Our Review:

Iron technology for today’s better players deftly balances two pressing needs: precision and power. The good news is that Ping has a solution that addresses both in one iron. A hollow body and high-strength, maraging-steel face allows for five times the face flex at impact compared to a standard cast iron. That leads to distance increases, because not only does the ball launch faster off the face, but the face bends in a way that launches shots higher. Read more >>

Player Comments
  • high
    You can feel the forgiveness. Has a consistent sound at impact on mis-hits as well as pure strikes.
  • low
    These stand out in how they handle mediocre lies. The leading edge just makes its own path with no problem.
  • mid
    Really has the wow factor. Great looks. Probably the longest iron out here. Feel is a nice soft feel for such a powerful club.
