So, the Ping truck was at nearby golf range and I decided to go and test their G15 3 wood, both shafts. I use a R flex. He only had it with the Aldila Serrano, Which felt good. For the TFC 149, he let me hit the K15. I hit both off the tee and off the deck. I was pleasently surprised with the Serrano. Both clubs were long, the balls exploded off the faces. I hit them both high too. YET, off the deck, most of my G15 shots went right. Not too far, and not a slice. With the K15, every deck shot was a laser, straight as can be where ever I aimed. I am sold on Ping. For woods. They make incredible stuff. Although I will never give up my forged Mizzy irons. Yet I never thought there would be 3 woods so easy to hit off the deck. So I just ordered my K15 this morning online.  This is why it is always good  to test before you buy. I was dead set on getting the G15, for looks, reputation and reviews. Yet hitting better shots with the K15, was the best thing for me. I made the mistake of buying the G10 driver on sale, yet lucked out that it worked out for me. The K15 is super GI, and doesn't look as good as the G15. Do I care? Not on your life, now that my shots will be dead acurate. And still long. So,.... now that my ranting is over, I suggest anyone wanting a 3 wood that is incredibly easy to hit off the deck, and tee, try this club.

No surprise--just like the K15 driver, the K15 3 wood is getting incredible reviews.  After realizing that I simply hit Ping woods better than anything else, I recently sold or traded many of my other fairway woods and hybrids, keeping primarily my Pings.  I still have some Nike SQ II and Sumo Sq woods, but they are in a backup role.  I use a G15 4 wood, but I am sure it is only a matter of time before I pick up a K15 3 wood.  From most things I've read, people seem to prefer the K15 3 wood to the G15 4 wood, which is crazy considering how good the G15 4 wood is.  Enjoy the new club.

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

    • I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
