PING irons are known for their great feel and longevity. If you still have a set of the iconic PING Eye 2s lying around, you know exactly what we mean.
The PING G410 irons aren’t the latest release but they are still an option that many golfers are considering for a quality investment. We tested the PING G410 irons and they performed well in some areas. Here’s a look at their specifications, overall performance and technology.
PING G410 At A Glance
The PING G410 was released in 2019 and was featured in our 2020 Best Game-Improvement irons testing. They finished in the middle of the pack, registering high ball speed, high launch and high spin.
This is a cavity-back iron offering greater forgiveness than the blade-style irons in the PING lineup.
The G series from PING is usually one of their most forgiving iron choices.
Pros
- Clean-looking irons with a thinner top-down look and thinner soles
- A good option for precision, more workable than other game-improvement choices
- A large flexing zone in the center of the face allows for higher launch angle and ball flight
- Impressive feel and sound thanks to the Co-Molded Cavity Badge
Cons
- A shorter blade length can be a tough adjustment when switching from other cavity-back irons
- Greater distance can be achieved with Callaway and even TaylorMade irons
PING G410 Features
The PING G410 are game-improvement irons that have been superseded by the PING G425 and G430 irons. Interestingly, some of the technology in the G410 irons remains in the latest models.
Arccos Smart Sensors
Every PING G410 is equipped with the Arccos Smart Sensors. These attach to the end of the grip and track your shots without you having to do anything more. If you want to learn more about your game, this is a great way to grab some data.
Co-Molded Aluminum and Elastomer Badge
PING placed a Co-Molded Cavity Badge in the irons to help dampen vibration. When these irons went through testing, they were some of the more preferred when it came to feel. PING put some R&D into the sound of the PING G410 as well. When you pure one, it sounds great.
Refined Profile
With the PING G410 irons being the game-improvement club in their lineup, it’s important to mention the refined shape. These are cleaner looking than previous PING irons and not overly clunky from the top down.
If you’re a golfer who’s a little picky about less offset and a clean look, this club will check those boxes. They aren’t blades but the combination of shape and the Hydropearl finish works well.
COR-Eye Technology
To increase forgiveness, PING incorporated the COR-Eye technology. The cascading sole design and deep top-rail undercut work well to maximize the efficiency of the sweet spot.
Add in some toe/hosel weighting and you get forgiveness in conjunction with distance.
Higher Trajectory- Good StopPING Power
The higher trajectory and higher spin rates coming from the PING G410 irons make them a good choice when controlling approach shots to the green. You may not hit them as far as something like the Callaway Mavrik. However, you should have no problem getting the golf ball to stop on the green.
PING G410 Loft
The traditional lofts of the PING G410 are strong but not like you’ll find in Callaway game-improvement irons. In our 2020 testing, the launch angle and overall height of the mid-iron shots from PING G410 irons were among some of the highest.
The Power Spec Loft option is probably the way to go if you’re seeking pure distance. You probably only want to do this if your swing speed is a bit faster and you launch the ball quite high already.
| Club | Traditional Loft | Power Spec Loft |
| 4-iron | 20.5° | 19.0° |
| 5-iron | 23.5° | 22.0° |
| 6-iron | 26.5° | 25.0° |
| 7-iron | 30.0° | 28.5° |
| 8-iron | 34.5° | 32.5° |
| 9-iron | 39.5° | 37.5° |
| PW | 44.5° | 42.5° |
| UW | 49.5° | 47.5° |
| SW | 54.0° | 52.5° |
| LW | 58.0° | 58.0° |
Shaft Options
The PING G410 irons have a stock graphite shaft, the PING Alta CB Red. The steel stock shaft is the PING AWT 2.0.
Who Should Play With PING G410 Irons

- Golfers who value feel over distance in their golf clubs
- Any player seeking a game-improvement perimeter-weighted iron that is also somewhat workable
- Players struggling with a lower trajectory
- Golfers seeking faster ball speeds while still maintaining control over their shots

Final Thoughts
High MOI (moment of inertia), easy launch and that impressive PING feel are the big benefits of the PING G410. I can tell you that when I tested these, the biggest benefits were consistency and feel. They weren’t the longest but I kept producing the same shots that felt great. The G410 finished in the middle of the pack when we did our testing. However, if you are a PING fan looking for a (now) affordable upgrade, the G410 could do it.
