Ping i525

The i525 is Ping's 2022 hollow-body forged face distance iron, designed to deliver players-cavity feel from a construction more associated with game-improvement performance. The 30.5-degree 7-iron loft puts it in direct competition with the P790 and Apex 21, but the Hydropearl 2.0 finish gave it notably better turf interaction from wet rough compared to either competitor, which matters on courses with consistent moisture in the short grass. Offset at 0.08 inches (approximately 2mm) is modest for a distance iron. For a used buyer who plays in conditions where turf interaction is a factor, the i525 is worth prioritizing over the P790 at comparable prices.
