Best Ping Irons 2025
Ping i240 irons
The Ping i240 irons really are a standout entry in the players’ distance category, offering a rare blend of precision, feel, and forgiveness. With smarter weight distribution, revamped grooves, and improved launch characteristics, they make a strong case for inclusion in the bags of all mid to low-handicap golfers.
They are the perfect bridge between Ping’s tour-grade Blueprints and their more club golfer friendly G-series. These are irons built for consistent ball-strikers and produce plenty of spin and height to attack those greens and pins.
Pros:
- Excellent spin and height control, especially from mid to long irons
- Top-tier forgiveness with minimal drop-off on off-centre hits
- Ideal for consistent ball-strikers who don’t want to sacrifice feel for forgiveness
Cons:
- None

Ping G440 irons
A set of irons most club golfers can be benefit from. The Ping G440 irons are quality game-improvement irons presented in a player’s performance appearance. A sleek design not often associated with more forgiving irons but a one that is appealing to a lot of golfers.
Combined with their great looks these irons also produce solid distances, plenty of forgiveness and feel amazing on each strike. Ping have really done an exceptional job in the development of the latest G series release to incorporate fantastic game-improvement performance in a compact profile.

Overall, if you are a high to a mid handicap golfer I would 100% recommend you try the Ping G440 irons. They look great in the bag, a nice profile behind the ball and the performance is undeniable. There’s plenty of spin and height to offer exceptional control on approach shots but they also produce loads of distance to get there.
In my opinion, they will do nothing but make your life easier on the course and help you to score lower. So get out and give them a go.
Pros:
- Incredibly consistent
- Great feel
- Easy to launch and very forgiving
Cons:
- None

There was definitely more forgiveness in these than I expected. I especially liked the fact that even on slightly low-on-the-face strikes, I still got enough distance to get the ball to the green. The consistency of my distance was a lot better than I would have expected with the size of these irons, which is obviously important when you are firing into greens.
These were carrying 126.5 yards on average in my simulator testing, which is a tad shy of the 133 yards I would generally get out of my 9-iron, but nothing that couldn’t be fixed with a slight loft tweak.
Overall, I was really impressed with these irons. I knew they would be good in terms of control and workability, but I was concerned about if they would fly far enough to be potential gamers.
Pros:
- Great compact-looking golf club
- Really workable
- Good forgiveness relative to size
Cons:
- Just suits the better player market

Our irons testing starts with the 9 iron and I hit five shots that basically landed on top of each other. With a perfect 20-degree launch with 8500rpm of spin, I would be in danger of hitting shots that stop and spin back with these irons, which is something I rarely do. I was impressed at the ball speed and carry these irons produce, for a blade for me 137 yards is pretty solid.
My 5 iron shots carried an average of 185, which is perfect gapping, and again, the Blueprint T irons gave me perfect launch conditions. I really like Ping’s precision milling on the face and grooves, as this really helps me keep the ball up in the air as a natural lowball player.
Overall, I was really impressed with these irons. I knew they would be good in terms of control and workability, but I didn’t know they would feel so good and put out such impressive launch monitor data for a forged blade. These could go straight into my bag as gamers for 2024.
Pros:
- Great compact-looking golf club
- Really workable
- Competitive distance numbers
Cons:
- Do not miss hit!

Ping i230 irons
Reviewed by Hannah Holden
I can’t get over how much sleeker these look than the previous i210 irons from Ping. The whole club head looks so much more modern and stylish and I also like the overall more compact shaping.
Before Ping released the new i230 model, they were already racking up wins on tour. Straight away when I started hitting these I loved the soft, yet solid, sound and feel and could see why they have ended up in the bags of numerous tour players. It is quite surprising how players like these feel even with the slightly larger sizing.
Across the board, I had a consistent high ball flight. This was great for stopping the ball on the green but into the wind, it sometimes felt slightly excessive.
Overall this was a seriously enjoyable iron to hit. I found I didn’t want to stop testing as the towering ball flight, with its impressive control, was really fun to hit. For players who crave a club that allows them to use their touch and feel and be creative, this is a great option. But also there is an added level of forgiveness that you wouldn’t expect this type of iron to deliver.
Pros:
- Eye-catching to players
- Good workability
- Great spin control
Cons:
- Not the longest irons

The irons look great in the bag, let alone behind the ball, but you know they are also working really hard for you in terms of the tech.
Having carried my i500s for over three years, I felt like I was ready for a change. While these clubs remain a fantastic fit for me on the launch monitor, I was aware that the feel was a touch harsher than I would ideally like. Sure enough, when I went to Ping HQ at Gainsborough for a fitting, the i500s were doing pretty much everything they should but when I switched to the i525 sample, there was an immediate change of sound and a more buttery feel.
If you’re looking for an iron that is aimed at the better player with appealing aesthetics but you also value forgiveness, then it’s hard to look past the i525s.
Pros:
- Gorgeous finish and appealing head shape
- Hot off the face on the longer irons
- Low-spinning flight that stops your iron shots ballooning in the wind
Cons:
- Some players may find the spin rates a little too low to maximise carry
