July 30, 2015 – The new i irons are already in the bags of a number of LPGA PING pros, including Azahara Muñoz, and Alejandro Cañizares as one of the four European Tour pros who play them just now. But, what key factors has convinced this two Spanish golfers, like many others, to play the new PING i irons?

PING engineers used 431 stainless steel for its high strength-to-weight ratio and softer feel to deliver workability and trajectory control with forgiveness. Larger head sizes and low/back CG positions in the long irons offer forgiveness and distance where golfers need it most.

The smaller short irons and wedges provide precision and control. Workability comes from a head and hosel geometry that ensures trajectory control for precise shot-making. Weight savings from the 431 SS and the deeper Custom Tuning Port position allow for expanded perimeter weighting.

A tungsten toe weight in the 3 thru 7 irons increases forgiveness. An elastomer CTP weight tucks into the tuning port, which is lower on the face to align with the impact area for a more solid sound and feel.

The sole glides through the turf with ease, ensuring the solid contact required to play with control and consistency. An optimised, versatile bounce profile delivers exceptional performance in all conditions.

And the thin top rail and minimal offset create a confidence-inspiring look at address. Lengths and lofts are optimised to increase distance with proper gapping.

With two PING shaft choices and four popular after-market stock options, golfers can match a shaft to their ball flight and feel preferences.
