PRESS RELEASE
PING expands iron offerings with
i525 players-distance model
Significant distance gains combined with
improved feel and sound in a players-distance model distinguish the new i525™
irons, according to PING President John K. Solheim, who today officially
introduced the newest entry into PING’s extensive iron lineup. The custom-built
i525 irons are now available for custom fittings at authorised PING retailers
around the world.
“What’s most satisfying in the i525 iron from an engineering standpoint is how
our team has been able to maximise the flexing of the metal-wood-style face
structure while creating a pleasing sound and feel,” said Solheim. “As golfers
know who’ve played this type of iron design, they often sacrificed some of the
feel for more distance. That’s not the case in the i525 as we’re able to provide
golfers a solid-feeling iron with the increased ball speed they need to hit
longer, higher shots that hit and hold the green.
We’re seeing some incredible results as a lot of golfers are a club stronger or
more, including Tour pros who are attracted to the compact look and increased
ball speed of the longer irons.”
Forged, Maraging-Steel Face
The strength of the variable-thickness, maraging steel allows for a thinner,
more dynamic face structure with an internal sole undercut in the 17-4 stainless
steel body to increase flexing for more ball speed and shots that launch faster
and higher with distance control.
“As we advance all of our iron technologies through our continuous research and
knowledge development, it’s important for golfers to understand the different
attributes engineered into each model,” said Solheim. “The i525 is clearly for
the golfer in search of more distance. But it offers so much more performance,
including exceptional forgiveness concealed in a players- style head. Its size
and shape are beautifully crafted, and it’s packed with tremendous technology on
the inside, which makes it very appealing to a wide range of golfers.”
Sound Engineering
A polymer is precisely injected onto the inside of the face to improve feel and
sound without interfering with face deflection, the source of its increased ball
speed.
“One of the biggest challenges we face in designing all clubs is tuning the feel
and sound,” said Solheim.
“Because of the i525’s metal-wood-style face design, we knew sound would require
additional attention to ensure the gains in distance didn’t come at the expense
of the feel. We couldn’t sacrifice one attribute just to improve another. The
solution was to inject the polymer in precise amounts to the same area behind
the face. The result is a significant improvement in distance, sound and feel.”
Extreme Weighting
Tungsten toe and shaft tip weights combine with a tiered, dynamic face structure
and cavity to expand the perimeter weighting while preserving ball speed through
greater face deflection for added distance and improved accuracy. The moment of
inertia has increased in the vertical and horizontal axes to provide tighter
dispersion and increased forgiveness.
“The structure of the face and cavity is a significant mechanical-engineering
accomplishment,” Solheim said. “They function as one to ensure golfers benefit
from the forgiveness PING irons are famous for while maintaining consistent
bending across the face to deliver the added ball speed and higher launch that
golfers expect in a distance-focused iron.”
Friction Face with MicroMax™ Milled Grooves
Introduced last year in the i59 iron, the i525’s precision-machined face has
MicroMax grooves for tighter spacing and a geometry that results in an average
of four extra grooves on each club to reduce fliers in the short irons and
preserve spin in the long irons for greater control and consistency.
