PING introduces i25 series, Karsten irons, Karsten TR
putters
PHOENIX (Jan. 2, 2014) – PING today introduced a comprehensive new product line
that delivers big distance gains while offering forgiveness and consistency for
golfers of all abilities. Products include the i25™ driver, irons, fairway woods
and hybrids; the long, high-flying Karsten® hybrid/iron set, and the Karsten® TR
putters with fully machined variable-depth grooves. Also unveiled was the
innovative PWR metal-wood shaft family that uses variable weight and balance
points to ensure a proper fit.
The new products can be pre-ordered beginning today at PING-authorised golf
shops.
“Our constant push for innovation continues to inspire technologies that help
every type of golfer play better,” said John A. Solheim, PING Chairman & CEO.
“The new metal woods and irons carry a common theme of increased distance but
are engineered with the improved consistency, forgiveness and feel that we
design into all PING clubs. Together with a proper fitting to determine the best
combination of models, golfers can expect improved performance throughout their
set. To help golfers make more putts, our patented variable-depth-groove
technology is milled directly into the face of the new Karsten TR series,
yielding unmatched distance control.”
A distinguishing characteristic of the i25 driver and fairway woods are subtle
racing stripes on the crown, which improve the consistency of clubface
orientation at impact. The same width as a golf ball, the stripes offer a visual
cue (consciously or sub-consciously) that can lead to multiple benefits. They
can help the player aim the clubface accurately, align one’s body to the target,
and assist in taking the club back on the proper path. All of which helps
facilitate delivering the clubface squarely at impact, Solheim said.
To optimise performance with the i25 driver, fairway woods and hybrids, PING
engineered an industry-first shaft series that offers different weights and flex
profiles without altering the club’s swingweight. Called PWR (Performance,
Weighting, and Responsiveness), the shafts are matched to golfers by the weight
and flex that fits the motion of their golf swing and their desired shot shape.
“With adjustable clubs, fitting for shaft weight has been limited because of its
effect on swingweight. The PWR Series overcomes that by varying the CG location
of the different weights so we can offer options that optimize ball flight while
providing a better-feeling, more-responsive shaft,” Solheim said.
New product descriptions and technical specifications:
i25™ Adjustable Driver (se bilde øverst på siden)
For all ability levels, the multi-material i25 driver helps reduce spin while
increasing launch angle for ideal launch conditions that optimise distance and
accuracy. A high strength-to-weight ratio Ti 8-1-1 body is joined to a
variable-thickness Ti 6-4 face, ensuring maximum energy transfer for generating
faster ball speeds for greater distance. High-density tungsten sole weights
lower the CG to reduce spin for a flatter ball flight and a landing angle that
maximises roll out. Strategic placement of the weights significantly increases
MOI, which means golfers will spend more time in the fairway. Patented racing
stripes create more-consistent clubface alignment at impact, a crucial
ingredient to improved driving. Using Trajectory Tuning technology, standard
lofts are adjustable +-1/2º. The lightweight, adjustable hosel maintains the
same outer diameter and mass of PING’s traditional fixed hosels and provides the
benefits of adjustability without sacrificing the performance that’s often lost
in clubs with bulkier designs. PING’s industry-first PWR shaft family offers
unique weights and stiffness profiles without altering swingweight.
- Lofts 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5° (Adjustable +- ½ degree)
- Stock graphite shafts: PWR 55 (R, S); PWR 65 (R, S, Tour S, Tour XS); PWR 75
(S, Tour S, Tour XS)
- Std. Length 45.25 inches, 207g, 460cc
- RRP 3499 NOK
 i25™
Irons
The 17-4 stainless steel irons deliver forgiveness and distance with control to
inspire confident shot making. In the progressive set design, the long irons are
designed with head sizes and sole widths that deliver high trajectory and
extreme forgiveness. The more compact mid and short irons have narrow soles and
less offset for enhanced accuracy and scoring. Narrow face-stabilising bars in
the long irons increase ball velocity for added distance and height while wider
bars in the short irons produce a controlled, lower ball flight with softer feel.
The careful design details in the club’s shape and set progression are captured
with an inspiring foggy chrome finish. Tungsten weighting in the low toe
increases forgiveness. A machined face and grooves deliver control and
consistency.
- Available 3-9, PW, UW, SW, LW
- Stock steel shaft: PING CFS® (Soft R, R, S, X)
- Stock graphite shaft: TFC 189i (Soft R, R, S)
- RRP: 905 NOK per club w/steel shaft; 1105 NOK per club w/graphite shaft.
i25™ Adjustable Fairway Woods (se bilde øverst på siden)
Compact and hot off the tee, the 17-4 stainless steel heads offer a sleeker
frame to enhance shot making. A taller face with an extremely thin perimeter
design helps increase ball velocity for distance and versatility, while improved
internal weighting bolsters MOI for accuracy. Racing stripes help golfers
deliver the clubface consistently at impact, a crucial performance variable.
Using Trajectory Tuning technology, lofts are adjustable +-1/2º. The lightweight,
adjustable hosel maintains the same outer diameter and mass of PING’s
traditional fixed hosels and provides the benefits of adjustability without
sacrificing the performance that’s often lost in clubs with bulkier designs.
PING’s industry-first PWR shaft family offers unique weights and stiffness
profiles without altering swingweight.
- Available S3W (14º), 3W (15º), 5W (18º) (Adjustable +- ½ degree)
- Stock graphite shafts: PWR 55 (R, S); PWR 65 (R, S, Tour S, Tour XS); PWR 75
(S, Tour S, Tour XS)
- RRP 2199 NOK
 i25™ Hybrids
The compact, 17-4 stainless steel i25 hybrids have a more-forward hosel axis and
less bulge and roll than a traditional hybrid. The offset is engineered for high
launch, while the reduced bulge and roll enhances shot making and control. A
straighter lead edge and more squared-off toe promote accurate aim and alignment.
A compressed profile and shorter heel-toe length improve turf interaction and
ensure solid contact from any type of lie. To maximise distance with functional
distance gapping, a farther-back CG in the lower-lofted hybrids promotes higher
launch; a lower, more-forward CG in the higher-lofted heads reduces spin. The
PWR 80 and 90 shafts maintain the same swingweight across all weights and flexes.
- Available 17º, 19º, 22º, 26º
- Stock graphite shafts: PWR 80 (R, S, Tour S); PWR 90 (S, Tour S, Tour XS)
- RRP 1899 NOK
 
Karsten® Hybrid/Iron Set
In the 17-4 stainless steel irons, longer distance comes from
precision-engineered loft and club length progressions scientifically paired
with wide sole designs that yield a deep Centre of Gravity. The Custom Tuning
Port integrates with the sole, which reinforces the thinner face to increase
ball velocity for greater distance and maximum height. Made of soft elastomer,
the CTP produces a solid feel, an attribute that is often sacrificed in
distance-focused irons. The forgiving sole positions the CG low and back for
higher maximum height while helping the club glide through the turf for
increased forgiveness. The hybrids have a deeper head profile and a wide sole to
blend seamlessly with the irons for proper distance gapping and trajectories.
The CG locations are progressive – farther back in the lower-lofted heads to
promote higher launch; they are lower and more forward in the higher-lofted
options to reduce spin. Extreme internal heel-and-toe weighting raises the MOI,
so golfers don’t always have to hit it perfectly to get maximum performance.
- Available 3H, 4H, 5H, 5-9, PW, UW, SW
- Stock steel shaft: PING CFS® Distance (Soft R, R, S, X)
- Stock graphite shaft: KS 401 (Soft R, R, S)
- RRP 865 NOK per club w/steel shaft; 1025 NOK per club w/graphite shaft
(Hybrids available only with graphite shaft and not sold separately)
 Karsten®
TR Putters
Some of PING’s most successful, timeless and tour-proven head designs are
showcased in the five new putters featuring TR (True Roll) technology.
Variable-depth grooves are milled directly into the face, providing unmatched
distance control. Grooves are deepest in the centre and shallower toward the
perimeter for greatly improved ball-speed consistency and distance control,
leading to more putts made and fewer three-putts. An elastomer back-cavity
insert enhances sound and feel for valuable auditory feedback. Available in a
fixed-length shaft (35 inches is standard) or an adjustable version that can be
modified between 31 inches and 38 inches to optimise fitting accuracy prior to a
round. The copper PVD finish offers a distinctive appeal. Models fit all stroke
types: Straight, Slight Arc, and Strong Arc.
