PING's driving irons are top performers. PING iDi has gigantic shoes to fill as it replaces arguably one of the best golf clubs we've ever tested. It is a tall task to live up to expectations and PING iDi falls just short. That being said, it is a good, but not great, driving iron. It claims second place overall in testing. PING iDi shines for distance and forgiveness. However, it misses the mark for accuracy relative to the field. Unlike its predecessor, it isn't adjustable, which may have led to a below average performance for accuracy. Ultimately, it is still a high performing driving iron and should be among your top choices.
► You want a proven winner: Look, this wasn’t the year for PING’s newest driving iron – iDi. But, PING has a tremendous track record of excelling in the driving iron category. Although PING iDi doesn’t win the category, it is still a rock solid performer. If you want distance, it offers plenty of it. If you want consistent shot outcomes, it is one of the best for forgiveness. Overall, it is worth testing out.
✖︎ You want accuracy: Ultimately, this is what keeps PING iDi from claiming the top spot. Accuracy is our highest weighted scoring metric and a poor performance in it can derail any hope of being number one. The lack of adjustability might be the cause for below average accuracy. If you are considering this driving iron, go through a fitting, especially for lie angle and playing length to ensure optimal performance.
