The Ping G15 Hybrids with Graphite Shaft represents the biggest change from the G10 range with a unique new iron/hybrid design ensuring that this is a club which launches the ball high while keeping the spin rate low. The high launch is achieved by moving the hosel further away from the club’s centre of gravity which, thanks to the unique design, is much closer to the clubface than in most hybrids. Stability and forgiveness are increased by using a large toe pad to provide the Ping G15 Hybrids with Graphite Shaft with a much more iron like weight distribution that helps to significantly increase the MOI of the G15 compared to the G10.
Ping have also removed almost all the bulge and roll from the clubhead to give that iron like feel and look at address. The design also helps to increase accuracy of the G15 and reduces dispersion on hits across the entire clubface. The Ping G15 Hybrids with Graphite Shaftcomes with a choice of TFC 149H or Aldilo Serrano 85 Hybrid shafts.
The Ping G15 hybrid is the surprise package of the entire G15 range We felt that the G10 hybrid was a solid, dependable club for the mid to high handicappers but the look was not exactly stunning. The Ping G15 Hybrids with Graphite Shaft is also going to divide opinion on the looks front, but what is different is that Ping have changed tack from creating a ‘wood’ hybrid to creating an ‘iron’ hybrid. Across the board long irons are being replaced due to the popularity of hybrids so Ping have created a long iron replacement hybrid that looks to us like the built up irons that hybrids started out as before the wood style took over. Right from the first swing, we really liked Ping G15 Hybrids with Graphite Shaft it really puts a smile on your face. The feel and sound at impact was great and getting the ball out there was effortless from on and off the fairway.
The looks will not be everyone’s cup of tea and the offset is quite large, but this is a club for all golfers and we think even better players will be tempted by the lower lofted versions of the Ping G15 hybrid. And, with five lofts to choose from, we can certainly imagine golfers putting more than one of thePing G15 Hybrids with Graphite Shaft
in their bag to replace those hard to hit irons.
