Ping K15 driver and 5 wood

[vangator]

Got a tip that Dick's was have a clearance sale of Ping K15 drivers for $97. So I jumped in my car and headed to Dick's tonight. I bought that last stiff shafted driver (9.5) and 5 wood they had. Driver was $71.97 and 5 wood was $51.97. Merry Christmas to me! :-) I was tired of waiting for a price drop on the Ping G25's.

My Son just bought a Ping G25 3 wood from ebay...55.00...USD

I worry about counterfeits from ebay. That's an amazing price for a G25.

So do I. He did buy it from a PGA type online store, and confirmed it to be real. They said if he wasn't happy, he could return it within 14 days.

Wish I would have seen the 3 wood first..

I regripped the driver and 5 wood. The original grips were too skinny. I tried to get them off with my air compressor both couldn't do it. I been meaning to lengthen my irons as well. So I increased them 1 inch and regripped them as well. Can't wait to get on the range and course today.

K15 is a solid performer. Good luck and love the 5 wood addition. You try the hybrids? I use a 23 g15. Love it.

If you come across a K15 model 3W, give it a try. At 16* loft and a low-profile head, it gets the ball up nicely.

(I tried one out a couple of years ago, but ended up not buying).

I hit the 5 wood absolutely perfect yesterday. Uncanny. I guessing about 225 mostly but every shot came off like I envisioned it. Slight draw. The driver is a little more closed than I prefer. Hit a few big hooks, but only one cost me a stroke. I have confidence that the ball will not go right. That's a nice feeling. I think I may take a road trip to another Dick's to find a 3 wood. Possibly a hybrid if the deal is there. They look a little too closed for me though. I play a draw as it is, so that might be a snapper.

I took a road trip to another Dick's and found a K15 3 wood 16* with a stiff shaft. $51.97. If it hits as nice as the 5 wood, I'll be ecstatic. I don't hit my current 15* 3 wood. From the deck, it's like my love life. I can't get it up like I used to.

Played yesterday and the driver worked well. Nothing went right. I had a couple of drives that hooked a little more than I'd like but still kept in the fairway. It really seems to be much more forgiving than my old driver. Misses are still OK. And it is long. Drove the green on a 311 par 4. Ball was an absolute rope. The 3 wood is great. I had given up hitting a 3 wood several years ago. I have a 15* Goldwin. I like it off the tee, but could not hit it off the deck consistently. Weird. This K15 3 wood got up nicely. I hit one ball that left a mark on the face almost an inch toward the toe. The ball still drew 220 right where I aimed it. That's incredible. There's a tight 296 par 4 that I usually hit my old 3 wood about 235. I hit this 3 wood even with the front of the green. Every hit is a gentle draw. Found a keeper.
