Gave my Titleist 909comp to my 18 year old son, who is a better golfer than I and got the new Ping G15. If anyone is in the market for a new driver this one is impressive! Mine is 9 degrees with the stock ping stiff shaft, great sound and very long. The 909 works well but this Ping is easier to hit and makes me look like a better golfer! LOL.....

Many years after you posted (haha!)...

I couldn't agree more.

I'm a low handicap, and have had a G10 for a long while now, but have just changed to a G15. I much prefer the G15, and it's the first driver in ages that has made me want to change.

I do like the R9 Supertri, but the wife would kill me if I spent that much!

I picked up a used one at Golf Galaxy today for $170. I am happy with my Nike driver but I heard sooooo many great thing about the G15 that I had to give it a try. If its works for me as well as everyone else then I'll be making a switch. I am very optimistic.

the G15 goes straight all day long.

It's a great thing for most of us, but if you're into shaping shots or regularly work the ball on the golf course, you're not going to like it. The design and the weighting just makes it very difficult to hit draws and cuts.

Overall, G15 is a great driver. I'm looking forward to try the K15, though.

You do realize Bubba Watson uses the G15 and plays mainly a cut but can also draw the ball. The G15 sets up maybe half a degree closed to almost square which is the only thing I don't like. If they made one that was slightly open then I'd actually replace my 9015D.

You mean the guy who hit a right-hand club 300+ yards at Ping facility?

You do realize that no driver in the market can guarantee you straight drives all day long, let alone the swing speed of Bubba Watson. It's my bad, though. I should have noted that it was my opinion.

Still like mine a lot. Hard to miss with it, goes as far as anything else and looks good to me.

I hopefully am getting these clubs soon, I am a new member to the forum and found out I cant make a thread about my problem, since you guys seem to know alot about ping can you guys tell me why some sites have g15 clubs for 400$ but high name stores like golfsmith etc are around 800? I was guessing scams, not totally sure if i am right.

New Ping G15 irons for $400 is sure to be counterfeit. Ping is very strict about their pricing--they produce amazing golf clubs, and they know it, and they know people will pay a premium for them. If you want a deal, you need to either buy preowned online or in stores, or buy an older model (like the G5 irons, which are under $400 legitimately and are similar to the G15s). For preowned, some good online sites for Ping clubs are globalgolf, 3balls, callawaygolfpreowned, and golfsmith.

Equipment:
Ping K15 Driver (10.5º) - Diamana BB R flex; Ping G15 4 Wood (TFC R flex); Ping G15 20* Hybrid (TFC R flex); Ping G15 23* and 27* Hybrids (AWT R flex steel); Ping G15 Irons 6-GW (AWT R flex steel); Ping I-Wedge 54* Wedge; CG14 BP 58* Wedge; Odyssey Black Series Tour Designs #9 Putter

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
