subject: Review on the Latest Ping G10 Iron [print this page] The G10 Irons are an all stainless steel irons which is going back to what made the G lineup popular. The Rapture, a composite/titanium hybrid wood did not live up to the hype in my opinion and was very expensive. The first thing you see when you set the G10 down is one, it keeps a fairly similar look to the G5 irons, with some improvements to its weighting. The main thing to keep in mind with these irons are that they are built for forgiveness first.
The Ping G10 irons are engineered from 17-4 stainless steel with extreme low toe weighting to increase the moment-of-inertia for added forgiveness and consistency. The large, perimeter-weighted head of the Ping G10 irons feature a new cavity shape and wider sole. The center of gravity is positioned away from the face and low in the club head to promote higher launching, lower spinning shots. By creating a new shape for the Custom Tuning Port (CTP), Ping engineers stabilized the hitting area for consistent ball velocity across the club face. An elastomer CTP insert helps produce a solid feel and sound. The Ping G10 irons have a wide sole that provides forgiving ground impact and contributes to the high launch characteristics of the iron. The standard steel shaft is the new PING-designed Ascending Weight Technology (AWT) series. In the new series, the long iron shafts are lighter than the short irons shafts to produce a set that provides the golfer consistent weight progression from driver (the lightest shaft in the bag) through the wedges (the heaviest shaft in the bag). The new shafts help increase club head speed in the long irons and add control and consistency to the short irons.
