  • Specifications: Available in 3-9, PW, UW, SW & LW. Standard graphite shaft is the Ping TFC939I (Ladies, Soft R, R and S flexes). Standard steel shaft is the Ping AWT (Soft R, R, S and X flexes).

  • Fitting variables: Lie angle (12 color codes), shaft flex/type, shaft length, grip size/type and swingweight.

  • MSRP: $165 per iron with steel shafts; $195 per iron with graphite shafts.

Ping says:

"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 stabilizes face for solid feel and consistent response across the club face." (next page)
