The i15 driver is a good looking driver. While the sometimes controversial "half moon alignment aid lives on, it is a smaller, more subdued version of the one found on the earlier G-series models. I can live with it just fine, and I sure do dig the dark menacing look of this driver.

PING states that the i15 is for the player seeking "traditional look and feel" in a driver. Sitting on the rack in the golf shop, the i15 doesn't exactly scream traditional look, and a few hits in the cage will confirm that the i15 does not feel all that much like persimmon, either. Clearly, traditional has more to do with the pear-shape of the i15 than its size. It would be true to say that the i15 driver looks slightly more "traditional" than the G-15 and most other drivers on the market today.

The i15 driver has a hotter sweet spot by a few yards although it is not as lively across the entire face as the G15 driver. This way the better golfer gets more feedback in his hands when he does not strike the ball dead center, which tells him how and where he is striking the club face more easily. Where with the G15 you could not be striking the ball as well but still feel as though you had struck pay dirt on the face. With the i15 driver you know exactly where on the face it was struck by the feel and ball flight pattern.  And this is the main reason why every single digit handicapper we tested thought it was the better driver in their opinion.

In terms of forgiveness, I found the i15 driver to do a good job on my off center hits. Is it the most forgiving driver on the market, no. But the caliber of golfer the i15 is designed for will be just fine. If you need a more forgiving driver, Ping has other models like the G15 or Rapture V2 that can help.

Overall, I was really impressed with the Ping i15 driver and how easy it is to produce medium-high trajectory drives that went long and straight. The i15 driver is a great club for a player who wants workability and distance off the tee.
