Highly recommended Ping i15 irons

Jan. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- For years I have been fascinated by Ping irons. A few years back I hit some G5 irons during a demo day and just could not get over the fact that everything was bombed high and straight. I hit the i5 irons as well, and while not quite as forgiving, I really felt like the added forgiveness over the irons I had been playing would be a welcomed addition to my game. Alas, I ended up sticking with what I had, and well, with all the equipment reviews around here my bag is generally a revolving door.
The larger long irons offer high levels of forgiveness and stability, the mid irons are slightly smaller, blending into the compact short irons that offer a more controlled trajectory. The Ping i15 irons should suit golfers who want forgiveness in the long irons and control in the shorter clubs. These clubs will also appeal to those who are looking to set up more birdie chances and are not intimidated by relatively thin toplines.
Ping’s I-series irons of irons - though not their "S" series for the best players (or those wanting the most blade-like irons, anyway) - were designed with the better player in mind. However, the i15 borrows heavily from the company's G15 line of irons and works the technology into a sleeker, more workable iron that better players will find more pleasing to look at and play with more compact heads and thinner lines to give these better players more workability and shot control.
It seems that with every new club they release, Ping is providing significant upgrades over their predecessors.  The Ping i15 is no exception to this recent trend, as it takes an already successful Ping club, the Eye2, and given it an upgrade and a modern twist and improved specifications.  The Ping i15 is a worthy series of irons that is going to rapidly become some of the most popular, and user friendly clubs on the market.  Just like the rest of Ping's modern series of clubs, the Ping i15 is right down the alley of every avid golfer.
In the design of the Ping i15 Irons, PING engineers focused on the better player who prefers an iron set that offers the control to play a variety of shots. Created as a progressive set, the longer irons are larger for more forgiveness and higher trajectories, while the mid and short irons transition slightly smaller to ensure more workability and control on approach shots. The stainless steel iron features a tungsten toe insert to add forgiveness to the mid-size design. A stabilizing bar and new Custom Tuning Port (CTP) provides the feel and sound attributes preferred by better players.
The reason more players on Tour are switching to cavity back players irons, is they can have the forgiveness of a cavity back without sacrificing shot control and feel. The Ping i15 irons are engineered to provide just that, solid feel, control, and forgiveness on your shots in all your irons, but in a progressive set.
In a variety of situations, the i15s performed extremely well. The feel is freakishly consistent all over the clubface. No matter how good the contact, the i15s never felt as good as a svelte muscleback struck on the button, but only the worst mis-hits relay a noticeably different feel to your hands. I'd personally prefer more feel - I like to know exactly where I struck the ball on the clubface - but I've come to understand that I'm in the minority on this issue. The i15s were impressive in terms of forgiveness, consistency of ball flight and distance, and in providing uniform, consistent feel to the golfer within a wide range of strike positions.
The i15 remains true to its PING roots while taking advantage of newer technology. If you're looking for a more consistent iron game, they deserve a look: they offer a consistent ball flight, distance, and dispersion when struck almost anywhere on the clubface. You won't get the marshmallow feeling on a well-struck shot, but nearly everything will feel "solid" instead, and that's a tradeoff I think a lot of people are willing to make.
Players, review:
“At the start of the year I played off a 22 handicap. I was striking the ball well and reasonable straight and I decided the reason I wasn’t going down was because my clubs were not good enough. I had an old set of mizuno blades which were nice but not good enough. I decided to have a custom fitting and i have never really liked pings but these just felt lovely!! They have over halved my handicap to 10 and added a huge amount of distance to my game. I love the penetrating ball flight and superb distance (9 iron 160) a tad on the expensive side but well worth it :-) extremely happy golfer!”
“This is the third set of Pings I've owned, been using them for 3 months now. The first were i3+ blades, then s57's. Both are great sets. The i15 are truly a great set, best I've used. I am amazed at how easy they are to hit and how well the poorly struck shots end up. I loved the s57's. But for the number of times, I make a less than good swing. The i15's are a better fit for me. I have the KBS tour shafts and this combo, i15 and KBS is fantastic from a feel standpoint. What small abilty at working the ball I have is enhanced with these clubs. Highly recommended.”
