Ping G2 Iron set Golf Club

First of all, I will say this about Ping Irons. They are consistent which is more than you can say about other irons. This particular model (G2) is about the best Ping Irons I've came across and I've played with literally over 100 sets of Irons in my days just demoing them.

Personally, I purchased a set of irons that included the 5I thru LW. 9 Irons total and I couldn't be happier with them. I usually bounce around between sets of irons regularly but these have stayed in my bag for an entire golf season and will probably last through this one as well which is a major accomplishment.

Now onto how the Irons play:
All of my Irons are equipped with Ping JZ-65 Stiff Steel Shafts and are Blue Dot with standard Loft.

The 5 Iron is very easy to hit. Just a tad of an offset which makes it easier to square to ball on your downswing. I consistently carry my 5 Iron around 195-205 yards.

The 6 Iron is also easy to hit. Hardly any noticeable offset in this club but still easy to hit for a mid-iron. I usually hit my 6 Iron around 180-185 yards.

The 7 Iron is probably the second best Iron in my set. Very nice trajectory and plenty of bite on the greens from 165 and in. I can easily work this iron and hit a nice knock down or step it up and hit a nice high draw into the green. I usually mark the 7 Iron of every set as the benchmark. The G2 7 Iron is one of the best if not the best I've played with. Its consistency, forgiveness and playability make you a better golfer.

To be honest, I don't hit my 8 Iron much in rounds but I'm consistent with it on the range. I would rather hit a knock down or 3/4 shot with my 7 Iron.

The 9 Iron is another nice addition to the set but I would rank it as the worst Iron in my set as well. I've hit some ballooners with this club as well as some fatties which only happens with this iron for some reason. I generally don't hit it much on the course as I would rather amp my PW than hit my 9I.

The PW is the best iron in this set hands down, at least for me. I am deadly from 120 and in with my PW. You can do it all with this club. High, soft landings to low darts to fades to draws. I can amp my PW and hit it consistently between 135-140, but prefer to swing smooth and get 120 or so. I even chip with my PW at times and I've always used a 60* wedge around the green but I can get a good bite or check-up with my PW. If you play at a course that's Driver-Wedge on several holes, you'll have a hard time finding a better PW than this one, trust me, I would know.

The 52* UW or Gap Wedge is a nice addition to the set. It doesn't hit those nice high shots like the PW, but its still consistent.

The 56* SW is also consistent with a nice high ball flight and plenty of spin around the greens.

The 60* LW is great from 50 or so in and around the greens. I can hit a flop or push my hands forward and hit a hard check-up with this iron and feel comfortable doing either. Probably the 3rd best Iron in the set in my opinion.

There you have it, my review of the Ping G2 Iron set. I would recommend going to Ping's website and getting a static fit to make sure your purchasing the right set of Ping's, but you'll be hard pressed to find a better set than this one. The G2's easily beat out the S59's and the G5's for me. All were consistent, but the G2's gave me more forgiveness when I needed it. I went from a 8.5 handicap to a 4.5 handicap with these Irons.
