With the new i500, PING is entering for the first time what it would describe as the players power iron category. Like the G700 irons, the i500 irons feature a hollow-body design and will produce impressive launch and incredible ball speeds to help players hit less club into greens and get the ball closer to the hole. That said, the i500 iron also feature a compact blade shape, minimal offset, and thinner toplines and soles, all attributes valued by low-handicap players. As one might expect given that description, this is an iron that will likely find its way into the bags of a wide variety of golfers. For those, however, who are looking for similar performance but maximum forgiveness, the G700 might be a better choice, while those who want the ultimate in precision and workability will also want to consider the i210 or iBlade.
