Aimed at the better players the new i15 driver from Ping looks set to become a serious contender in the performance driver market – the first time Ping have added to their G range in an attempt to lure players whose primary interest is performance not forgiveness.
At first the club takes some getting used to visually, with a black 460cc Titanium head looking slightly intimidating but this is clearly a result of the players who Ping are aiming at with the i15. Looking smaller and rounder than its G15 counterpart you can believe this has been developed on the feedback from Tour Players but if you have the confidence and a slightly more powerful swing speed then this club certainly delivers.
The TFC 700 shaft is designed for better players and together with the club head technology delivers a long, powerful and penetrating ball flight. A serious performance club it is still provides forgiveness on off centre strikes but this club is very much for the better player and one that will become a serious contender in this market.
