Ping G15 Driver
This has got to be Ping's most "solid" entry into the driver market in some time. I don't use the word solid lightly either. Everything about this driver seems to fit that word. The technology is solid. The distance is solid. The feel at impact is solid. When one considers the price--it is also a solid value. Driver's of this feel and quality usually hit the market with a rock solid value. I was very fortunate in the sense that I got to try these this weekend with both shafts, just previous to this Monday's release to the general public. This driver truly caps off the series that began a while back with the G2 Drver. The G 15 Driver takes everything that Ping has developed in this line, and taken it to it's highest level. Perhaps Ping will issue a G 20 in a few years, but I tend to think that this particular model is the top end of that series, and that it will require an entirely new design as this driver represents everything that the "G" Lineage has to offer.
This is definitely Ping's best effort in some time. I love the Rapture, but it doesn't quite have the feel of this one. The G 10 was a very good driver, but the TFC Shaft on that model didn't have the kick and feel of this driver. In a word--"Solid." What a great driver this thing is. I think dollar for dollar, Ping has finally come up with the first true challenger to the TaylorMade line since the old TiSi Tech. The standard version comes in 9, 10.5. 12. and 13.5* Models. You can get more variations on the I-15 and G 15 Draw Models. Just know, that if you are currently in the market for an $299 off the rack driver--this one deserves a very serious look.
