What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the G2 is 34.3° and the G15 is 32°, a 2.3° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the G15 should carry roughly 7 to 9 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the G2. Across the 11 clubs both sets share, the G15 averages 1.3° stronger, with the largest gap at the 9-iron (42.5° vs 40°). The pitching wedges are 47° and 45°; the stronger one leaves a 5° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping. Beyond loft, the G15 7-iron sits 0° flatter (62.28° vs 62.25°), which nudges start direction slightly right for a right-hander.
Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Perimeter-weighted cavity backs with wider soles, more offset and stronger lofts, aimed at mid handicaps. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
Both heads are listed as investment cast. With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.
There are 6 years between these sets (2003 and 2009), more than one design generation. Over that time irons moved toward stronger lofts, thinner and faster faces, hollow and multi-material heads and wider use of tungsten, so the newer set is not simply a better version of the older one: it may launch and spin quite differently. Here the 7-iron loft moved from 34.3° to 32°.
Which should you choose?
The G15 is the stronger-lofted set — up to 2.5° stronger than the G2 on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Ping G2 stronger lofted than the G15?
No. The G15 is the stronger-lofted set: its 7-iron is 32° against 34.3° for the Ping G2, 2.3° stronger and worth roughly 7 to 9 yards of extra carry.
What is the loft difference between the Ping G2 and G15?
At the 7-iron the difference is 2.3° (34.3° vs 32°). The largest gap on a shared club is 2.5° at the 9-iron, and 9 of the 11 shared clubs differ.
Are the Ping G2 and G15 aimed at the same golfer?
Yes. Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.
Do the Ping G2 and G15 have the same lie and length?
Not exactly. At the 7-iron the Ping G2 is 62.28° lie and 36.75 inches, the G15 62.25° and 36.75 inches. Both can be bent or built to your own fit.
