Ping woods are known for their classic good looks and the G15 Fairway Wood is no different, scoring high marks across the board in the visual stakes. Pro Chris liked the way it sat square at address and was a fan of the head size while Kit liked the modern sole design.

That said the looks were the only thing George faulted it on, saying it was a little bland. He gave it top marks in every other category, though, especially liking its forgiveness off the deck. For him buy golf clubs uk was the easiest club to hit on test.

Ping say they have achieved this thanks to a slightly elongated head which has increased the MOI (resistance to twisting) by 23 per cent and an external sole weight pad to move the centre of gravity significantly further back and slightly lower.

The G15 pulls off that shot quite easily as the ball is launched quickly and effortlessly. Regardless of being in the light rough or the fairway, the sole interacts with the ground smoothly and the distance was pretty impressive. The G15(Buy Ping G15 Fairway Wood UK - Best Price Golf Clubs) makes going for par five's in two a whole lot more entertaining.

A higher launch angle has also been achieved by the insertion of an external weight pad at the back of the sole which has moved the CG significantly further back and slightly lower. Ping woods also have a reputation for their classic good looks and the Ping G15 irons, which scored highly on TG's test, is no exception.

The G15's forgiveness factor is rated as Extreme and I could not agree more. There is some workability in it to be sure but I found the Ping G15 Driver primarily wants to go straight. The sweet spot seemed to be most of the face (not quite but pretty close) and shots where you nailed it felt pretty much the same as those where you just missed it.

The G15 isn't a miracle worker for your swing but it's pretty close. Put a decent swing into it and you will be rewarded. A not-so-decent swing will be at least playable (a horrible swing, it doesn't matter what club you're using). Off the tee, the G15 was equally admirable and fun to use. Normally my game is to hit my driver as often as possible and suffer the consequences and the Ping G15 Fairway Wood forced me to change that up. It's not a mini-driver or a driver replacement but it will send the ball quite a ways down the fairway.
