Maximized Forgiveness Ping K15 Driver Review
PING has added the K15 to the range to offer a product with even more forgiveness than the G15 range. In the Ping K15 Driver they have pushed 10% of the mass of the head into the heel to help straighten wayward flights. The large surface area of the face has been designed to maximize forgiveness.
The 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 Ping 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 utilized 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.
Overall, the K15 driver is designed for a straighter shot and more forgiveness. This could be something you should not miss in a golf shop if you are looking for the best driver of this year.
