January 20, 2020 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>In the new G710 irons<\/strong>, PING<\/a> engineers deliver golfers more distance and forgiveness in a sleek, dark finish, PING President John K. Solheim<\/strong> announced today.\u00a0The new irons are available for custom fitting and pre-order at authorised PING golf shops around the world beginning today.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe G710 iron is our longest, most forgiving iron to date. It\u2019s engineered for golfers who want to maximise both distance and forgiveness,\u201d <\/em>John K. Solheim <\/strong>said. \u201cIn designing it, we also advanced other important attributes such as consistency, sound and feel, without sacrificing performance. The hydropearl stealth chrome finish gives it a very sleek and attractive look. It\u2019s a beautiful, high-performance design that will have broad appeal for golfers who want to hit the ball longer and straighter.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Solheim also announced the new G710 irons come standard with Arccos Smart Grips<\/strong> and a free trial of the Arccos Caddie app<\/strong>. \u201cI personally started using Arccos more than a year ago and have seen significant improvement across my entire game,\u201d <\/em>he said. \u201cIt helps me during a round with club selection and I really enjoy analysing all the data after the round to uncover areas to help me play better. The Arccos Caddie app is a tremendous shot-tracking tool to help golfers lower their scores and have more fun on the course.\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Precision Machined, Maraging Steel Face<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the strongest aerospace-grade alloys in the world, maraging steel provides strength and flexibility for launching shots higher and further. High durability coupled with a machined variable-thickness face make an ideal pairing for distance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve continued to employ maraging steel in several products where maximising face flexing is a performance priority,\u201d <\/em>said John K. Solheim<\/strong>. \u201cOur engineers have optimised the bending of the G710 face to increase ball speeds for more distance and higher trajectories, producing shots that land softer and hold the green. It\u2019s a distance iron that delivers consistent distance, a very rare combination for an iron of this type.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

5% Higher MOI<\/strong><\/p>\n

High-density tungsten toe and heel weights optimally positioned in the 17-4 stainless body increase the MOI by 5% compared to the G700, producing exceptional forgiveness for more distance and accuracy, especially for mid-to-high handicaps and slower swing speeds.<\/p>\n

\u201cForgiveness continues to be at the top of our list when it comes to iron design,\u201d<\/em> John K. Solheim<\/strong> said. \u201cIn a hollow-body design, our goal is to balance a variety of attributes to help golfers hit the ball significantly further while hitting more greens. The G710 iron\u2019s extremely high MOI is a result of strategically positioning weight on the toe and inside the hosel to make it our most forgiving iron. We\u2019ve also greatly enhanced the feel and sound through extensive modal analysis, which helped us eliminate certain undesirable frequencies.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hydropearl Stealth Chrome Finish<\/strong><\/p>\n

A hydropearl chrome finish with black PVD coating provides hydrophobicity to repel water and improve performance through the turf and in wet conditions. The two-stage coating process ensures durability and the darker finish creates the perception of a smaller, more compact head.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alta Distanza Black 40 Graphite Shaft<\/strong><\/p>\n

The proprietary PING shaft is a no-upcharge option in the G710 iron and offers the lightest weight and max trajectory height available in a PING iron shaft. A more active tip in the 42-gram shaft delivers higher trajectories and best matches golfers with slower swing speeds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Arccos Smart Grip & Caddie app<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Arccos Golf Pride 360 Tour Velvet Smart Grip is standard on every G710 iron in one of three sizes (Aqua -1\/64″, White Std., Gold +1\/32″). Each iron is custom built with an embedded sensor in the grip to automatically record and analyse every shot taken during a round when paired with the Arccos Caddie app. Golfers receive a 90-day free trial of the app and eight additional screw-in sensors at no charge after the purchase of six or more G710 irons. Fulfillment of the additional free sensors comes directly from PING and requires users to first download the Arccos Caddie app.<\/p>\n
