Not every hollow-body iron is created equal, but the category continues to evolve, offering players a unique combination of speed, forgiveness, and sleek aesthetics.
Recent R&D efforts have zeroed in on beefing up ball speed retention around the sweet spot, and thanks to the precision of Golf Laboratories’ swing robot, we’re able to see which drivers are actually walking the walk.
Ping’s latest driving/utility iron, the iDi, takes aim at delivering specific ball flights for each loft – more of a driving-iron trajectory on the 2-iron while the 4-iron launches higher with more spin.
Ping’s G440 is something special. And when I say special, I mean it could wind up being one of the most complete lineups we’ve ever seen in the company’s storied history. Yeah, it’s that good.
Golf equipment giant Ping has thrown its weight behind LIV Golf’s all-Latin American squad, Torque GC, in a landmark team sponsorship deal that kicks off this week at LIV Golf Mexico City.

As with all of DeChambeau’s irons, his wedges check in at 37.5 inches in length. That’s the length of a 6 or 7-iron and 2.25 inches longer than Ping’s standard 54 or 56-degree Glide 4.0.
