All New PING i Series Irons<\/p><\/div>\n

Ever since technology began invading golf a generation ago, the holy grail of club engineers has been to exorcise the demons of the devilishly hard-to-hit long irons. First came the hybrids, brandishing the comforting confidence of wood head with the loft of an iron, whose sole mission was to oust long irons from the bag and into the back of the garage for most players.<\/p>\n

However, just because you happen to be a good golfer doesn’t mean longer irons are easy to hit. Ask Lee Westwood. He’s a good golfer\u2014the best in the world for a while\u2014but he was still looking for long irons with more forgiveness and a touch higher ball flight than could be wrested from a traditional blade.<\/p>\n

A New PING Line<\/h2>\n

Enter the PING i series. PING, which has always been at the vanguard of club technology since Karsten Solheim pioneered perimeter weighting, has long produced two lines of clubs. Their iconic player-development clubs for higher handicappers have integrated into the G Series, while better players, including PING’s stable of touring pros like Westwood and Bubba Watson, wield the blade-style, more workable S Series.<\/p>\n

Into the netherworld between the two steps the i Series, which wants to be both. PING<\/a> began testing these in-between waters a few years back with an i15 line, and this year the category has morphed into the just plain old i series.<\/p>\n
