Our Ping i500 irons review took place following testing at Leeds Golf Centre and Rudding Park.
We gathered data using a SkyTrak launch monitor before some in-depth on-course testing.
Ping i500 irons review: First impressions
Before we get on to talking about how absolutely stunning the i500 irons look we need to clarify where their sit within Ping’s line-up.
We were told by Ping that the i500 were similar to the G700 irons but in a much more compact ‘players’ package.
So they are hollow muscleback-style irons with a very clean look, minimal offset and a fairly compact blade length.
Upon hearing that Ping were introducing a set of sleek forged irons you could be forgiven for thinking they were a replacement for the iBlade which came out a couple of years ago.
They aren’t. The need to be thought of as more of a powerful distance iron, but with a players look.
Ping have also introduced the i210 this week which are more about precision. The i500 irons are about power.
So there are now five irons in the Ping line-up. From sleekest to most forgiving we have i-Blade, i500/i210, G400, G700.
