IRON
PING i530
2024
The i530 reflects the broader 'players distance iron' trend of hiding hollow-body speed and forgiveness technology inside a shape that reads as a traditional forged blade at address — a category also pursued by rivals like Titleist's T100/T150 and Callaway's Apex Pro. Reviewers noted the i530 delivers a genuinely soft forged feel and strong ball speed even on mishits, thanks to the lowered CG and thinner face.

VERIFIED PRODUCT FACTS
