PING i230 is the second best player's iron for 2024 testing. Accuracy is our strongest weighted scoring category for player's iron testing and this helps propel PING i230 to its overall finish. PING i230 ranks 2nd overall for accuracy, which is highlighted by its accuracy score with a 5-iron. It is safe to say that PING excels at making long irons as this is just another prime example of their stellar performance.
► You prioritize accuracy: Being able to hit a player’s iron accurately is key to performance. PING i230 is a stud performer when it comes to accuracy, especially in the long iron part of the golf bag.
✖︎ You want forgiveness potential in a player’s iron: Although PING i230 is one of the most accurate player’s irons, there is a tradeoff. It ranks towards the bottom in forgiveness based on our data. To us, forgiveness is a demonstration of how consistent a golf club produces similar shot outcomes, especially when it comes to ball speed, carry, and dispersion.
Distance Taking into account total distance and carry distance, our distance scoring is a metric ultimately telling you the total yards achieved by the club.

Accuracy Accuracy evaluates if a player’s shots with each club are above or below what’s expected based on that player’s skill level. By eliminating variables in player ability, accuracy determines how well the club improves a player’s overall score.

Forgiveness Forgiveness measures how well a club corrects for hits that are center or off center off the face of the club. A high forgiveness rating tells you that a club does well at maintaining consistency in performance when your swing fluctuates.

Ball Speed Ball speed measures how fast the ball is traveling off the face of the club. We eliminate variables like player swing speed or ability, so you can compare ball speeds off the face as affected by the club, not the player.

Fairways Hit We evaluate the percentage of shots that hit the fairway compared to shots in the rough. This shows the accuracy of a club, with a higher percentage earning a higher accuracy rating.

Enjoyed the article. I was surprised with the lack of forgiveness comments. That was a huge selling point when I got fitted for my i200s several years ago. How much do you think the stock shaft influenced the forgiveness? I customed my stock shafts out to KBS C-Taper Lites.
