Ping K15 Driver

The Ping K15 driver features patent pending Straigt Flight Technology that uses an extreme external weight pad to move 10% of the clubhead mass towards the heel. By repositioning the centre of gravity this provides a natural rotation through impact. The design of the K15 driver means that the external sole weight pad is largely concealed.

The K15 has a larger 460cc head design that moves weight away from the clubface to push the centre of gravity backwards and provide a higher trajectory. By increasing the length from heel to toe Ping have also been able to create a larger surface to provide high levels of forgiveness and higher ball velocity.

Ping's own Ultra Thin Crown Technology has been utilised to redistribute 8 grams to the external weight pad and further enhance the position of the centre of gravity and moment of inertia.

The Ping K15 driver features the TFC 149D graphite shaft that uses high balance point technology that allows the head mass to increase without affecting swing weight or the overall club weight to allow clubhead speed to remain consistent. This allows the K15 driver to generate higher ball speeds for longer and straighter drives.

What Golfalot Says


The Ping K15 driver has a much longer head front to back than the Ping G15 Driver and this delivers a more forgiving face with a slightly higher trajectory. At address the head looks much larger as if someone has sat on the G15, but in a nice way. It gives you a lot of confidence and you just have to waft it near the ball to get another drive effortlessly away.

A lot of these deep centre of gravity drivers end up looking a bit triangular, but Ping have managed to keep the lovely curved shape that their drivers have become renowned for. The face is more rectangular than most drivers for more forgiveness and the SF Tec (Straight Flight Technology) heel bulge that you can see from the front is cleverly blended into the design so that you hardly notice it.

The feel was very good indeed and due to the longer shallower head the impact sound is more high pitched than the G15 but still gives a powerful quality ping noise. The Ping K15 driver was great fun to hit and if you struggle to get the ball off the ground with your driver then you should definitely try this out as it will get the ball airborne without sending it into the clouds.

I was interested to try the Ping K15 driver because I was a big, big fan of the G15 and I was interested to see how the two compared. I was delighted to discover that the K15 is an even easier club to play.

I found that it went high, straight and far on almost every drive - a pretty rare experience for me. The sound is great as well and the Straight Fit Technology "bulge" is completely unobtrusive at address so the club looks great as well.

Another winner from Ping!

I was very keen to try the out the latest driver offering from Ping as I am a big fan of both the G10 and G15 drivers and the Ping K15 certainly did not disappoint. The K15 is a good looking driver, albeit slightly more awkward at address than the G15, and in trademark Ping fashion gives you plenty of confidence.The Straight Flight Technology certainly delivers and for players who struggle from the tee would certainly benefit from the consistently high and straight ball flight. In fact the fact that it is perhaps a little less workable than it's predecessors is my only complaint and Ping seem to have produced another winner!

I'm handicap +20, 6ft 1inches tall and suffers from a natural tendency to fade my shots. I recently bought the K15 driver, regular TFC149 shaft. I had been using the Titleist 909D2 Aldila Voodoo stiff shaft, and had then recently changed to Ping's Rapture V2 regular shaft which I took back to the shop after 1 round because it was too 'soft and whippy' for me. When I finally tried the K15 driver, all my driving gremlins disappeared immediately because the feel of the club is just amazing through all the phases: address, backswing, transition, downswing, impact and finishing. The golf pro in the pro-shop told me to hit it 10 times behind the swing and ball-flight analyser and was shocked that I nailed 9 straight, long drives. The stats on ball spin, launch angle, shaft torque, etc were all unbelievably accurate within acceptable thresholds. I paid for the club immediately and off I went to the course where I've hit 15 out of 15 fairways with nice, straight drives of between 270 - 290 yards - PERIOD! The K15 driver head is very neutral and almost totally eliminates my slice due to its weight pad being towards the heel. The shaft I chose TFC149 has a superb feel to it for someone of my handicap. I've now taken all excuses off the table as far as the driving component of my game is concerned. All I can say now is THANK YOU PING!!!
