Above, Golf Monthly Editor Michael Harris gives his Ping i25 irons review.

The Ping i25 irons – part of a range including the i25 driver and i25 fairway woods and hybrids – are designed to promote greater consistency, accuracy and length.

The i25 irons are engineered for different skill levels with technology that provides versatility and forgiveness. Each 17-4 stainless steel head has a specific function with regard to the centre of gravity, the bounce, and the offset.

The long irons have bigger heads and wider soles, which aid in getting the ball airbourne. The mid irons and wedges are more compact with thinner top rails and narrower soles to promote lower ball flight for precision on the greens.

The custom tuning port (CTP) sits lower in the head to locate the CG low to optimize launch conditions. A tungsten-toe weight elevates the MOI, stabilising the head on mis-hit shots.

Dual-stabilizing bars are narrow in the long irons, but wider in the short irons.

The narrow bars increase ball velocity and spin, producing a higher trajectory and greater distance, whereas the wider bars in the short irons decrease face deflection generating lower-trajectory shots with far more control

Four wedges round out the Ping i25 iron set.

The pitching wedge is designed for finesse shots, while the gap, sand, and lob wedges have a slightly longer hosel.

This allows the centre of gravity to be positioned higher and further forward for a lower trajectory, with additional spin for better control and consistency.

The i25 irons are made with game improvers and mid-handicappers in mind, and the technology on offer should get the players in this group get the most from their games.

They went on sale in February 2014 with an RRP of £90 per club (with a steel shaft).
