    I have the k15 since last summer and absolutely love it. If u suffer from a slice it will help you cause the heel is weighted to help turn head over and hopefully keep it straighter. However if ur miss is a hook it will exaggerate it even more.

    Would suggest you try get your hands on a Taylormade R9, head is adjustable for either draw or fade bias. Very good club for a beginner and you should be able to pick one up for smallish money.

    Heel weighted clubs don't help turn the head over, they promote a right to left shot by changing the center of gravity and as a result gear effect.

    In essence what this means is the sweet spot is closer to the heel with center hits performing like slight toe hits in other clubs and making the ball move more right to left then the impact would have suggested. Heel shots which normally move left to right now fly straighter.

    Gear effect has a big influence on the flight of the ball and knowing your impact point on the face is crucial.

    One other alternative to consider us the Ping G30 SF Tec. As with the K15, it helps with a slice. I moved from a G25 to it and am very impressed with it.
