Ping does not run one iron range — it runs three, and the numbers on one ladder mean nothing on another. A **G440** iron, an **i240** iron and a **Blueprint** iron can share a shelf and suit three completely different golfers.

These guides untangle both so you can buy the model built for your game, not the one nearest the till. *Independent buying guides.
