G15 Hybrid Performance

The design and shape of the head also seems to help when hitting shots from the rough. The Ping g15 hybrid seems to cut through the longer grass brilliantly, and really gets the golf ball away well from some difficult lies.
On top of all that, the power of the Ping g15 hybrid is also pretty good. Despite the ball flight of shots often always being a bit on the high side, the carry observed wa s actually quite impressive.
This Ping g15 hybrid would be a very good golf club to have in your bag if you were facing down a longer par 3 of over 200 yards or so, provided you don't have a massive wind against.


There really isn't anything negative to say about the performance of this Ping Hybrid, although may have to get past the looks and design initially. The Ping g15 hybrid is everything that a Hybrid golf club is meant to be, powerful, reliable and extremely easy to hit.
To be completely honest, I wasn't very comfortable with the long iron replacement at first. Luckily, first impressions don't equate to the lasting opinion, and this Ping g15 hybrid is proof of that. At address, what seems like a large amount of offset - if you'll pardon the pun - really threw me off. The irons I play have a very minimal amount of offset, and going from one extreme to the other took a little bit of getting used to.
The other problem I had was the stock rubber grip, which was a little too small. Still, this is such a minor issue; it's really barely worth mentioning. After having the grip swapped for a midsize New Decade Multi-Compound, my experience was considerably better. I'm not sure if it was a mental thing or not, but in my mind, it reinforces how important of a role the comfort of the hands play in the golf swing. As a side note, the red and black New Decade Multi-Compound was a great match for this Ping g15 hybrid.


PING has three stock shafts available for the Ping g15 hybrid; their own AWT steel, the TFC149H, and the Aldila Serrano 85 Hybrid. I tested the 20° model with a stiff Aldila Serrano. As I previously mentioned, after a few rounds, I decided to ditch the stock rubber ID8 grip in favor of the New Decade Multi-Compound. Of course these grips, as well as a wide variety of other custom options, are available from PING.
