PING has revealed its new K15 driver, part of its new range of clubs that also includes the K15 fairway woods, irons and hybrids.First about the technologyThe 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.
An external weight pad places approximately 10% of the overall head mass towards the heel. This feature repositions the centre of gravity to promote a natural club head rotation through impact.The new driver also features a 460cc head design. By positioning mass further back and away from the face the centre of gravity is driven back to add more dynamic loft at impact, which results in a higher ball flight.

It is engineered with Straight Flight Technology (SFT) which promotes natural club head rotation by concentrating approximately (discount golf clubs )10% of the head mass towards the heel. A larger face increases forgiveness and ball velocity for greater distance and accuracy.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.Second about the reviewsThe 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.
