To celebrate their 50th anniversary Ping has introduced what it calls "our most comprehensive product launch in history."
The G15 Series appeals to the majority of golfers who rely on the easier-to-hit attributes of a maximum forgiveness, higher launch type of club.
Okay, over to Paul for a review of how he and Matt Cooper got on with the whole G15 range(wholesale golf clubs).
Ping G15 Driver
As is the norm these days, the G15 Driver features the maximum 460CC head but on address is doesn't feel as though you have to summon up all your strength to swing a monster.
The club features a large face but the head still manages to look sleek in design with a simple to use alignment aid.
So, the club looks great, it's easy to align and swing but what happens when you hit the ball?
Will this great design be ruined by an unholy noise that will have the rest of the driving range looking at you accusingly, holding their ears in mock pain?
Thankfully not, instead there is a satisfying 'ting' and the ball is sent on a very pleasing trajectory further than I've ever hit my current driver.
Rather than this being a one-off fluke, results were consistent and off-centre hits were more forgiving than I'm unaccustomed to.
A self-confessed short-hitter, Matt was looking to see if he could add some crucial yards to his drives with the G15 and was pleased to find himself hitting shorter irons into par-fours than he is used to.
Like me, he appreciated the fact that you feel no need to take a wild swipe at the ball - the club is as big as all modern drivers(such as callway ft-iz driver) are, but the design is smart enough to give every impression of smooth control.
Ping has surely produced another market leader with golf drivers.
