Great Hybrid. High towering shots !

[A V Twiss]

Of the many hybrids I have owned (Taylormade, Sonartec, Cobra Baffler, Hogan CFT, Cleveland Launcher) The G15 is the easiest to hit and best performing of all. The Cobra Bafflers were a close second. I have three, in 17, 20 and 23 degree lofts. My favorite is the 23 degree. It delivers impressive performance, even out of the rough and low lipped fairway bunkers. The 20 and 23 give a high flight pattern and soft landing that make them ideal for long approach shots. The 17 is more penetrating giving a bit of run on landing. The 17 is also an excellent driving club on tight par 4s and long par 3s.

When hit well my 23* was awesome. Long, high, straight. It was a hook machine though. I mean off the planet hooks.

Just demoing a 20* and tbh for 1 down right ugly looking club, I've never know a club to be so easy to hit. Great off the tee, from the fairway and rough. Its going to fill the gap between my 5 wood and 4 iron perfectly. Utterly blown away. How long will the honeymoon last?

Having lived with it for a year I am now finding that I hook the 23 degree quite badly off a tee peg and get a "power draw" with the 20 degree. I have been working on my game and now hit the ball with a much better release than I did a year ago. I am beginning to wonder if the generous offset is beginning to assert itself too much. Any thoughts anyone?

Easy to hit from just about any lie. You can sweep or dig this club as needed and the result is a nice high shot with a soft landing. I have the 23 degree hybrid and will be getting the 20 degree before springtime for long par threes and driving on tight holes. I actually like the look of the club and just think of it as an easy to hit long iron. It goes great with my G15 irons, of course.

Just picked up the 20 and 23*, these are super easy to hit, I mean they are REALLY SUPER EASY to hit! Beware they are very upright, I genally play irons that are upright so these work well for me, some might say these hook a lot, but I find that hooking is not the issue, beware of the pull however. They actually have a lot of toe weighting so they are not hook biased but the upright lie will cause a pull if you are not paying attention, the new G20's do have a flatter lie angle and I think all models can be bent a bit by Ping.

I find that all shots are solid high and straight, draws are easy to hit and I can work it right as well, for whatever reason these just work well for me, using them 3 rounds now I have yet to hit a really bad shot with one, the 23* may be my favorite club in my bag right now, works great from the fairway, rough, bump and runs, punch outs from the trees, I can knock it down and hit a low burning spinner if I choose, I see these in my bag for a long time.

I am a serial hooker but I haven't found that I hook my 31 degree G15 hybrid. Perhaps the loft minimises the hook, but I find I can hit mine with slice just as often. The main thing is I tend to get a decent contact when I use the G15 and it is my most consistent club for distance. Even with the 31 degree G15 I hit between 150 - 170 metres.
