If asking any good amateur golfer for a Ping K15 driver review, you are likely to see a happy face. This is because the club has several features to enhance forgiveness, help you drive more accurately, and hit longer.
As I said in my review of the G15 irons best price, PING is known for utilitarian, workman-like equipment and the K15 driver is no exception. The club’s head has an elongated design, and it is also longer front to back than most other drivers. The chunkier head and larger face both enhance ball velocity and forgiveness. The head also carries an external weight pad, which positions the center of gravity in a way that once again allows for longer hits.
Sure its hitting area is 5% larger and the head has been elongated to provide more forgiveness and stability but it just didn’t seem that large at address. Optical illusion? Maybe. All I know is that it didn’t feel like I was swinging a U-haul at the end of a stick like previous 460cc drivers made me feel like. One interesting thing to note is that the SF Tec is slightly noticeable at address at the heel of the club.
Unlike the Ping G25 driver, the Ping Driver K15 does not come with a choice of two different shaft types. The biggest plus point of this club is that it dramatically improves drive accuracy. Even intermediate amateurs report that they regularly hit the fairway. Additionally, there isn’t much loss of direction on toe hits. This is precisely what Ping has been trying to achieve with its Straight Flight Technology.
The shaft is almost 46” long (45.75 to be precise) and while that has been traditionally an issue for me it turns out it really wasn’t. News at 11. The shaft is a not so flashy black/red/silver PING shaft but it seems to fit nicely with the not so flashy look of the driver so it’s all good. I mentioned a little bit ago that you could see the SF Tec technology at address and while this sounds alarming it isn’t. In fact it almost acted as a guide for me and promoted an inside takeaway.
Speaking of the shaft, I think this golf clubs for sale would be dynamite if the shaft offering was comparable to other companies who have stepped up their game by offering high-end stock shafts in their drivers. But hey, that’s half the fun of getting fit for a shaft/club right? The shaft wasn’t anything special to me as I didn’t get a lot of feedback from it.
According to many users, it does have a draw bias because of its design, and even relative beginners will rarely lose their ball to the right. All in all, this is one of the most forgiving clubs in the market. Source from: http://www.golfsalesupply.co.uk/article-545-Top-of-the-line-Game-Improvement-Ping-K15-Driver.html
