The newest line of PING woods comes in the form of the i15 line. The sleek design and profile of the i15 fairway metal is right in line with the current trend you see in the bags of professionals on tour.
So now comes the Ping i15 Fairway Wood. With some specific design features that intrigued me I was eager to put it to use. Whether or not it could supplant the X-Hot was the big question. The stainless steel heads are slightly elongated from heel to toe for added forgiveness and internally weighted to produce low spinning shots with the penetrating trajectory preferred by more skilled golfers.
The first change between the G series is that the head size is smaller. The 15.5 degree lofted i15 is 13cc smaller (154cc vs 141cc.) This is even a much, much bigger difference than my Callaway X-Hot which tops out at 202cc. Which is over 43% bigger than the i15. That's a lot of figures in only a couple sentences. Just know that there aren't many other fairway metals on the market as small.
The standard shaft for the PING i15 is their own home-grown TFC 700F. The torque gets lower as you go from regular to extra stiff and heavier in weight at the same time. Another option is a Mamiya AXIVcore which keeps the torque and weight the same throughout shaft flex. You can also branch out to just about any shaft you see on tour including the Aldila NV series, Fujikura, or Grafalloy shafts. The shaft included in this review was the Fujikura Banzai. For this review, I received the Mamiya AXIVcore.
Like most fairway metals on the market, and in the PING lineup, the head of the i15 uses a 17-4 Stainless Steel metal. The shape is slightly elongated from heel to toe to add a bit of forgiveness. The custom internal weighting will help produce lower spinning shots with a more penetrating trajectory.
