August 11, 2015 – It is one of the latest innovative iron models coming from PING. The new GMax iron introduces COR-Eye Technology, a revolutionary design that increases flexing across the entire face for faster ball speeds that produce unprecedented distance and forgiveness. We take a look inside it, to help you know how it works.

PING engineered its longest, straightest iron ever by utilising COR-Eye Technology, which simultaneously activates the sole, face, and top rail to increase ball speed up to 3 mph over previous PING models, providing greater distance with control.

COR-Eye creates a faster ball speed that is constant across the entire face, so even off-centre strikes deliver longer, straighter results. A new cavity structure houses a concealed Custom Tuning Port that connects to the sole.

With this deeper position and wider sole, each iron’s centre of gravity is moved lower and further back to increase the MOI for more forgiveness, accuracy and consistency.

Distance-generating lengths and lofts are optimised for efficient gapping with the distance control and high trajectory needed to hit and hold more greens. An enhanced leading edge, more trailing edge relief and refined bounce help optimise turf interaction.

The 4- thru 8-iron faces are heat treated using a specialised process that strengthens the material by approximately 40%, creating a Hyper-17-4 alloy and allowing the face to be thinner for greater flexing and faster ball speeds.

Longer blade lengths and increased offset maximise forgiveness and ensure a higher max shot height. The set has a unique swingweight progression where the 4, 5 and 6 irons have lighter swingweights to help square the face at impact, creating faster ball speeds for longer, straighter shots.
