K15 series includes drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons all designed to fill the so-called “super game-improvement” segment. “We saw an opportunity to compete in a different category and offer our higher handicap customers a better solution for playing better golf,” says John K. Solheim, who leads Ping’s product development efforts as its vice president of engineering.
The Ping K15 Fairway Wood has an elongated head design that increases the moment of inertia by 25%. Together with an external weight pad, this new design ensures natural club head rotation to improve accuracy and distance. The low profile design lowers the center of gravity for improved performance while inspiring confidence to launch the ball higher.
Ping’s K15 series is filled out with hybrids and irons that are designed to promote that same “square-at-impact” club position as they also make it easier for players to launch the ball higher and hit it with greater distance and accuracy. A multi-metal iron design features a large, lightweight titanium face and a 17-4 stainless steel body, with the weight that has been saved from the face allocated to the sole and perimeter.
According to Brad Schweigert, director of engineering for Ping, fairway metals and hybrids also are important parts of the equipment maker’s new G25 line. With the Ping G25 Fairway Wood, the company utilizes an extreme variable thickness face that is designed to produce a more efficient energy transfer and thus, faster ball speeds. At the same time, Ping technicians have moved mass low in the 17-4 stainless clubhead to encourage higher ball launch. They assert that the combination of those factors leads to greater distance.
In addition, Schweigert said that the G25 clubhead is also made to increase forgiveness, especially on shots hit low on the face, which happens to be where most golfers miss. The G25 fairways come with a traditional head shape and boast a charcoal, non-glare finish. They are available in four lofts: 3 (15 degrees), 4 (16.5 degrees), 5 (18 degrees) and 7 (21 degrees). The 4-wood is as long as the 3-wood, and Schweigert describes it as a higher lofted 3-wood that will help players with slower clubhead speed launch the ball better.
