G15 driver which loft
It looked nearly new, what a bargain. After falling out with golf a few of weeks back due to an embarrassing couple of rounds, I was ready to get the clubs on ebay! However PayDay came around and I thought lets have a look on Golfbidder to see what gamesavers I could get.
A friend recommended this club and it is awesome! It really has saved my golf. Took it out on the range the first day and it was flying off the tee. I used to lack consistency off the tee but its so forgiving Its filled me with confidence.
It feels like I can't hit a bad shot! I played the following day and I'm glad to say I've now got the golf bug back! Once i adjusted to holding the club face at the right angle it "pinged" 30 yards further than my old driver!!! After using both Ping G2 and G10 drivers the G15 lives up to the reviews. Forgiving with those off centre strikes and giving me more yardage. Im not going to pay the extra for the G20 just yet with the G15 working for me.
The Serrano shaft is a plus too. Appeared brand new when I recieved it. Upgrade from G5, So far so good. It has added distance and forgiveness to my drives. I feel very confident with this club in my hand on the tee I Decided to Have A lesson, this straightened out my drives but no improvement on the distance,so I decided To try some other drivers ,with the result I ended up with The Ping G First up excellent service from Golfbidder, club condition was rated as a 7 but I found it to be in tip top condition so have no fears about buying used clubs.
The club itself has a great feel and provided I swing prorperly it adds 20 up to 25 yards onto my previous best drives!! I had a cobra before buying this G15, all I can say is wow i have add 30 yards onto my drive, I'am now hitting it on average and a few pass the mark straight as arrows. It is definitely the best driver I have bought. Great club with good weight and balance.
Its hard finding a driver with this loft ,only a few OEM's do this now. Very happy with complete service from delivery, package and also the condition of the club. As indicated in profile. Thank you Dave. I have been using a Callaway Steelhead III firm flex 3 wood for over 5 years off the tee, after stuggling for accuracy off the tee, but decided to take the plunge and step back up to a driver.
I took the PING G15 onto the course having had no chance to try it out at the range before hand and was amazed at how easy it was to use and how straight I hit it, far straighter than my 3 wood. The club looked good at address fairly neat for a cc head and reasonably traditional. It feels nicely weighted and not too light. The stock Ping r flex shaft felt about the same as my Callaway firm flex. On impact the club feels solid but lively with a nice 'tink' but not too leary. The ball launched high with a penetrating flight and on a breezy day into the wind found it didn't balloon at all.
Obviously compared to my 3 wood it goes a long long way and was blown away by the hang time it seemed to get in the air. Found myself chipping onto a few par 4's where I would normally be hitting a 7 iron.
A great club! Very easy and it's perfect for the pleasure! Thanks Golf Bidder! I wanted to see if it was as long, as forgiving, as accurate - as all-around wonderful - as the buzz was claiming. This thing just might be the most forgiving driver PING has ever developed.
The face of the driver is slightly larger than the face of the G10, the head has been lengthened from front to back, and the weight saved by using an ultra-thin crown has been repositioned in an external sole weight. These changes give the club a higher Moment of Inertia MOI , greater consistency across the hitting surface, and a center of gravity that is optimized to reduce spin and produce higher trajectories.
Taken together, they promote greater ball speed and forgiveness, increasing the potential for longer, more accurate drives. I've never been impressed with the looks of PING's clubs, but this one is different.
Its black crown has a subtle alignment aid, its sole is silver, black and red, and its two shaft choices are in coordinating shades of red and gray. Lengthening the head from front to back to increase the club's MOI has caused it to be a bit more triangular-shaped than the rounder G Sell Golf Clubs.

Hit the old club further. Enter the G15 in a 9. Beautiful to look at, to boot. This year-old now has hope for the future. I spent a couple hours on Saturday at one of the big box golf stores with my existing driver, a Taylormade TP, and a bunch of new ones. The 9 degree stiff with the serrano shaft was the only driver I tested that stood out on the monitor, including the i It was a little lower trajectory 14 vs and consistently lower spin vs — than the other drivers.
The monitor showed it only producing about five extra yards, but I went ahead and bought it anyway. I got out onto some empty holes on my home course last night after hitting balls on the range.
First hole was a yard par 5. First ball felt like I hit it ok with a bit lower than normal ball flight. I hit a second, which I hooked and a third, which flared right. The first ball was easily 20 yards beyond where most of my really good drives with the TP end up. I hit a 3 wood into the greenside bunker.
The second ball I hooked was maybe 8 yards behind the first and still in the fairway, while the flared right ball was just off the fairway about even with my good TP drives that I normally hit with a draw. Next par 4 was a bit erratic with one well struck drive, but the one after that was a , where again I was 20 yards beyond a really good TP drive to a mid-green pin.
I ran into some people on the next par 5 so only hit one ball, which I hooked into a fairway bunker. Following hole is the 1 handicap hole, a par 4. I had a similar experience on 18 — a couple balls pulled left and one bullet to a nine iron remaining on a yard hole.
Index — 5 Have been using a Burner TP 9. The G15 review is terrific. Lots of great information and helped in my decision to upgrade my driver. Some basic facts: been a loyal Ping user since 5 sets of irons, Ping Eye woods, hybrids, putters, etc. After six rounds with my G15 9 degree draw, stiff Serrano shaft , I have gained accuracy and distance averaging measured with my Skycaddie ; and hitting 12 of 14 fairways consistently.
It just feels good. Some of you young studs might find this no big deal, but age will get you and orthopedic issues can take its toll. Ping has once again gained position one in my bag. I recommend it! Note well the comments about launch angle and draw: I went from a I bought a G15 9 deg with Serrano stiff recently and found the following: the club does set up a couple of degrees closed and that requires some adjustment after hitting neutral for most of my life.
If you turn this club out to neutralize the face angle, or if you hold it off at impact, it will flare right as others have reported. However, if you square the face and release it produces a gentle draw with lots of roll. If you swing over the top you can count on an out of control hook. I have learned to aim right side and I almost always hit the fairway.
In fact, this driver takes right side hazards just about out of play. Distance is 10 to 20 yds farther than my old G2. High on the face produces high shots, but still long and straight.
For me the Serrano shaft is the most comfortable driver shaft I have ever hit. Loved my Taylor made Burner very forgiving, accurate.
But lost some distance. Love it. Got mine yesterday, wow. Tried the R9, cobra s2, cleveland dst and a calloway big bertha. Settled on the ping, consistently hit further, straighter. The club felt just right so comfortable on address. Got I was wondering if this review was done on the draw biased g15 driver?
Have been playing the G2 for the past years and am ready for the upgrade. If I liked the G2 Sounds like I will need to go to 9 loft with the G Any thoughts?
I went to golfsmith last week looking to buy a new driver. I knew i needed a stiff shaft as my old driver r7 limited I hit a lot of drivers at 9. I dont remember the launch angle but the spin was The club looked good and felt good as well so i decided to order it from my local pro shop. Im a 12 handicap with mids ss by the way.
I usually hit it about average, While I was at the beach last week, I played with a guy who had a demo G15 9 degree driver with the Serrano Stiff Shaft. I played the entire back nine with that driver and hit all 7 fairways and hit the ball longer than ever with a much smoother swing. Got hooked up to a launch monitor after he round hit 30 balls with each driver and here were the results. Im 19 years old and play to a 9 handicap and I will be purchasing this club soon. YOu will not regret buying this.
Just bought a second hand G15 I played a round of golf with my brother last weekend at a local public course and in the clubhouse I noticed about 5 Ping G15 drivers that had been in demo service and were for sale. I selected a regular non draw The G15 cured all that. I hit every tee shot on the course as far as I would normally be able to with my Diablo but I missed only one fairway. Just got my G Tried it and have never hit my shots as long and consistent as the G This club was recommended by the pro to me after trying TM.
Really useful comments re launch angle — I have too much loft on my G5 driver and should have got fitted. If u put the right swing on this driver then you will outdrive ur prior club by yards. For me it the L5V is much more forgiving. Thanks for the awesome review! I just bought this club yesterday and am anxiously awaiting my first 18 out with it later this week or this weekend! Played 3 rounds with the G15 — also have a TM R The G15 is a nice club, but not the upgrade I thought based on all the reviews I read — including Gold Digest reviews.
