The first time I came across the PING G series irons was back in 2003. At that time, PING introduced the G2 line, which consisted of several different models to cater to different players’ needs. The standard G2 model was designed for the average golfer, offering a good balance of forgiveness and playability.
In addition to the standard model, PING also released the G2 EZ irons, which were specifically designed for golfers with slower swing speeds. These clubs featured a lighter overall weight and a more flexible shaft, allowing players to generate more clubhead speed and achieve greater distance.
For the female golfers out there, PING also released a ladies version of the G2 irons. These clubs were designed with a slightly shorter shaft and a lighter overall weight to better suit the needs of female golfers.
Lastly, PING introduced the G2 HL (High Launch) irons, which were designed to help golfers get the ball airborne more easily. These clubs featured a lower center of gravity and a higher loft angle, allowing players to launch the ball higher and achieve more distance.
Following the success of the G2 line, PING released the G5 irons in 2005. These clubs continued the tradition of game-improvement features, such as perimeter weighting and a cavity back design. The G5 irons were known for their forgiveness and consistency, making them a popular choice among golfers looking to improve their game.
Two years later, in 2007, PING introduced the G10 irons. These clubs featured an even larger perimeter weighting and a wider sole, further enhancing forgiveness and playability. The G10 irons were praised for their solid feel and forgiveness on off-center hits, making them a great option for golfers of all skill levels.
Throughout the years, the PING G series irons have consistently provided golfers with game-improvement features and technology. Each new release built upon the success of its predecessor, offering golfers improved performance and playability. So whether it was the G2, G5, or G10 line, PING has certainly dominated the game-improvement iron category with its G series.
