« Bag Boy Revolver Golf Bag   How Good is Your Golf Swings »

by George Statos

Designed for Average golfer the Ping G10 was created as an upgrade to the very popular Ping G5. The upgrades that were done to the Ping G10 are slight, but the club still holds true to being the club of choice for average golfers. That being said this club provides very consistant golf play with a forgiving swing.

The minor changes that have led to the creation of the G10 include a wider sole, extreme perimeter weighting and increased moment of inertia (MOI). The wider sole helps keep the club on the right path and helps achieve a higher launch angle. The engineers of Ping have placed most of the club head weight on the perimeters, which increases the moment of inertia.

When the moment of inertia is increased, it means the club will adhere to a straight path on hits made off the toe. Just like every other golf club manufacturer, Ping has aimed to increase the moment of inertia on the G10. These qualities ultimately contribute to the forgiveness and consistency of the iron. An average golfer benefits from consistent hits. Irons are meant to improve a golfer’s game and average golfers are always looking to do just that. The Ping G10 iron is an effective club for achieving those two qualities.

On the other hand, the G10 is not meant for golfers who are looking to shape their shots around the corners or near any obstacles. These irons have been made to take that aspect out of the game in order to have consistent shots.

These clubs are not cheap. Critiques of the clubs have questioned why they should pay the large hefty price tag of these clubs if they already have the G5. They may be right. If you have the G5 you may not want to invest on the G10. But for those who have older sets of clubs and don’t mind paying the price, the G10 iron is a solid option.
