Since its founding in 1959 by Karsten Solheim, Ping Golf has featured two things as its foundation: innovation and custom fitting, and in 2024, the brand’s iron offerings continue to reflect those ideals.
Ping has worked to create and manufacture clubs in new ways, like the special forgiving process used to make the Clubprint S and the development of the unique back badge on the G430. At the same time, the five irons that are currently at the heart of the Ping stable — Blueprint T, Blueprint S, i530, G430 and G730 — are made with specific player types in mind but their attributes often overlap. For example, a fast-swinging mid-handicap player might like certain things about the Blueprint S and the i530, and a slower-swinging golf could get benefits from both the G430 and the G730. That’s by design and it gives golfers and custom fitters options and choices based on a player’s preferences and specific needs.
The guide below is intended to give you an idea of what each current Ping iron is designed to do and what type of player Ping had in mind when it created the club. It’s a starting point, not a finish line, but this list can help you discover which Ping irons might be best suited for your game.
