Reviews of Ping G2 Irons

G2 irons are easy to hit. They have a soft feel and the perimeter-weighting is precise and reminiscent of the still-popular Ping Eye 2 irons. The lofts are true and the shafts are precisely fit, allowing for fairly easy shot-shaping. Each iron is slightly offset, promoting straight shots. The soles move nicely through the ball and the grips are comfortable at impact.

G2 long irons (2-iron through 4-iron) can be a bit difficult to hit. Ping did make special replacement G2 long irons (2-iron through 5-iron), however their soles are a bit chunky and promote high, lofty shots. Abandoning the 2-, 3- and possibly 4-iron for fairway woods will produce better results for the developing or novice player.

Ping G2 irons, although not currently manufactured, are still available from a variety of retailers and used dealers. Their quality and performance challenge most new irons on the market. Used and refurbished sets run about $200 to $300. Getting them for anything less is a steal.
