PING i240 men's irons, graphite

Tour-inspired irons delivering exceptional forgiveness with higher launch and elite shot-making control. The PING i240 irons are a players-style set that blends a compact, clean address profile with surprisingly generous off-centre performance. Compared to the previous i230 generation, the centre of gravity has been lowered, head stability increased, and impact feel improved — the result is a higher, softer-landing ball flight with consistent distance gaps that low-to-mid handicap players will immediately appreciate. As PING's highest-launching players model, the i240 allows you to consistently stop the ball close to the hole while still offering the workability and trajectory control demanded by skilled golfers.

Best suited for:

• Low-to-mid handicap golfers who want a players iron look and precision, yet still benefit from meaningful real-world forgiveness.
• Golfers who require a higher launch, a softer landing angle, and consistent spin on approach shots into the green.
• Players looking for tour-inspired irons without stepping all the way to a pure blade design such as the Blueprint S or Blueprint T.

Key Features

• Highest-Launching Players Iron: PING's most forgiving players-style iron delivers a higher ball flight and more distance than previous i-series generations.
• Lower Centre of Gravity: A new lighter ABS badge (8.5 g lighter than the i230) repositions the CG lower in the head for improved launch and spin consistency.
• Forgiveness With Feel: Lighter badge and elastomer insert save weight redirected to perimeter weighting, increasing MOI and reducing dispersion by 11%.
• True Cavity-Back Design: Traditional cavity construction delivers peripheral weighting benefits especially in the long and mid irons, while maintaining a clean players look.
• Player-Preferred Profile: Shorter blade length, thin topline, and minimal offset deliver the address confidence and trajectory control players demand.
• Tour-Proven Grooves: Fewer, wider grooves maximise spin from the fairway for predictable, consistent shot-making on approach.
• Smooth Turf Interaction: Redesigned sole with a rounded leading edge and generous bounce glides cleanly through the turf for solid, confident contact.
• Graphite Shaft Options: Available with the PING Alta CB Blue graphite shaft or UST Mamiya Recoil DART graphite shaft to suit a wide range of swing speeds.
• Right- and Left-Hand Models: Full set configurations available in both right-hand and left-hand orientations with multiple flex options.

Technology in Detail

Forgiveness With Feel

The new ABS badge inside the cavity is 8.5 g lighter than the equivalent component in the i230, and it works in conjunction with an injection-moulded elastomer insert to deliver a softer, more responsive feel at impact. The weight saved by this multi-material badge and insert combination is redistributed to the perimeter of the head, significantly expanding the peripheral weighting and raising the MOI. The practical outcome is an 11% reduction in dispersion compared to its predecessor — meaning you hit more shots closer to your intended target even on off-centre strikes. The elastomer insert also damps unwanted vibration, giving the i240 a distinctly premium feel that belies its forgiving intent.

More Distance, Higher Launch

By lowering the centre of gravity through the redesigned badge and insert, PING's engineers have achieved the brand's highest-launching players-model iron to date. A lower CG promotes a higher, more optimised launch angle and increased ball speed across the face, translating directly into more distance and improved ability to stop the ball close to the hole. Weight redistribution also improves head stability through the hitting zone, contributing to more consistent distance control from shot to shot. The result is an iron that works hard for you even when swing conditions are less than perfect, without ever feeling like a game-improvement design at address.

True Cavity-Back Design

The i240's traditional true cavity-back construction enables meaningful peripheral weighting around the full circumference of the head — a characteristic that is especially beneficial in the long and mid irons where off-centre forgiveness is most valuable. Unlike more compact blade-adjacent designs that sacrifice perimeter mass for a slim profile, the i240's cavity allows PING engineers to position weight exactly where it makes the greatest ballistic difference. At the same time, the clean cavity aesthetic preserves the player-preferred look that skilled golfers demand at address. The 431 stainless steel cast head construction provides a solid, responsive platform for this weight management strategy.

Player-Preferred Profile

At address, the i240 presents the compact, confidence-inspiring profile that discerning players expect from a tour-inspired iron. A shorter blade length and a thin topline keep the visual footprint minimal and elegant, while carefully calibrated offset values — ranging from 0.20" in the 3-iron down to just 0.02" in the UW — deliver precise trajectory control across the full set. The clean Hydropearl 2.0 finish reduces friction through turf and moisture while adding a refined, modern appearance. Whether shaping a fade into a tight pin or punching under tree branches, the i240's profile gives you the visual feedback and shot-making confidence to commit fully.

Tour-Proven Grooves

The i240's face features fewer, wider grooves that are precision-engineered to maximise spin generation from the fairway, helping approach shots land softly and hold their line to the hole. Consistent spin rates are critical for players who refine their game through repeatability and predictability, and the groove geometry ensures that the ball responds the same way whether you're 150 yards out on a links or attacking a tight uphill pin. The face geometry, combined with the lower CG, also helps produce a penetrating ball flight that cuts through wind more reliably than higher-spinning alternatives. Every groove is milled to exacting tolerances to ensure consistent channel depth across the entire face.

Smooth Turf Interaction

The redesigned sole of the i240 shares the same philosophy as previous acclaimed PING models but takes it a step further. A rounded leading edge removes the tendency to dig, allowing the club to glide cleanly through the turf regardless of whether you're playing from a perfect fairway lie or a tight, firm approach angle. Generous bounce angles — ranging from 5° in the 3-iron to 13° in the PW and UW — ensure the sole interacts predictably with a wide variety of surfaces and swing paths. High-density toe weights and shaft tip weights allow fine-tuning of swingweight to match individual preferences. The result is clean, solid contact and an immediately pleasant feel through the hitting zone, shot after shot.

Shaft Options

The graphite variants of the PING i240 are available with two shaft options to suit different swing speeds and launch preferences:

Other shaft options are available on request. All graphite shaft swingweights are 2–3 points lighter than the values shown in the specification table below, depending on shaft flex.

Specifications

Specification Notes

• These are design specifications that may vary due to manufacturing tolerances.
• Lie angle is based on the Black Colour Code at standard length.
• Power Spec Loft is a fitting option for players looking to boost iron distance or decrease spin to achieve a desired trajectory window — a custom-designed loft configuration that delivers a calculated power boost without compromising the integrity of the club design.
• Retro Spec Loft is a fitting option for players who prefer precision and a higher trajectory with more stopping power over maximum distance. This configuration yields functional distance gaps suited to a 3-wedge setup or a more classic loft specification.
• 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 the values shown, depending on shaft flex.
• Achievable swingweights depend on the shaft, length, and grip combination selected.
• Available in both right-hand and left-hand models.
