First Look – PING i and GMax Irons

As we move into summer and creep towards fall, golf’s equipment hot stove is beginning to bubble.

Despite PING’s reputation playing it close to the vest until the very last minute, details about its fall lineup are starting to leak.

Sources outside the company are telling us PING has 3 2 significant new product offerings assumed to be for late summer/early fall release.

PING i Irons

The suggestion is that PING will try and reinvigorate the franchise with what can be thought of as its next generation i-series iron that is likely a direct replacement for the i25.

One potentially interesting bit of info: the i (“E1” won’t be part of the final release) is rumored to come stock with PING’s CFS distance shaft, which some will no doubt find a curious choice for what should be regarded as a more player-centric iron.

 

PING GMax Irons

The SF Tec (figuratively) of the G-series iron franchise, the GMax looks to be the evolution of the Karsten iron (and the K-series that came before it). It should prove to be your super game-improvement option from PING.

The G-Series is, across the board, the strength of the PING lineup, so what you’re seeing along with the new product is a bit of a re-branding effort/unification effort. Consumers love the G-Series, so why not embrace that and expand the lineup?
