies, as I think all irons in 2010 will be, and golfers everywhere will have to learn the lost art of reading their lies. The i15s are what they are - neither better nor worse than other clubs with the "new" grooves, and I personally think having the occasional flier lie is fun.

The normal adjustments one would make for a cuppy lie - moving the ball back a smidge in your stance to ensure a bit more downward angle of attack - worked just fine with the i15s. If anything, the thicker sole and lower center of gravity helped with those lies, as you could catch golf clubs on sale golf clubs on sale a tad thin and still get a fairly normal ballflight and distance.

I had an old set of mizuno blades which were nice but not good enough. I decided to have a custom fitting and i have never really liked pings but these just felt lovely!! they have over halved my handicap to 10 and added a huge amount of distance to my game. I love the penertrating ball flight and superb distance a tad on the expensive side but well worth it.

If you're a golfer who likes to work the ball with every shot you take, these clubs may impose a bit of a ceiling on your ability to do so. However, such players are few and far between these days, particularly within the i15's target market.
