Ping K15
Ping golf drivers are well-known to advertise quicker golf ball velocity over the clubface. To this end, the K15 features a big face profile and higher moment of inertia (MOI). K15's meat and potato's, however, is always to assist players rotate the face to a more square impact placement and, consequently, strike straighter golf shots. The clubhead attempts to "square up" dynamically (while you swing) thanks partly to a meaty, heel-side exterior pad across the sole.
At this point, for golfers that merely wish to nail their golf ball as far and also as straight as you can, Nike offers the K15.
When Ping's golf club developers and technical engineers, which includes Vice President John K. Solheim, made a decision to create a brand new max game-improvement golf driver, they noticed that a majority of of the golf clubs currently available on the market possess closed clubfaces. This made sense due to the fact numerous players searching for max game-improvement drivers tend to be slicers.
"But what we thought these players really wanted was to aim at a target and hit the ball in that direction," Solheim stated. "So when we designed the K15, that's what we had in mind. Let's just create a driver that is really easy to hit straight."

The main element to creating a new max game-improvement driver is Ping's Straight Flight technological know-how, that is basically a weight situated close to the club heel which induces the face to square during impact.
"As you start to swing down, the weight wants to rotate the clubhead and close it to square," said Solheim. "The nice thing is that the K15 doesn't have a draw face or a closed head, so it really doesn't want to go past the square position. It really just wants to go back to square and stay there."
To reduce the golf club's center of gravity (CG) and assist players in launching their ball in the air with less effort, the crown of the K15 was developed particularly thin. In certain areas it's nearly the thickness of two business cards.
"We've tried other stuff, but we keep coming back to the traditional shape that's been evolving since the Ping G2 driver," Solheim said. "We've been pretty successful with that shape and haven't seen a big reason to go too far from it."
Even though the K15 as well as the G15 tend to be 460cc heads, K15 plays much bigger. "It's got a larger profile when you look down at it," Solheim points out. "It's face is also larger."
