Ping Driver Reviews

By LyleS

Specs

The Ping G15 driver is one of the company's latest and most high-performing clubs, particularly when matched with the correct shaft for the large majority of amateur players. With a head made of Titanium, this club features maximum forgiveness for the average player, low spin and a deep club face for the skilled player and a high-launch angle for every player. Each of the standard shaft choices offers an increased moment of inertia and higher ball speed off the club face.

Perks

The G15 offers what Ping terms extreme forgiveness, making this a great driver for virtually every player on the course. It is the larger club face and sweet spot that the higher handicap players will find attractive, while the younger player should embrace all the technology as well as the half-moon graphics along the club crown.

Sacrifices

The only real sacrifice this club offers is for highly skilled players looking to work the ball one direction or another. The G15 is designed to reduce the impact of side spin and keep the ball flying high and straight. The high-level player might want to trade some of that game-improvement consistency in for on-demand control.

Bottom Line

Ping has created an outstanding club for the widest variety of player. The G15 is a high-speed, long distance, high-performance driver waiting for the right player to start using it.

Golf Shoe Design Changes and Options
by Staff
As the '90s drew to a close, the footwear segment of the golf equipment market was fueled by the need to develop unique outsole and spike configurations. The demand for traction enhancement stemmed from the golfing world's switch from traditional steel spikes to alternative cleats. Alternative spike manufacturers suddenly appeared to outnumber shoe manufacturers. Spikeless and spiked combination outsoles existed side by side, leaving the consumer confused as to what worked best.
