In this episode of the Worldwide Golf Insider Podcast (#417), Worldwide Golf’s Tom Brassell sits down with PING’s Senior Design Engineer, Jacob Clarke, to delve into the exciting new release—the PING i240 irons. Jacob offers insight into the development of the i240, building on the success of the i230 and refining key features to create a set of irons that not only improve performance but also cater to a broader range of golfers.

From the i230 to the i240: A Journey of Innovation

The journey to the PING i240 iron began with the i230, which garnered praise for its performance and precision. However, as with any design process, there was always room for improvement. Jacob explains that the i240 was developed with one goal in mind: to enhance the experience for golfers of all skill levels. Drawing from extensive feedback from tour players and golfers alike, PING set out to refine the features that would elevate the i240 to the next level.

Tour Adoption and Feedback: Shaping the i240

One of the key drivers behind the i240’s design was its adoption on tour. With input from some of the best golfers in the world, PING incorporated their feedback to perfect the performance of these irons. The result? The i240 irons offer the precision that tour players demand while also being more accessible for a wider variety of golfers.

The i240 irons are built to perform in a variety of playing conditions, delivering accuracy, distance, and consistency across the board. Jacob touches on how the feedback from players helped influence the iron’s design, ensuring that it not only performs well under professional conditions but also excels in the hands of golfers at all skill levels.

Key Features of the i240 Irons

Increased Peak Height

One of the standout features of the PING i240 irons is their increased peak height. The i240 irons go higher than their predecessor, the i230, which means that golfers can expect a higher launch and softer landing angles. This improvement is particularly beneficial for golfers looking for more control and distance, as the higher peak height allows for better stopping power on the greens.

Improved Turf Interaction

PING has always focused on providing excellent turf interaction, and the i240 irons are no exception. Jacob explains that the i240 offers smoother turf interaction, helping golfers achieve more consistent strikes. This improvement makes it easier for golfers to maintain accuracy and control, even in challenging course conditions.

Advanced Technology for Maximum Performance

The i240 irons are packed with advanced technology designed to improve every aspect of your game. PING’s engineers focused on optimizing the clubhead design to deliver exceptional ball speed, forgiveness, and control. The result is an iron that works for golfers of all abilities—whether you’re a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior looking to elevate your game.

The Importance of Custom Fitting

When it comes to optimizing your performance with the PING i240 irons, nothing beats the value of a proper custom fitting. The right fit ensures that you’re maximizing the potential of the i240’s advanced features, helping you achieve better accuracy, distance, and consistency on every shot.
