New PING Irons in stock now..
On Friday, 31 July PING launched 2 NEW Irons, the PING GMax (for the average handicap golfer) & the PING i Series for the lower handicap golfer.
This week we are doing a quick review of the GMax irons…
PING Gmax Irons Steel 5-SW Features:
Speed-Generating Structure
The structure of the irons have been designed with a 31% thinner perimeter face and top rail to create more flex for higher ball speeds.
Custom Tuning Port
PING have positioned the custom tuning port so the centre of gravity is low and back which increases the moment-of-inertia for greater forgiveness, higher launch and more accuracy on your shots.
Sole Geometry
The iron heads feature an enhanced leading edge with a greater trailing edge relief, this increases the bounce to improve turf interaction.
The irons have been designed to give you the best distance and performance. Each and every length and loft has been optimized to increase your distance and promote higher trajectories for added stopping power.
Straight-flight technology helps square face at impact for faster ball speeds and straighter results. The set comes fitted as standard with the CFS Distance shaft which has been designed to provide a mid trajectory ball flight.
For the ultimate game improvement irons choose the PING Gmax Irons.

Well done to Ian Dow in his recent stableford success in the Acquisition Trophy with 43 points.
Having seen Laurence for a check up last week, he made a couple of alterations in his set up which has resulted in drastic improvements.
Keep up the good work!
