Five things you need to know about the i500
What is it?
A players’ distance iron, with a compact head size similar to Ping’s i200. Hosel offset is the same as the iBlade, but with similar amounts of face flex as the G700 – a potent combination for tons of reasonable ball-strikers.
Face flex
By using the same forged maraging C300 face in the G400 fairways and hybrids (it’s three times stronger than the 431 stainless steel in the i200) Ping say the i500 has five times more face flex than the i200.
Logic defying
The face isn’t the only part of the i500 that flexes at impact. The top rail does, too. It allows Ping’s engineers to add stronger lofts to maximise distance, but also deliver a high, towering ball flight for an iron of this size.
They’re VERY premium
The forged faces and grooves are precision milled, ensuring shot making consistency from all lies. Ping says a new hydropearl 2.0 finish scuffs less and is better at cutting moisture between ball and grass to help eliminate fliers.
