Ping i15 hybrid
Published: Last updated:
RRP: £163
LOFTS: 17, 20, 23
TECH TALK The i15 has a similar internal design as the G15 – a heavy internal weight pad is low and deep to launch the ball high with less spin – but it’s built for players with high swing speeds who want to work the ball. The face is wider and more shallow, but the fitting options are the same.
PLAYER COMMENTS
L “One of the most consistent ball flights I’ve seen in a hybrid. There are no surprises, just a nice, mid-level flight each time.” … “It has a lot of giddyup: The ball explodes off the face.” … “You get high, forceful shots that have enough air under them to stop on a green.”
M “I can swing freely without having to worry about hooking it.”
HOT The i15 definitely comes from the deep end of the Ping hybrid-aesthetics gene pool, and it’s a look everyone will admire.
NOT The club is in its second year. Why not add a couple more lofts, especially since many higher-handicappers prefer it to the G15 because of the way it looks?
