AUG. 3, 2009 - Ping Golf staged its largest product launch ever with the introduction of two lines of clubs, called the G15 and the i15, each of which includes drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons. On the following pages you'll find photos of each new model from the two lines, plus a little info about each. Keep in mind that the Ping G15 series is aimed at golfers seeking maximum forgiveness and high-launch attributes; the i15 series is aimed at golfers who want more workability.
All clubs in the G15 and i15 series debut at retail in mid-August, 2009. More general details about the series are available on the final page of this product tour.
The Ping G15 driver comes in four standard lofts (9 degrees, 10.5, 12 and 13.5), plus three lofts in a draw version (9, 10.5 and 12). Stock shafts are the Ping-designed TFC149D and the Aldila Serrano. 
The Ping G15 driver is longer front-to-back, with an ultra-thin crown. An external sole weight helps lower the center of gravity and engineer higher launch properties.
The Ping i15 driver is fade-biased (designed with an open face angle) with a traditional pear-shaped clubhead. Internal weighting properties are designed to reduce spin, and the hosel is slightly set back from the clubhead to promote better control and tour-preferred trajectories. The i15 driver is sometimes referred to as the "Black Beauty" because of its dark, titanium carbon finish.
The Ping i15 driver is available in lofts of 8, 9.5 and 11 degrees. The stock shafts are the Ping-designed TFC700D and the UST AXIVcore Tour Red 69. The MSRP is $405.
The Ping G15 fairway woods have an elongated face (toe to heel) and a low profile in their stainless steel heads, with an external weight pad in the sole to help target a higher trajectory and increased forgiveness.
Four lofts are available in the standard model: 3-wood (15.5 degrees), 4-wood (17), 5-wood (18.5) and 7-wood (21.5). A draw model is also available in lofts of 15.5, 17 and 18.5 degrees.
The stock shafts are the Ping-designed TFC149F and the Aldila Serrano.
The Ping i15 fairway woods feature low-profile stainless steel clubheads, slightly elongated from heel to toe, and designed for better players seeking workability from a variety of playing conditions. Internal weighting is engineered to decrease spin and produce a lower, more penetrating ball flight.
Available models are the 3-wood (14 degrees loft), 3+ (15.5) and 5-wood (18.5). Stock shafts are the Ping-designed TFC700F and the UST Mamiya AXIVcore Tour Red 79.

The stock shafts are the Ping-designed TFC149F and the Aldila Serrano.
The Ping G15 hybrids are, the company says, its most forgiving and longest hybrid to date. A large, internal weight pad in the toe bumps up the clubs' perimeter weighting.
The clubheads are stainless steel with an iron-style face, and the hosel design is engineered to move the center of gravity closer to the face.
The Ping G15 hybrids are available in five lofts: 17 degrees, 20, 23, 27 and 31. The stock shafts are the Ping-designed AWT steel shaft, the Ping-designed TFC149H graphite shaft, and the Aldila Serrano graphite.
Better players might prefers hybrids of a traditional shape and size, and that's what the Ping i15 hybrids are. The are designed to offer a high MOI but with a tour-preferred more boring trajectory.
Lofts are 17, 20 and 23 degrees. Stock shafts are the Ping-designed AWT steel, the Ping-designed TFC700H graphite, and the UST Mamiya AXIVcore Tour Red 85 Hybrid graphite. The
The Ping G15 irons come in 3-9, plus pitching wedge, U-wedge (gap wedge), sand wedge and lob wedge. The are available in steel shafts (stock: Ping AWT) and graphite shafts ((TFC 149i).
These are the high-MOI, high-launch game improvement irons in the arsenal of Ping's new club series. Stainless steel clubheads incorporate "custom tuning ports" (CTP) in the cavity backs, increasing the perimeter weighting. A thinner clubface allows more weight to be moved to the toe, helping with mis-hits, and the Ping G15 irons also boast wider soles.
These irons have stronger lofts than more traditionally designed Ping iron sets, but the company says the low and deep center of gravity keeps the launch angle high.
A progressive set aimed at better players who desire workability, the Ping i15 irons have long irons with larger, more forgiving clubheads, transitioning through the mid-irons into the short irons with smaller clubheads for greater control on approach shots.
The mid-irons in the set also include a tungsten weight insert in the toe, increasing forgiveness in the middle of the set.
The Ping i15 irons are available in 3-9 plus pitching wedge. Stock shafts are the Ping-designed AWT steel and the TFC 149i graphite.
As a reminder, the new G15 series clubs by Ping are targeted at golfers who prioritize game-improvement features such as high MOI and high-launch engineering; the i15 series clubs are targeted at golfers who like to work the ball and favor a lower, tour-preferred mid-trajectory.
All the clubs featured on this and previous pages come with Ping's color-codes to help with fitting, 12 color codes total designating lie angles. Multiple custom shafts are available, and the Ping grips come in six sizes.
