Where it wins
- Feel90
- Looks90
- Workability88
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You're a low-to-mid handicapper who wants a compact, workable players' iron with superb feel, a higher, softer-landing flight, and a touch more forgiveness than the i230.
You need real distance or forgiveness (a players-distance or game-improvement iron), or you already game the i230 (it's a minor update).
Pros
- More forgiving than the i230 - added perimeter weighting and a high-density toe weight raise MOI 2.5% across the set
- A degree-higher launch and 300+ rpm more spin than the i230 - balls stop faster and land closer to target
- Incredibly soft yet crisper feel, with excellent feedback and no sting
- A shorter blade length and more compact, confidence-inspiring shape that wins on looks
Cons
- Average distance, by design - it spins more for control, not yards
- A players' cavity-back for solid ball strikers - not a forgiveness or distance iron
- If you're happy with the i230, there's no compelling reason to upgrade
By dimension
Forgiveness
FairMore than the i230 - added perimeter weighting, a high-density toe weight and a lighter badge raise MOI 2.5% across the set, so players get more out of mishits than the i230, with improved stability for a players' iron. Strong for a compact players' cavity-back.
Distance
StrongControl over yards - it spins 300+ rpm more than the i230 and lands a few yards closer to target rather than longer, a control-focused players' iron. Modest distance, prioritising accuracy.
Workability
ExcellentBuilt to shape - the compact i240 gives the skilled player full control and shot-shaping, with players'-iron workability. Elite, players'-iron workability.
Feel
Class-leadingSoft and crisp - an incredibly soft feel that is crisper at impact than the i230, with excellent feedback and no sting, a premium forged-like sensation. Elite, players'-iron feel.
Sound
ExcellentCrisp and refined - a crisper note than the i230, a clean, premium acoustic. A refined sound for a players' iron.
Looks at address
Class-leadingWins on looks - the shorter blade length and more compact, confidence-inspiring shape, with a fuller, deeper cavity, win on looks over the i230, a clean players' footprint. One of the best-looking players' irons of its era.
