Ping i525 irons review: The technology
This is a player’s distance iron, so the keys for Ping were to increase speed and length but also keep some workability and feel.
A new ballistic face design has been combined with a polymer insert to provide better feel and sound and well as increasing speed.
The overall shaping has a compact, player’s-style design with extreme weighting to help to preserve ball speed on off-centre strikes. This will give you more consistent distance and improved accuracy. Ping have achieved through tungsten weights in the toe and shaft tip weights as well as a tiered, dynamic face structure.
The managing steel face is extremely strong which allows for a thinner variable-thickness structure. Internally the sole is undercut to increase flexing to help launch shots faster and higher.
Behind the club face is a EVA polymer which has been precisely positioned to improve the sound and feel at impact while making sure the club face still gets maximum face deflection.
On the club face the groove pattern has been precision milled to allow for tighter spacing. Across the iron set this sees an average of four more grooves per face. This is going to improve your spin and distance consistency by preventing fliers with the short irons and keeping your spin up with the long irons.
The hydropearl 2.0 chrome finish also repels water to increase consistency in all weather conditions.
The irons are also available in a power spec loft which are 1.5° stronger than the standard offering for golfers looking for more distance.
