These irons have the distinctive Ping look that many golfers find attractive. The sizeable undercut cavity should inspire confidence in high handicappers of clean, crisp striking. The centre of gravity has been moved away from the face to offer a stronger ball flight and a wider sole should lend itself to a more forgiving strike.
