PING launches two new iron ranges
Last Thursday was the official launch of the new PING i irons and the new GMax iron range. These irons are aimed at different golfers with the GMax iron offering unbelievable distance with a high trajectory for those firm greens, while the new I series irons are a players iron that any level of golfer can use. This is thanks to the progressive blade length design and a new 431 stainless steel to give even softer feel and improve the strength to weight ratio.
We now have a selection of demo irons in stock for you to try, just come along to the Pro Shop and we can set one up for you.
