Series Graphite Irons - Fast and Forgiving, Hit More Greens, Hold More Greens

With Ping's heat treating increasing material strength by 40% for a thinner face, Ping G Iron Set will add five yards of distance to each shot. The revolutionary design that concentrates weight in the toe and hosel increases the MOI for accuracy and consistency in your swing. Revolutionary COR-Eye Technology provides four times the amount of face flexing for consistently faster ball speeds across the hotter face. A gain in ball speed and shot height generates more carry distance and a steeper landing angle. A specialized heat treatment creates Hyper 17-4 stainless steel, allowing for thinner, faster faces to gain distance. COR-Eye Technology provides four times the face flexing for consistently faster ball speeds across the hotter face. Longer, higher results with a steeper landing angle help your shots hit and hold the green.

Ping G Series Graphite Irons Information

• The G irons have a moment of inertia (MOI), a measure of forgiveness, that is 1.5 percent higher from heel to toe, and 5 percent higher from top to bottom compared to the G30 irons.
• When comparing 7 irons, the G irons are approximately 5 yards longer than the G30 irons, according to Ping. The company’s testing of the new irons showed a ball speed increase of 1.25 mph, a 0.5-degree higher launch angle and 250 rpm less spin rate.
• Comparatively, most golfers will see even more distance from the G long irons. The distances the short irons fly will be more similar.
• The G irons are cast from 17-4 stainless steel. Their two-stage construction process takes six hours to complete, Ping says. The special heat treatment process used to make the G’s Hyper 17-4 club faces increases strength by 40 percent, compared to the G30 irons.
• To make room for the G’s increased face bending at impact, Ping pulled its CTP (custom tuning port) away from the clubface, creating a wide, deep undercut. A thicker badge in the cavity of the irons manages the added vibrations from the irons’ thinner, more flexible faces.
• The sound of the G irons is a cross between the company’s G Max and G30 irons. “The acoustics tell you there is more speed,” said Marty Jertson, Senior Design Engineer for Ping.
• At address, the G irons appear to have thinner toplines than the G30 irons. While the width of the toplines is essentially the same, they were given a bevel that makes them appear about one-third thinner. The irons also have a slightly different toe shape, with a low toe that has been extended, and a higher peak.
• Ping made the soles of the G irons slightly wider, but they play effectively thinner because of sole relief added to the back of the sole.
• Ping’s G irons debut the company’s new AWT 2.0 shafts, made by Nippon, which have an ascending-weight design. In the R flex, shaft weights range from approximately 95 grams (4 iron) to 105 grams (wedges). In the S flex, weights range from 100-110 grams. In the X flex, the weights range from 115-123 grams.

Ping G Series Graphite Irons Technology

• COR-Eye Technology: This unique structure involves the entire face in flexing for consistently faster speeds across the hotter face. The increase in speed and shot height generates distance and a steep landing angle so shots hit the green and hold the green.
• Enhanced Sound, Feel: An enlarged multi-material damping badge joined to the cavity works with COR-Eye Technology to provide exceptional sound and feel.
• Perimeter Weighting: Weight saved from the face was allocated to the low toe and perimeter, creating a high MOI for extreme forgiveness.
• CTP Elevates Launch: Connecting the Custom Tuning Port to the sole creates a deeper CG that helps elevate the launch angle while increasing MOI for greater forgiveness.
• AWT 2.0 Shaft Innovation: PING’s proprietary Ascending Weight Technology shafts improve performance through an optimal combination of physics and feel. They get heavier as they progress from the long irons to the short irons and wedge. Lighter long-iron shafts help square the clubface, increase clubhead speed, and optimize flight for distance and accuracy. Heavier short iron/wedge shafts improve trajectory control and feel.
