A Challenge to the Best Ping G15 Fairway Wood Review

 

To celebrate their 50th anniversary Ping has introduced some golf clubs that it calls "our most comprehensive product launch in history." One of its new releases is Ping G15 Fairway Wood. While it's more of an evolutionary change, it still boasts some pretty cool design features that should make you give it strong look.

 

Ping G15 Fairway wood updates the hugely popular G10 golf clubs model and shares many of the improvements seen in the Ping G15 driver. The G15 has an elongated head design which means the clubhead is longer from back to from to provide stability and forgiveness and increase the moment of inertia, or MOI.

 

The G15 also features an external sole weight pad which redistributes weight at the bottom of the clubhead and helps move the centre of gravity lower and further back in the club to provide both a high launch rate and a very low spin rate.

 

Ping have also introduced a new low profile design with the G15 fairway woods which is not only pleasing on the eye and inspires confidence but also helps to move the centre of gravity much lower in the clubhead. The Ping G15 Fairway wood is available with a TFC 149F or Aldila Serrano 75 Fairway shaft.

 

It also looks good. As far as color combinations go, red and black have seemed to be the rave for the past few years and PING joins in with their offering on the G15. The sole mixes in a nice amount of black, red and silver to make the G15 esthetically pleasing to the eye for the rare instances you are actually looking at the sole.

 

The "moon-thing" alignment aid that was featured in prior models of PING woods is a thing of the past (though you can still tell it had some influence) and is replaced by some nifty red triangles which work out quite nicely in getting these golf clubs lined up with your target line.
