PING Mens i15 Irons

Back:

● The cavity design features dual stabilizing bars and a new Custom Tuning Port shape to support the face for a solid feel and sound across the hitting surface.

● The CG is optimized to provide the trajectory control preferred by better players.

Setup:

The longer irons are larger for more forgiveness while the mid- and short-irons transition slightly smaller to ensure more workability and control on approach shots.

Face:

Soft, durable stainless steel club heads.

Sole:

Offers superior control to play a variety of shots

Toe:

● Multi-metal design features a dense tungsten toe weight

● Helps increase the moment of inertia in the stainless steel head which offers workability with cavity back forgiveness

● PING ID8

● Soft rubber grip with dog-bone texture that offers enhanced control

Shafts:

Pros: PING put a lot of technology into an iron that should appeal to most low-to-mid handicappers. The i15s are probably the most balanced irons PING has produced and provides seamless performance from three iron through pitching wedge.

Cons: Following in the idea of the Rapture V2 irons, PING is now leaning toward gaudier clubs that are apparently designed to have a definite shelf life. These are not designed to be classics.

Titleist AP2 Irons

The Titleist AP2 Irons’ high-tech, multi-material construction features a steel body, tungsten nickel sole, elastomer bar and aluminum cavity plate. AP2 Irons is built to deliver both performance and feel. The dual cavity design of the Titleist AP2 irons pushes weight to the perimeter for forgiveness. A central cross member featuring a soft elastomer cushion provides structural rigidity behind the impact area while also dampening face vibration for better overall feel. The lower cavity of the AP2 irons is enclosed by a tungsten nickel box. This high-density material locates the weight low and deep while providing structural rigidity and low frequency vibration dampening for outstanding solid feel. The tungsten nickel box helps reduce the sole and back flange width for better turf performance and shot control.

Titleist AP2 irons provide a comfortable and confidence-inspiring appearance in the set up position with a traditional blade profile and hosel junction. The metallic back cavity plate contributes to the AP2’s great looks and bag appeal.

Features:

Multi-material, dual cavity, technically forged

Advanced performance with a traditional solid feel and looks provide shot control for the skilled player (handicap 5-9)
