Love this driver ! I found it more forgiving than the g15 and much easier to turn over.

Was hitting this the other day along side the G15, Burner 2.0, and Cleveland XL270. Found it very forgiving and quite long.

If you want to hit it straight this is the driver to buy. Distance is very good also.

I love this driver, I find it easy to shape, ok so it sits a little closed but I just grip it so it is open slightly and hit draw after draw down the middle, cracking club & well done ping

Its by far and away the easiest driver to hit that I have found. Yeah it may not look the coolest, but the middle of the fairway and LONG sure is cool!

Its also not as much as a hook machine as others may think... i'm also able to play a controlled fade with mine (but not the slice that it would be with any other club!)

[dawgfan03]

Great driver ! I hit it straighter than the g15. It is not a hook machine, but turns over more easily.

I need one of these!!

[txoutback]

I want this stick.

[mwgolfpro]

I have one of these with a factory installed ($120 upcharge) Project X 6.5 shaft, 45.75 inches long. A real low spin bomber! If anyone is interested, pm me.

I got my K15 10.5 left hand reg stock shaft after reading raves about it here and elsewhere on the internet.
The reason I got it
1. First - I need a fairway finder. I play on narrow Korean hilly courses with ob's sticks on the edge of the rough.
2. I slice too often.

I've used it two times. One time at the range, and one time at the course.

Got it and went to the range. Of 100 balls, 5 slices. 5 fades, 10 hooks, 5 slight hooks. The 75 rest dead straight and high & long. Wow. And it gave me 30m more distance. I guess my old Diablo Edge does not fit me.....
The sweet spot on this is huge. Also, I could whack it much harder than with my old driver without gettin' punished. All in all very pleased.

On the course the day after. Stong wind and 20C.
Started out with 4 straight dead center fairway hits. Launch is high and penetrating, og not much roll because of the high launch. Did not have much trouble with facewind as I just tee'd lower and smacked it. Longest drive 265m. My longest drive ever. I still failed on the tee, but with smash mishits right. During the day I had not a single slice. For me that was pleasing, even though I mishitted to OB's still.

Impressed with this driver, as I feel I can smack it without being punished with the dreadful ob slice. It just want to go where you point with a high and penetrating ball flight.

Funny, I have to do the exact same thing, All other drivers I have to close the face a bit. I got fitted for this driver and I hit it a ton.

Are you guys thinking about upgrading the shafts? I just got my K15 recently but haven't had the time to try it out! Im excited!

[Eck42]

I love this driver. When it first came out I wanted to try it, but I stuck with the TaylorMade Supertri and then a month ago I switched to the R11-just for the fun of it. Recently I finally got the chance to try the K15 and for me it is the best driver I've ever hit (except for the Tour Burner that I ruined by thinking I needed to reshaft it). This club has taken away my always present litle fade. It is dead straight and longer than the Supertri or R11-for me. I don't know if this is a club for the very low handicap, but IMO I think there are many who might benefit from this driver. Played 9 holes with it yesterday and besides using a 5W on one par 4, I was 6 for 6 in the fairway in using this and because of the help off the tee I shot 2-over. That is very good for me.

If you are looking for something straight with excellent distance give this a try. It is a fantastic club!

Got this driver mid summer 2011 in 12* stiff. It was the straightest hitting driver I ever had. Then, someone stole my golf bag and clubs from my garage. Decided to get the G20 driver to replace my K15.. Great driver, but for me, the K15 was more reliable. So, sold the G20 and am back with the K15. It is what I call a happy ending.

[phil75070]

I just got the K15 after going through a thorough fitting. I tried the Ping G15 with both the stock TFC and the Serrano shaft, the G20 with both the stock TFC and the Tour shaft, the TM R11 in both 9* and 10.5* and the Cobra S3 and Cobra S3 Special Edition (White head). The K15 9.5* gave me optimal launch conditions in both launch angle and spin, had the best dispersion and was the longest though the Cobra S3 (stock version) wasn't far off in distance. I also benefited from the fact that they had to take one off the floor and tape it up so I was able to buy the very same club I tested vs testing a demo and buying a different club with supposedly the same specs.

Ball flight was pretty penetrating with a consistent "baby" draw. I am anxious now to get it out on the course tomorrow.

[playmuch]

i have just demo'ed this club. Tried the 9.5 with stock stiff. I was a little worried at first because i am a scratch golfer who misses left. Everyone said dont try it but i wanted the most forgiving driver out there. Its definitly hotter than my current TM supertri with adila rip alpha and whats more i have not hit 1 ball left. It might find my bag on a full time basis.

[hammer1]

This driver is so long and straight when you just swing nice and easy. I have a slower than average swing and am using the stock graphite shaft (cut down 1/2 inch) with a Ping ID 8 full cord grip, which I highly recommend. I am hitting way more fairways now and have gained at least 20 yards on my average drives. If I put a really good swing on it the distance jumps another 15 yards. I am hitting shorter irons into the green and giving myself more birdie chances as a result. So glad I got this club--can't see switching for something else (maybe I should buy another one to save for when my current driver dies). A must have driver for anyone who fades or slices the ball and wants to hit it straighter.

[BigBomber]

The K15 is a club speciall designed for begginers, it's VERY straight but for a good stricker this could be a little soft a friend of mine bought it and he developed a lot his ball striking and launching.

[dstoepfel]

Picked this up in a 10.5 with a regular flex TFC shaft. I thought it was pretty decent. Definitely forgiving and thought it worked well with a smooth swing. The only thing I didn't like was the head felt a bit dead not a lot of feedback.

[jwilly]

I love this driver. I find that it is very forgiving and long! I also upgraded the shaft to a project x 65g shaft. I would highly recommend this driver for anyone looking for Distance. The only negative to the driver is the sound on impact is a lot louder than any of the Taylormade or Callaway drivers that I am accustomed to playing with.
