PING iDi Golf Driving Iron

PING iDi Golf Driving Iron

Take control off the tee and from the fairway with the PING iDi Driving Iron – a powerful, precision-built long iron alternative designed for golfers who want the forgiveness of modern technology with the shot-making control of a traditional iron. Offering three loft options to match your preferred trajectory, the iDi delivers exceptional ball speed, a more satisfying feel at impact, and versatile performance in any playing conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

inR-Air Technology – Better Sound & Feel
A built-in air pocket behind the clubface softens unwanted vibrations for a cleaner, more solid strike. Every shot feels and sounds pure.

Metal-Wood-Like Construction
Internal i-Beam technology strengthens the body and minimises vibration, giving you the stability and consistency of a fairway wood in an iron shape.

Optimised Launch & Spin

2 Iron (17°): Low launch and spin for penetrating tee shots.

3 Iron (20°): Versatile option – use off the tee or as a long-iron replacement.

4 Iron (23°): Higher launch with extra spin for holding greens.

Forged, Flexible Face for Speed
A thin maraging steel face flexes at impact to maximise ball speed, even on off-centre strikes.

Lower CG, Higher MOI
Strategic weight savings position the centre of gravity low while boosting forgiveness – combining distance with control.

Improved Turf Interaction
A rounded leading edge and extra sole camber make it smooth through the turf, reducing digging on imperfect strikes.

PING-Engineered Shafts
Comes with the Tour 2.0 Chrome 85 shaft as standard for stable, mid-flight performance. Custom options available for different swing types.

Who Is It Best For?

The PING iDi Driving Iron is ideal for:

Confident ball strikers (low- to mid-handicappers) seeking a reliable option off the tee.

Golfers who prefer a penetrating flight and more control than hybrids or fairway woods.

Players looking to bridge the gap between long irons and woods with a versatile, playable option.

FAQs

Q: How does the iDi compare to a hybrid?
A: The iDi produces a lower, more penetrating ball flight with added control, while hybrids typically launch higher with more spin.

Q: Which loft should I choose?
A:

2 Iron (17°) – Best for low launch and maximum distance off the tee.

3 Iron (20°) – Great all-rounder for both tee and fairway shots.

4 Iron (23°) – Higher launch, easier to stop on greens.

Q: Is the iDi forgiving on mishits?
A: Yes – thanks to its lower CG and higher MOI, it offers more forgiveness than a traditional long iron while keeping workability.

Q: Can I customise the shaft?
A: Absolutely. Choose from stock PING shafts or aftermarket options like Project X Denali Red (higher launch) or Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Black (penetrating flight).

Q: Is this driving iron suitable for beginners?
A: Not really – the iDi is designed for better players who consistently strike the ball well. Beginners may find hybrids or higher-lofted fairway woods easier to use.
