Ping i530 Irons (Graphite Shaft)
Reference: GO-36252
For players who desire a compact blade-style head and their primary goal is more distance, the new i530 is engineered to lower scores through launching the ball higher and farther.
The clean, premium look owes in part to a new machining technique that thins the back wall of the hollow-body design, saving weight to help with forgiveness and tighten dispersion. Blade enthusiasts will appreciate the thin top line, narrow sole and shallow face height. The forged, highly flexible maraging steel C300 face is precisely welded to a 17-4 stainless steel hollow body.
Distance gains come from multiple sources, including an internal weight pad that provides a deeper and thinner face-to-sole transition, ensuring more face flexing and pushing mass down to lower the center of gravity for more ball speed.
The arcing sole cascade contributes to distance by accentuating face bending. Add in the lower center of gravity and distance-optimized lofts and the i530 delivers approximately three more yards with a high max height for green-holding results. The lower CG is also more aligned with where impact occurs, and a polymer improves feel and sound while maximizing face bending and ball speed. Precision-milled MicroMax grooves ensure consistent launch and spin from all conditions.

- These are design specifications that may vary due to manufacturing tolerances.
- Lie angle is based on Black Color Code at standard length.
- Power Spec Loft is a fitting option for players looking to boost their iron distance or decrease spin to hit a desired trajectory window. This custom-designed loft configuration delivers a calculated power boost without sacrificing the integrity of the club’s design.
- Retro Spec Loft is a fitting option if you’re less concerned with overall distance and more with precision and a higher trajectory for more stopping power. This loft configuration yields functional distance gaps for utilizing a 3-wedge setup or a more classic loft spec.
- Club bounce angles will vary slightly if ordered with non-standard loft specs.
- Standard swingweights for graphite-shafted clubs are 2 to 3 points lighter than shown, depending on shaft flex.
- Achievable swingweights depend on shaft, length and grip combinations.
- Available in left- and right-handed models.
