I have had my I15 driver for several weeks now and I believe that it is the best Ping driver to date. I foolishly traded my Rapture V2 for the new G15 and was disappointed because I seemed to lose distance. I went to the PGA Superstore in Myrtle Beach and tried several other drivers. The pro their handed me the I15 and immediately I was hitting it longer and with less back spin. Chuck P said that it was made for those players with swing speeds over 100 mph, but I can tell you that I only swing 90-95 mph and it works for me. I am 58 years old with a 7 handicap. I also have the UST Mamiya AXIV shaft, but in regular flex. Give this one a try and you might find that it works for you also.

I have an 8 degree Ping i15 with a UST AXIVcore Tour Red stiff 69 Shaft. I have used it for three rounds and it is a truly amazing driver. I tried every major manufacturer’s drivers at a recent dealer day – and I kept coming back to the Ping i15. This is a club that is designed for a golfer who can turn the wrists and ball “over” and for someone whose average swing speed is at least 105-108. The club is actually far more workable than the G15 and other 460cc drivers. I am able to dial in a draw without trying too hard in spite of the fade bias of the club. Since Ping began the G series they have tweaked their drivers a bit every year and now we are the beneficiaries of their detail and technological skill. The sound and feel of the club is superb and a mid-low handicap player could probably hit the 9 degree (or higher) effectively as well. I will be playing this driver this year as I have significant distance increase and more workability than my previous drivers. This driver is as good as any I have ever used.

if you have the draw model dont switch to the i15 model, everything about it is draw reducing which means you better hope your fade can carry alot!! i switched from i15 carrying 276 yards to the ZL carrying 284 yards.

Hi Nick,
I haven’t tried the G15 or the G10, so I can’t give you a comparison of both clubs. I’ll give the the G15 a spin at the demo day the PGA Show in a couple of weeks and let you know how it goes.
Thanks
Rob

Have you had a chance to try out the G15 driver? I have the G10 Draw and am wondering if it is a big enough improvement to warrant an upgrade!
