Super Forgiveness Ping G15 Irons Review

Ping unveiled the G15 model this year and so far the response has been extremely positive. The new Ping G15 irons is part of the clamour made by golfing enthusiasts that claim this iron to be a very good addition to an already popular trademark. They are not the best looking in the golf shop, but one of the best choices for average players.

 

The G15's design 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 G15 line 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. On shots hit from the fairway I found very little difference while shots out of the rough there was marginal differences at best. I would really be surprised if the target audience of the Ping G15 irons will be able to tell any difference.

 

The big feature of the G15 line has to be the forgiveness. They are said to be one of the most forgiving iron they have made. 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.

 

I believe that these irons will attract a lot of converts and will be Ping's hottest irons in any golf shop. While you will not see the Ping G15 irons in the bags of any tour professionals or many lower handicappers, this is a club that any player seeking maximum forgiveness should seriously consider.
