Ping G and I Irons Review
By S. Dee Davis
The G series Ping is very forgiving and has an average of .66 bounce width. This provides stability, forgiveness and distance. The G series has a slightly larger, more forgiving face than the I series. The G is just on the light side for me, but it’s great for medium to higher handicappers that want a nice club. The I is more heavily weighted toward the sole of the club and the face is smaller and it is made of a harder 431 steel to provide that buttery soft feel upon connection with the sweet spot. Distance was average to long with the G series, but there is a ton of good technology built in. The G series irons are heat treated using a specialized process that creates a strong steel Ping calls Hyper 17-4. The idea here is that they can provide a thinner face that gives more bounce and thus more distance and trajectory.
