PING i230 men's irons, graphite

PING i230 men's irons, graphite

Key Features

• Tour-Proven Distance Control: Players-style iron engineered for consistent, predictable yardages and tight dispersion on every shot.
• Activated Elastomer Insert: Creates 21 g of discretionary weight to lower the centre of gravity for greater distance while enhancing feel and sound at impact.
• Five-Piece Multi-Material Construction: 431 stainless steel body combined with tungsten toe and shaft-tip weights, a concealed elastomer insert, and a four-layer multi-material cavity badge.
• MicroMax Grooves: Precision-milled, fully machined face grooves deliver consistent launch angles and spin rates in both wet and dry conditions.
• Rounded Leading Edge: More rounded lead edge geometry ensures smooth turf interaction and clean ball-striking from a wide variety of lies.
• Hydropearl Finish: Hydrophobic chrome finish sheds water at impact to maintain consistent spin rates in wet conditions.
• Tungsten Perimeter Weighting: Toe and shaft-tip tungsten weights increase MOI and perimeter weighting for added stability on off-centre strikes.
• PING ALTA CB Black Graphite Shaft: Mid-to-high launch with stability and a consistent feel, available in Soft-Regular (65 g), Regular (72 g), and Stiff (82 g) flexes.
• Right- and Left-Hand Options: Full set compositions available for both right-handed and left-handed golfers.

Specifications

These are design specifications that may vary due to manufacturing tolerances. Lie angle is based on the Black Colour Code at standard length. Club bounce angles will vary slightly if ordered with non-standard loft specifications. Standard swingweights for graphite-shafted clubs are 2 to 3 points lighter than shown, depending on shaft flex. Available for right-handed and left-handed golfers.

PING Colour Code Chart

The PING Colour Code Chart is a fitting tool used to determine the optimal iron specifications for each individual golfer, based on their physical measurements — specifically height and wrist-to-floor distance — and swing dynamics. Each colour in the chart represents a specific combination of iron specifications, principally Lie Angle and Shaft Length, and also informs the appropriate Grip Size selection. Getting these three parameters right is essential for maximising accuracy, consistency, and comfort over a full round of golf.

• Lie Angle: The angle between the shaft and the ground at address directly influences the direction the ball travels at impact — a lie angle that is too upright or too flat will cause consistent misses left or right of the target, regardless of swing quality.
• Shaft Length: Shaft length affects posture, swing plane, and ultimately both distance and accuracy — longer shafts generally offer more distance potential but may reduce control, while shorter shafts can improve consistency and precision for golfers with a shorter wrist-to-floor measurement.
• Grip Size: Correct grip size influences comfort, club control, and feel throughout the swing — golfers with larger hands often benefit from a thicker grip for better control, while golfers with smaller hands may prefer a standard or undersize grip for improved feedback and feel.

By consulting the PING Colour Code Chart, golfers and fitting professionals can identify the precise colour code that corresponds to the ideal specification combination. A taller player with a flatter swing, for example, will require a very different colour code to a shorter player with a more upright swing plane.
