Materials
Tungsten sole weight (22% mass, 16% volume). Titanium face (13% mass, 21% volume). 17-4 stainless steel body (65% mass, 63% volume,) Elastomer CTP insert.
Technology Benefits
Oversized, maximum forgiveness iron. Lightweight titanium face frees weight which is re-allocated on the wider sole in the form of tungsten to position CG for higher launch and increased MOI.
High launch angles allow for stronger lofts to increase distance without sacrificing control. Deeper CustomTuning Port (CTP) with elastomer insert stabilises face for solid feel and consistent response across the club face.

Fitting Variables
Lie angle (12 color codes), shaft flex/type, shaft length, grip size/type and swingweight
Priced at US$165 per iron w/steel shaft. US$195 per iron w/graphite shaft.

These irons are just great! They feel solid, are forgiving and very well balanced. beyond that, unlike the V1’s, these look good too! Ping have tweaked the lofts of each iron due the increase in high generated by the club’s design. (As opposed to Taylor Made’s huge changes to lofts that effectively change a 7 iron to be a 6 iron by any other name.)
On top of that the Ping fitting system is comprehensive and caters for subtle differences in each golfer. a must if you are serious about the game.
