I recently purchased a set of these irons and had a chance to play them twice over the weekend. Very easy to hit. In fact, the easiest club I've ever hit. Tend to fly higher than other clubs I've had or demoed. Definitely like them!

Nicest clubs I have ever hit. They have definitely taken strokes off of my game. I also bought the G15 Driver and 3 and 5 woods. They too have not dissapointed me at all. A+A+A+

I have been a Ping fan for a long time. Had a set of Ping Eye 2's and wish I still had them. Have played G2 irons for quite a while (probably a 1000 rounds on the G2's) and thought it was time for a new set. I have been playing a long time, 65 years old with a 12 handicap from the member tees.
After a considerable amount of research and hitting clubs I bought the hype and purchased the G15's. Also bought the G15 driver, 3 wood and 5 wood. Had the driver shaft replaced with the UST AXIV Regular shaft and love it. The fairway woods are great.
So that brings me to the irons. I was concerned about comments that I read online about how high the clubs hit the ball. I talked to the salesmen and even called Ping. The Ping rep said that if I liked the G2 I would love the G15. That even though they hit the ball higher, they would be longer and the ball would land softly on the green. When I got them I took them straight to the range and compared them with my G2's. They are definetly easy to hit. But I found club for club they hit the ball higher with only slight improvement in distance. Played about a dozen rounds with them prior to a trip to Kiaweh Island and must say when the wind blew I was in trouble. The higher ball trajectory resulted in a less penetrating shot into the wind with loss of distance and keeping them on line was not easy. I also found them to have a heavier feel than the G2.
I really wanted to like these clubs and played at least 25 rounds with them with multiple trips to the range. I found myself resorting to knockdown shots just to keep the ball down.
So the G15 are not for me. I could only see my HC going up with them. I took them back and they gave me credit for a future purchase. Went back to my G2's and have my old confidence back, would still like to get a new set of clubs since some of the plastic inserts on back of several clubs have fallen out. So after six months I am starting to look again.
Additional comment: the applied sticker on the back of the club looks rather cheap but a lot og the manufacturers are doing that these days. They say it helps dampening but I am skeptical.

Customer Service

As usual Ping service was great. I talked to them on the phone and the store took the back with credit for a future purchase.

These clubs are incredible. They hit very solid. When you miss, you can tell where you miss but you are not severely punished. Great game improvement clubs. I hit every GI iron under the sun before buying these and I'm 100% confident I bought the best GI clubs on the market.

Customer Service

Great reputation, but I haven't had to call them.

I won this set of irons in a tournament. They've got the Steel AWT Stiff Shafts. I'm better than scratch and there's no one who hits better irons. My friends at the club call me Flushy. I've won our club championship 6 times and should have won 10 times. I think the other guys probably cheated. Anyway, I hit lasers with these but they're not good enough for my game...a little sloppy and just a teentsy lacking in courage/timidity. I reckon them to a fleeting barsh. Grab you a set if you want some oversized irons the reward bad swings. My swing is too good for them.

Customer Service

I got them for free. I feel bad for you if you spent $800. Too bad.

These irons will make an overall difference in any person's game. At ball impact the touch is on the money. The irons will give you the confidence you need to make that shot you once had second thoughts about.

Was fitted by Edwin Watts staff for the Ping G 15 5-PW. What a difference these clubs have made in my game. Maximum forgiveness and playability not to mention distance increases of up to 5 to 8 yards per iron. I have tried several irons sets, callaway, taylormade, cleveland and by far PING is the way to go my friends. I golf at least twice a week and can't say enough about these clubs. Go out try a set and get fitted by your golf pro. These irons will make the difference.

Edwin Watts folks (FWB) and I received my PING set in two days!

I've had my set for about a month now so I'm getting used to them pretty well.
I was fitted for these by Ping reps at a tournament and it's the first time I did the fitting thing. Highly recommend this to anyone.

The first thing I noticed about these was the weight. Even with graphite shafts, they were a bit heavier than my old set and I was not sure I'd like that, but as I've played with them, I've found it to be a plus. You know where the head is and what it's doing throughout the swing.

I have no trouble getting the ball up in the air with these clubs, but I find it easy to vary trajectory and shot shape, even though, as game improvement irons, they are not supposed to be as workable as player's irons.

The big thing for me is the accuracy of these irons. I am hitting more greens and getting more reasonable birdie putts than ever before. I also have gained a few yards in distance over my old set. I was hitting the old 7 iron about 145 (150 when I really caught it right). With the G15's my seven is routinely getting 155, and when I really get into it, I've hit it 165.

I'm a 13 handicap, shoot in the 80's with the occasional upper 70's when the stars allign. I've tried several sets of irons over the last couple of years, but I think I have finally found the set for me and hope to be playing these for some time to come.

Customer Service

Outstanding. I got fitted for these at a demo site by Ping reps. Ordered just the irons I needed (6-PW) directly from Ping. The clubs were delivered several days before the estimated date I was given.
