Ping G15 Hybrid
I've never really caught the hybrid bug, preferring instead to persevere with the long irons in my set rather than splashing out on another club that will do the same job.
This is probably down to my stereotypical Yorkshire mentality, but I must say that I've never hit a 3-iron as well I hit the G15 Hybrid.
Whereas I've never felt confident stood over a 3-iron, always anticipating a weak strike that will fade to the right, standing with the G15 in my hands those thoughts are immediately eliminated.
On address the sleek, simple design is pleasing to the eye and front section of the club could give the impression that you are stood over a traditional iron but it is what is going on behind the face that provides the confidence.
The simple, black rear section gives the impression that what lies within is enough weight to get you through the ball.
With the mid- to high-handicapper in mind the club felt solid on impact, something I could never imagine possible with the equivalent 3-iron, and it was easy get the ball airborne with not a hint of a weak fade.
Matt was also impressed with the extra shot options the G15 hybrid offered around the course.
Twice he found himself in thick, yet dry rough and was wary of getting his irons caught in the grass.
He took the hybrid and the club swept through the fescue, making solid contact with the ball, shooting it a good distance up the fairway.
The club also offers possibilities around the green, but that might an option for the more creative players!
The G15 Hybrid could well find a place in my bag very soon, now what to do with my 3-Iron.
With the G15's, Ping have produced another range of wholesale golf clubs that the mid- to high-handicapper will relish. Throughout the range the clubs inspire confidence at address and the consistent and forgiving results can only enhance this.
All you have to do is hit the ball, and with Ping's recommended custom-fitting options there can be no excuses not to improve your game. The golf irons are simple to use, easy to get airborne and the unfussy designs and classy red and black colour scheme remove any unwanted complications from the thought process.
