Ping G5 Golf Iron Sets
The Ping G5 Golf Iron Set features a wide sole and perimeter weighting, enhancing stability and expanding the sweet spot for consistent performance on every swing. The Custom Tuning Port technology optimizes the center of gravity, promoting higher launch angles and improved accuracy. Constructed from 17-4 stainless steel, the G5 irons deliver a robust feel and exceptional durability. The cavity back design ensures excellent shot-making capabilities, while the elastomer inserts dampens vibrations for a softer, more responsive feel.
Key features include:
| Perimeter Weighting | Helps expand the sweet spot and increase forgiveness, leading to a more consistent performance on off-center hits. |
| Custom Tuning Port | Optimizes the center of gravity, contributing to higher launch angles and improved accuracy. |
| Cavity Back | Redistributes weight around the clubhead. It enhances forgiveness and provides stability during impact, making it easier to achieve better results even on mis-hits. |
| High Launch | Heps golfers achieve optimal trajectory and longer carries. This is particularly beneficial for players with moderate swing speeds who need assistance getting the ball airborne. |
Top Competitors
The Big Bertha irons are known for their forgiveness and ease of launch, helping you get the ball airborne for more distance and better trajectory control. Golfers like these irons for their ease of use, high launch, and forgiveness on off-center hits. The Callaway Apex DCB 21 Iron Set features a deep cavity back design with urethane microspheres for a soft feel and forgiveness on off-center hits. They are designed for mid-handicap golfers who want a balance of forgiveness, distance, and playability.
Progression of the G5 irons
Building on the design of the G2 irons, the PING G5 irons feature a wider sole and cavity back design to help high-handicap golfers have more consistent shots. The G5 also features a new cavity badge. This badge not only improves the look of the irons but also helps optimize the CG location and provides a solid feel at impact.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| I’m hitting the ball a lot straighter and my scores have improved. |
| I took these straight out on the range and what a difference! I was fading, drawing, down the middle. I hit almost 200 balls and would say 99% were spot on. |
| Super comfortable. Great feel, and pinpoint accuracy with relatively little effort. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| They feel a little delicate to me. I might snap one of the heads off the club if I duff one into the turf. |
| I have lost maybe 5-10 yards between every iron. Not for me. |
| The iron head broke after I hit a 150-yard approach shot. I hit it clean, no divots. The head just flew off. |
The G5 irons are older clubs, and the set will be more affordable compared to the newer ones. The G5s have a deep cavity back, which translates to more forgiveness. Their large head gives players lots of room for miss hits to still be hit straight. This is your set if you're a beginner golfer on a budget. They have exceptional build quality and longevity. Players report using these irons for over a decade with minimal signs of wear.
