what difference can one expect from a golf shot made with Pin G15 iron versus a Ping G5 iron?
will you get more distance, more accuracy, more control or just have less money?
The G15's are more expensive, and have a "vibration dampening" coating on the back- not that important.
Here's the G5's lofts and lie angles:
#2 18.5° 58.67°
#3 21° 59.32°
#4 24° 60.02°
#5 27° 60.75°
#6 30.5° 61.5°
#7 34° 62.28°
#8 38° 63.1°
#9 42° 63.95°
PW 46° 64.38°
UW 50° 64.38°
SW 54° 64.70°
LW 58° 65.11°
And now, the G15's:
#3 20° 59.25°
#4 23° 60°
#5 26° 60.75°
#6 29° 61.5°
#7 32° 62.25°
#8 36° 63°
#9 40° 63.75°
PW 45° 64°
UW 50° 64°
SW 54° 64.25°
LW 58° 64.5°
You should notice two things: the G5's have higher lofts and lower lie angles.
The G15's, along with every other club out there, strengthen their lofts (the 29* 6 iron in the G15's v. the 30.5* 6 iron of the G5's, for example) because that, theoretically, will increase distance. The G15's also have longer overall lengths, again, to theoretically add distance. You will also lose some control that way, and since you'd only stand to gain about 5 or so yards (maybe the same or more if you have the consistency of a robot) it really is a negligible gain.
There's a reason the G15's have higher lie angles than the G5. When a golfer's lie is too flat, the ball tends to shoot to the right; when it's too upright, it shoots to the left (assuming right-handedness). What is a golfer's common problem? A s!ice- to the right for righties. So what's one way for it to be fixed? By making the lie angles more upright. The only problem is, do you need this kind of correction, and if so, how much?
You could buy the less expensive G5s and have them retro-fitted to your swing characteristics- and still come out ahead, money-wise, than if you bought the G15's "off the rack" brand new without any measures to have them work for you. Not only will they perform better than an "off-the-rack" model, you won't suffer from buyer's remorse.
