Golf Monthly Verdict

Looking down on the PING i15 fairway wood at address it's immediately apparent this is a PING club and that will immediately win over a lot of fans. The face is shallower than on the G range, but there is still plenty of confidence-inspiring loft on show. We found it very easy to shape shots – and alter trajectory with this club and it performed especially well from tight lies.

Like the driver, the internal weighting is designed to offer a more penetrating trajectory, less spin and fade bias. The head has been elongated to increase MOI by 13% to generate greater forgiveness.

The PING i15 fairway wood should suit golfers who like the trademark PING fairway wood shape and are not intimidated by a shallow face and relatively small head. This fairway wood should also appeal to those who want to shape their shots.
