Ping · Irons · 2020
G710
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You're a higher-handicap or slower-swinging player who wants maximum distance, easy launch and elite forgiveness - a hollow, iron-wood-style super-game-improvement set.
You want workability, a compact head, soft feel or traditional gapping (the G-series GI or i-series players' irons).
Pros
- PING's longest and most forgiving iron of its era - 5% higher MOI than the G700 from high-density tungsten heel and toe weights
- Genuine distance - a 7-iron carried 151 yards versus 144-145 with previous irons, with plenty of ball speed
- A hollow, maraging-faced super-game-improvement build that keeps minor and moderate misses on line
- Improved sound and feel over the G700 via a new face epoxy, in a sharp Hydropearl Stealth finish
Cons
- A chunky super-game-improvement iron - thick topline, large head, minimal workability
- Strong lofts and a distance-iron build - not for traditional gapping or greenside spin
- A firmer, louder feel than a cast game-improvement iron
By dimension
Forgiveness
PING's most forgiving of its era - PING's longest and most forgiving iron, with 5% higher MOI than the G700 from high-density tungsten heel and toe weights, minor and moderate misses staying on a very good line and even poor shots finding the green. Elite super-game-improvement forgiveness.
Distance
Genuine distance - a 7-iron carrying 151 yards versus 144-145 with previous irons, with plenty of ball speed, the hollow, maraging-faced build being PING's longest. Class-leading distance.
Workability
A distance machine, not a shaper - a chunky super-game-improvement iron built purely for distance and forgiveness, flying high and straight rather than shaping. Minimal workability, by design.
Feel
Improved, if firm - a new epoxy behind the face creates a more pleasing impact sound and feel over the G700, a solid, if firm, hollow-body strike. Decent for a super-game-improvement iron, if no players' iron.
Sound
Improved acoustics - the new face epoxy improves acoustics over the G700, a controlled, if metallic, hollow-body note. Acceptable for a super-game-improvement iron.
Looks at address
Chunky, but sharp finish - a thick topline and large super-game-improvement head, though with a sharp Hydropearl Stealth finish. A chunky distance-iron footprint, smartened by the dark finish.
