Not every hollow-body iron is created equal, but the category continues to evolve, offering players a unique combination of speed, forgiveness, and sleek aesthetics.
Recent R&D efforts have zeroed in on beefing up ball speed retention around the sweet spot, and thanks to the precision of Golf Laboratories’ swing robot, we’re able to see which drivers are actually walking the walk.
The i240 is a true cavity-back iron that will appeal to better players. A lower centre-of-gravity position delivers a higher ball flight for more shot-stopping ability.
Ping’s G440 is something special. And when I say special, I mean it could wind up being one of the most complete lineups we’ve ever seen in the company’s storied history. Yeah, it’s that good.
Golf equipment giant Ping has thrown its weight behind LIV Golf’s all-Latin American squad, Torque GC, in a landmark team sponsorship deal that kicks off this week at LIV Golf Mexico City.
You wouldn’t think the 6,814-metre El Cardonal at Diamante course would yield to anything but a bomber, but Austin Eckroat navigated it skilfully – if without overpowering length – to capture the World Wide Technology Championship for his second win of 2024.
As with all of DeChambeau’s irons, his wedges check in at 37.5 inches in length. That’s the length of a 6 or 7-iron and 2.25 inches longer than Ping’s standard 54 or 56-degree Glide 4.0.
Ping introduces two new irons, the G730 and i530, designed for distance but geared towards different player types. The G730 is more of a game-improvement offering while the i530 serves better players seeking to regain some lost distance.
