Ping Irons: The Full Range from Blueprint to G740

Three ladders in one range

Rather than a single progression, Ping runs Blueprint, i-Series and G side by side. Each has its own internal logic, and understanding all three is the fastest way to stop guessing.

Blueprint T. A true muscleback. Minimal offset, thin topline, maximum feedback. Aimed at elite ball strikers who want to work the ball on demand.

Blueprint S. A compact cavity back with a small amount of extra margin over the T, while keeping the same traditional shaping. Most golfers who think they want “a blade” are better served here.

i240. A players’ cavity back sitting closest to Blueprint in profile, for strong players who want a compact look with a little more forgiveness.

i530. Hollow-body construction for extra speed and launch, aimed at players’ distance without a bulky appearance.

i540. The newest i-series iron, built for pace through the ball and a flight that stops rather than runs.

G440. Game-improvement: wider sole, more offset, stronger lofts, easier launch.

G740. The most forgiving iron in the range — maximum distance and help for golfers whose strike pattern is genuinely wide.

What actually changes as you move down

Four things shift together across all three ladders:

1. Head size and offset grow, adding visual bulk but also more draw bias and more margin.
2. Centre of gravity moves lower and further back, raising launch and forgiveness at the cost of workability.
3. Lofts get stronger, so a G740 7-iron and a Blueprint T 7-iron are not comparable clubs despite the shared number.
4. Sole width increases, resisting digging on fat and thin strikes.

The loft trap

Don’t compare “7-iron distance” across the three ladders and draw conclusions. A game-improvement 7-iron flying further than a Blueprint 7-iron is not a better club — it’s a stronger loft doing the work. What matters is whether your whole set covers your yardages with even gaps and lands softly enough to hold a green.

Feel and construction

Blueprint and i-Series lean on forged construction for a softer feel; G-series irons prioritise speed and forgiveness through cast, multi-material builds. Test on grass rather than into a net, and never decide from one shot.

Keeping a record of the demo day

Testing four or five iron models in one session goes wrong when they all blur into a single impression by the end of it.

This is a place where a quiet tracking habit pays off. FocusGolf logs shots, distances and club performance straight from a Wear OS, Apple Watch or Garmin watch with no club sensors to fit, so the session history — not your memory of the best strike — tells you afterwards whether the i-Series model really felt more consistent or simply looked nicer at address.

Coach’s tip: Choose your irons around your strike pattern with a 7-iron, not your best 7-iron shot. Impact tape across ten balls tells you more than any review.
