Ever since Ping launched their first set of irons back in 1969, the company has consistently strived to create clubs suited to a wide variety of golfers. Back in 1969, they revolutionized irons by enabling them to be customized to the preference of each golfer.<\/p>\n

This trend continues with the brand\u2019s G25 irons, which they claim are ideal for golfers of all abilities. In this post, we will conduct a Ping G25 irons review, to see if the brand\u2019s statement is true or off the mark.<\/p>\n

What To Consider Before Buying a Set Of Irons<\/h2>\n

Long Irons vs Hybrids<\/h3>\n

Before you choose a set of irons, it is worth assessing whether you will play better with long irons or hybrids. The average golfer typically finds it easier to get the ball airborne with hybrids compared to long irons.<\/p>\n

Consider swapping out the long iron for hybrids for more forgiveness and a higher launching shot. Hybrids typically contain low and back CG, with perimeter weighting for optimal forgiveness across the face. Hybrids also deliver superior turf interaction to promote a cleaner strike from any lie.<\/p>\n

Blades vs Cavity Backs<\/h3>\n

The next factor to consider is whether blades or cavity backs<\/a> are better suited to your swing and ball-striking abilities. True Spec Golf’s, Tim Briand<\/a>, says he doesn\u2019t know any club fitter that would recommend blades to a player with a handicap higher than ten.<\/p>\n

The reason for that is due to the lack of forgiveness and difficulty to launch those irons.<\/p>\n

Cavity back irons typically contain more game improvement features that are easy to launch, offer increased forgiveness, and deliver consistent distance. Although I would recommend cavity backs to any golfer, mid to high handicappers will derive the most value from these clubs.<\/p>\n

Shaft<\/h3>\n

The shaft you choose will impact your ball flight and the ability to achieve consistent carry and distance. Essential elements to consider when looking at shafts are length and flex.<\/p>\n

You can see what shaft length is right for you in our post on longer golf clubs<\/a>. However, I will briefly break down shaft flex.<\/p>\n

Golf.com\u2019s Zephyr Melton recommends that you play with an extra stiff shaft if you swing a 6-iron above 92mph. He further states that swing speeds between 84-91mph work best with a stiff shaft, while 75 to 83 mph, is built for a regular flex shaft.<\/p>\n

If your swing speed is below 75 mph, you should test out a seniors flex, and if that is still too stiff, you can always resort to a ladies\u2019 flex.<\/p>\n

Forgiveness<\/h3>\n

Most of us average golfers struggle to strike the ball in the sweet spot consistently. As a result, we don\u2019t always end up on the fairway. That leads to a loss of distance and leaves us in trouble for the next shot.<\/p>\n

That is why I suggest acquiring irons with an enhanced sweet spot to delivers maximum forgiveness.<\/p>\n

Workability<\/h3>\n

Superior golfers who are confident in their ball-striking abilities may be happy to relinquish forgiveness in exchange for workability. If the need to induce a draw or fade is high on your priorities list, you should consider players irons or blades as they are also known.<\/p>\n

Distance<\/h3>\n

If you are happy with reduced forgiveness but are not ready to play muscle-back irons. It is worth testing out players\u2019 distance irons. They deliver maximum distance. However, it lacks shot-stopping on longer shots into the green.<\/p>\n
