I tried this driver out in the golf town simulator and I liked the feel and look of it and was wondering what your thoughts are on this driver and what type of player it is for. Thanks

I think if you are not very erratic off the tee, anyone can use it. I found it to be a little open a little at address. When I demo'd it I was fighting a slice so I didnt want and factors helping accentuate that slice. I hit it well in the simulator, and its a great looking driver. You shouldn't have any issues using it.

Thanks but I have a tough time reading reviews because they are only one persons opinion or a group of people with a similar view. That's why I started this thread, I like reading numerous opinions and personal experiences with the driver.

You asked what people thought of the driver. I wrote a review with my thoughts. I don't think the person who responded was saying "there, that's all you need."

Additionally, the comments on the review are additional thoughts from more people.

your right, he never said that's all I need, I did read the review and it was very helpful. I'm not sure if you mntioned it or not but what kind of trajectory does the i15 have.

If you are a hooker (like me) it will fix you. I love the thing.

Was fitted for the i15 8 degrees with the axiv core in stiff flex...although I stayed with the G15 as I was afraid the i15 was too much club for me.   My driving is pretty consistent with the occasional bad swing (and no driver will help with that)...but I really got spooked with this "double digits need not apply" driver.  Even the PING rep that fit me said that the i15 performed the best for me from a backspin, ball flight and yardage perspective, but I should probably stay with the G15 or go to the G20 as they were more forgiving (which I had identified as being important to me).   Now that the rumors are confirmed the i20 is coming in the spring the i15's dropped in price.  I considered waiting, but have read the i20 will have a neutral set-up versus the fade bias and the i20 will have a more elongated head resulting in a higher trajectory than the i15.   The fade bias and more "traditional" head is what helps me keep the ball where I want it...so I pulled the trigger.  I have 2 rounds with the i15 and can tell you that my misses aren't the best (but neither were they with the G15), but my good swings produce a low piercing trajectory that flies like a freakin bullet. The wind was crazy strong today and I was still able to get very good distances right into the teeth of the wind (250 yds).   I don't know why I waited and was influenced by all the "players only" talk.  This driver is a beast and I can't wait for next summer when things are dry...I'll probably get 50+ yds of roll which is unheard of from my tee game.  I can't imagine that the i20 would be any better suited for my game...I think the i15 is perfect for me!   Now that the price has dropped anyone even thinking about trying this club should not hesitate...even if you are a double digit (starting with a "1")

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
