Of all the irons in this round-up, the Ping i500’s are possibly the best looking, while still packing a powerful punch from a performance perspective.
When you stand over the i500’s, you will be struck by how compact the face is, and you may also notice that they have minimal offset. In fact, the i500’s have less offset than the Ping i210’s, something many people might not expect.
In terms of loft, launch conditions and technology, the i500’s should give you plenty of distance and the ability to shape the ball both ways given the minimal amount of offset. The only complaint with the i500’s is that you can definitely feel that it’s a hollow construction iron, meaning that you shouldn’t expect the buttery feel of a forged steel blade.
