Just hit the new k15 driver

[doublesuited77]

Wow. Just wow. 20 yards longer than anything I'd ever hit. Not the best feel on the club face and goes a little too straight, but for distance and accuracy as good as anything I've ever hit.

So your telling me im going to be hitting my 7 Iron about 190 yards?

Sorry to take the piss, but I don;t believe they are 20 yards longer...

HAHAHA Just reread the title "driver" :P

[Idumhet]

Read the title of the thread once more CrazyX.. It says "just hit the k15 DRIVER"

[CrazyXGolfer]

hahaha I just did :P
Is this the driver Bubba Was using in the PGA?
I still have my doubt that the driver would be 20yards longer. Thats one 99% of people say when they go out and try new clubs.

Anyways, I think we have a Ping demo night in a few weeks near my home course. Ill have to give it a hit.

It could potentially add 20 yards, but that's assuming the head shaft combination was just better fit for the player than their current driver. Assuming shafts are about the same, etc., no you won't gain 20 yards. A low handicap player especially likely won't gain much distance as their swing is probably pretty good already and they're likely playing with good equipment already.

Are you going to buy one then? I'm still waiting for them to hit the golf stores in my neck of the woods.

I got to hit one today and have to say that for me it wasnt 20 yards longer. To be honest, I like the feel of the G-15 a bit better and for whatever reason I was hooking it a bit. I am assuming they have moved weight around in the head a bit and it wasnt really all that great for me. If you gained 20 yards I would buy it right away at your HCI

It is very hard to believe that a hc 2.6 with a matching driver, adds 20 yds with a stock from the rack recreational golfer's GI driver ......

doesnt surprise me much, Ive heard the titleist 905 r has a sweet spot the size of a flys butt.

I went to a golf store today buy some Wedges. When I was in there, I seen this driver, Gave it a hit.... must say, i hate the feel and the ball launch in sooo High.

Might be good for sombody that hits the ball very low, but I did not like it.

1 word. SHAFT.

[RDM#]

I have not hit the K15 yet, but I saw it at Dick's, I was hitting some Rapture fairway woods in the small hitting area and they had a storage area near by, they had a bunch of drivers, they can't put them out until Aug 22.

[misty_mountainhop]

Wow. Just wow.

Sorry, but ha, ha, ha. Good one. A rep for Ping by any chance?

Indeed.

[QUOTE=CrazyXGolfer;511270]So your telling me im going to be hitting my 7 Iron about 190 yards?


Although you mis-read the title, consider that manufacturers and those who peddle their equipment tend to claim "10 yards further," on each successive line of clubs. So, why do I hit a G5 driver the same distance as a G15?

Or maybe I should simply acquire a set of TaylorMade irons. I'm sure their 2-iron... I mean 5-iron would give me about 210 yards on every shot now.

Lopan rocks!!!  Gotta love jack burton too
