The newest line of PING woods comes in the form of the i15 line. The sleek design and profile of the i15 fairway metal is right in line with the current trend you see in the bags of professionals on tour.
Features
Developed for better golfers who rely on the distance and versatility of a fairway wood, the PING i15 Fairway Wood features a sleek, low profile shape that delivers high performance from all conditions. The stainless steel heads are slightly elongated from heel to toe for added forgiveness and internally weighted to produce low spinning shots with the penetrating trajectory preferred by more skilled golfers.
Look and Feel
At first glance, I was extremely pleased with the look of the i15 Fairway Wood. The one word that always comes to mind when I look at it is sleek. I've mentioned earlier how small the size is and it translates as well when you are standing over it. If I had to make a direct comparison to a current fairway wood on the market, it would have to be the Titleist series. In particular, the F2 line because of its size.
At impact, the feel and sound was solid and more of a crack than a hollow "ping" sound. It was very easy to detect where I struck the ball on the face of the club. With my X Hot I do not get near that feeling. This is one of the big draws, for me, to the i15. Not only do you get a great feeling off the face of the club but you get immediate feedback.
In my previous fairway metals, Callaways mostly, I liked the rounded leading edge to help hitting the ball off the deck. I felt like I could dig into the ball a bit. That hasn't been an issue for me nearly as much lately as I don't use the fairway metal much off of the deck as I have in the past. Its main purpose now is off of the tee and my hybrid serves me from the fairway or rough.
Performance
There are two distinct areas that a fairway wood serves to just about any golfer. First, and most obviously, is as a club that lets you advance the ball as far as you can off of the ground. Second, as a club to hit off the tee - or a backup to your driver for some people. PING's i15 did a good job in both.
In conclusion, I haven't been one to switch out fairway woods. I've been in the Callaway camp for a while now. The PING i15 has made me pause to think about making a jump. I loved its look and feel. The performance was excellent too.
