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.

The Review of Whole G15 Range (2)
Ping G15 Irons
The new G15 irons from Ping have been designed with the game improver in mind.
Like the Rapture V2's, they offer maximum forgiveness but are a subtler proposition aesthetically.
Released to supersede the G10 range they feature a wide sole which enables them to sit comfortably behind the ball and a large offset which positions the hands forwards.
This provides those who may have trouble getting the ball airborne with a confident feeling that this can be achieved and this indeed proved to be the case.
There was consistent feel throughout the irons and those shots that came out of the toe (due to a dodgy swing!) still managed to make their way airborne and carry over a forgiving distance.
One pleasant surprise was that during the backswing the club head felt weighted in such a way that I was aware of its position and so found it easier to control my current golfing curse, the over-swing.
Ping have released another winner, one that the mid- to high-handicapper will love, and although there are never any guarantees that a new set of golf irons will reduce your handicap I believe that these clubs will provide you with a very good chance of doing so.
Ping G15 Fairway Wood
The G15 is a little different to your normal fairway wood in that it features a lower profile and larger head than you may be used to, elongated from front to back, but it is this that the mid- to high-handicapper may benefit from psychologically.
The club is easy to position behind the ball and with its rear weighting I felt able to power my way solidly through the ball.
A couple of other pleasing aspects were the trajectory of flight and the distance.
Although I was using a 4-wood I was easily able to achieve, if not exceed on occasions, the distance normally achieved with my 3-wood.
This was another club that had Matt purring - this time after he launched a shot to the back of a par-three green with an impressive draw-shape.
Matt prefers fairway woods to long irons and was sold on the G15 golf drivers- it felt great in his hands, was a joy to swing and had a pleasingly high trajectory.
Simple to use from both tee and fairway, Ping have produced another club that makes the game easier for the mere mortal. And you can buy cheap ones from some wholesale golf clubs stores.
