Ping launches new I240 irons, IDI drives Irons Tour: First reaction

Columbus, Ohio. – The summer tour season is in full swing, Ping is the latest OEM for the new hardcore start-up tour professionals held at the Memorial this week.

The company is launching the seeding process of its new I240 Irons and IDI driving IDI driving at Muirfield Village.

As of now, Ping hasn’t released any information about the new iron, but we can make some initial assumptions based on the photo of Jack’s position.

I240 iron

Ping’s i-series lineup is very popular among Tour professionals and better players who are looking for compact and precise iron that offers more forgiveness than the Blueprint T and Blueprint Sirons. Both Viktor Hovland and Sahith Theegala still carry the I210 iron (appeared in 2018), which includes their combo kit, while several other experts use the I230 Irons.

With the new I240, Ping seems to have gotten rid of the I230’s very clean, simple aesthetic and adds some visible carbon fiber to the back of the iron. “I” in I240 also painted red gallery on the club’s badge.

These shapes seem to be very similar to Ping’s current Blueprint S, which is the company’s other workhorse tour-cavity iron. Since players have combined the Blueprint and the i230, probably this will also be the popular choice for the i240 in longer iron, then use the Blueprint S or the Muscle Post Blueprint T in the short iron.

It is also possible to choose to combine I240 in shorter iron in the long iron that appeared last year.

Idi drives a hardcore

As we start to get into summer, the tour goes into drier places (think the U.S. Open Championship) driving the Irons becomes the option for professionals looking to take advantage of Tee’s big elimination.

Now, this is a good time for Ping to start seeding its new IDI-driven iron. Ping’s current driver iron, ICROSSOVE, is different from others because Ping’s Traightory Tumighting 2.0 Hosel allows players to quickly make the same tweaks as Ping’s Metalwoods.

With the new IDI, Ping seems to have abandoned the adjustable Hoth, while the familiar Notch among Ping’s other hardcores can be easily made attic and tweaked.

IDI also seems to be driving the more compact side of the iron, which should help it attract people to identify professionals who like clubs that don’t look tolerant.

Within the scope of the memorial we have found Hofland in our bags, but there is no sign that it will work.
