PHOENIX, Ariz. -- Ping's G15 Series of drivers, woods and hybrids continue the company's focus on developing the most forgiving, easiest-to-hit clubs available in golf, while the i15 Series is designed for golfers who prefer clubs that offer more workability and control.
"Our engineering team continues to research and analyze the needs of all golfers," said Ping President and CEO John Solheim. "Our newest families of clubs address the specific performance goals of these players and they are designed accordingly.
The G15 driver is engineered for golfers seeking maximum forgiveness. "The G15 Series appeals to the majority of golfers who rely on the easier-to-hit attributes of a maximum forgiveness, higher launch type of club. With the i15s, a lot of players will be attracted to the added control and versatility they offer," he added. "The i15s will deliver the forgiveness we all need, but they've been engineered to provide the workability that a lot of more skilled golfers look for in their clubs."
The G15 driver is engineered for golfers seeking a maximum-forgiveness driver that delivers distance and accuracy. Its 460cc titanium head is longer front to back and features Ping's patented ultra-thin crown technology. Weight savings from the thin crown are positioned as an external sole weight to optimize the center of gravity for higher trajectories and reduced spin.
A larger face is designed to increase ball speed and provide consistency across the entire hitting surface. The new Ping-designed TFC149D high-balance point shaft allows for a five gram increase in head mass (without increasing swingweight or overall weight), which results in higher ball speeds and an increased moment of inertia.
The G15 driver is available in 9-, 10.5-, 12- and 13.5-degree lofts, with a draw version available in 9-, 10.5- and 12-degree lofts. All carry a suggested retail price of $350 (graphite shaft only).
The G15 hybrid is engineered as a high-launching, forgiving alternative to long and mid irons. A large internal toe pad expands the perimeter weighting to make it Ping's most forgiving and longest hybrid ever.
The stainless steel hybrid's unique shape features an iron-style face and hosel design which positions the center of gravity closer to the face to increase launch angle and reduce spin. The clean look at address inspires confidence for golfers of all abilities.
The G15 hybrids come in lofts of 17, 20, 23, 27 and 31 degrees, and carry a suggested retail price of $160 per club with steel shaft and $185 per club with graphite shaft.
The elongated, low profile design of the G15 fairway woods offer a long, forgiving option for golfers who rely on the confidence of a larger head. An external weight pad on the sole of the stainless steel head positions the center of gravity low and farther back to provide higher trajectories and increased distance.
They come in 3-wood (15.5 degrees), 4-wood (17 degrees), 5-wood (18.5 degrees) and 7-wood (21.5 degrees), with a draw version available in the 3-wood (15.5 degrees), 4-wood (17 degrees) and 5-wood (18.5 degrees). They all carry a suggested retail price of $230 per club (graphite only).
The i15 fairway woods are internally weighted to produce low-spinning shots with penetrating trajectory. The fade-biased design of the i15 driver meets the needs of golfers who place a high priority on working their tee shots. The traditional pear-shaped 460cc titanium head is engineered with a bulge crown design and deeper face to optimize energy transfer for greater ball speed and the solid feel preferred by better golfers.
Internal weighting reduces spin and the hosel is positioned slightly back from the face to help promote tour-preferred trajectories and control. Its titanium carbon finish provides a sleek and optically pleasing appearance.
The i15 driver is available in lofts of 8, 9.5 and 11 degrees. It carries a suggested retail price of $405 (graphite shaft only).
For golfers who prefer a traditional hybrid shape and size, the stainless steel i15 hybrid offers a high moment of inertia with a tour-preferred trajectory. Internal weighting positions the center of gravity low and back to produce the penetrating ball flight that gives better players the control to hit a variety of shots from most any lie. Stronger lofts contribute to lower spin rates for additional control.
They are available in lofts of 17, 20 and 23 degrees. They carry a suggested retail price of $180 per club with steel shaft and $210 per club with graphite shaft.
Developed for better golfers who rely on the distance and versatility of a fairway wood, the i15 features a sleek, low profile shape that delivers high performance from all conditions. 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.
They come in 3-wood (14 degrees), 4-wood (15.5 degrees) and 5-wood (18.5 degrees). All carry a suggested retail price of $265 per club (graphite only).
