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

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      It probably wouldn't matter if he stood on one foot — if he was still for a second, the water would likely recede and not be visible.

      The rules can t cover every possible situation, this one is reasonably clear.  How would you rewrite it to fairly cover the situation you ask, and would it be better or more consistently understood? I think the announcers saw spray from the practice swings, and ASSUMED that there must be standing water there.  But wet turf will produce spray.  And of course Faxon was a tour player, so he views it from a players standpoint.  But players often don't understand the rules really well.  Its a shame they didn't get an actual rules expert at that moment, we know the USGA had people available.

      Fair enough. By wiggly I just mean the bit about stepping hard or the like doesn't count. Like, what if the player says they plan on playing the lie with massive weight on the front foot and ball back in the stance to try ensure no bounce interaction to prevent the club getting sucked into the soggy turf before the ball, and it's only with ~80% of weight on the front foot that you can see water? But I was more wondering what the announcers were complaining about?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Grizvok · Posted

      Day 5 - extremely long range practice session. Probably one of my best practice sessions ever. Doing things in slow motion is like 5x'ing the effectiveness of the practice. Also, I need these same "falling into lead leg" feels on my wedges. And guess what? Practicing this feel on shorter wedges is ALSO EASIER AND MORE EFFECTIVE. Combining much slower than full speed practice with shorter (50-90 yard) shot practice was really good. Change the picture on these shorter shots first. Feel like I'm keeping my arms as straight as possible on the backswing while hinging my wrists earlier is an incredible feel. I feel like this is doing stuff to my sequencing somehow? Much less rushed at the top because hinging was done at a reasonable time? One note someone made on my swing thread before I went on a hiatus was regarding this so I played around with it.  Clubs that don't require as much weight/pressure shift feel fantastic (driver/3-wood/hybrid), but that's almost always been the case.
