The new Ping i525 irons, which replace the i500 irons released in 2018, were designed for accomplished golfers who prefer the look of a better-player iron but are seeking the distance enhancement of game-improvement clubs. To make that happen, Ping’s designers had to be clever and add some new technologies without creating visual distractions.
