PING Introduces G710 Distance Irons With Arccos Caddie Smart Grips

Ping has announced their new G710 irons, engineered to deliver more distance and forgiveness in a sleek, dark finish. 

 

The G710 iron is Ping's longest, most forgiving iron to date.  But Ping also advanced other important attributes such as consistency, sound, and feel without sacrificing performance. 

The hydropearl stealth chrome finish gives it a very sleek and attractive look.  It's a beautiful, high-performance design that will have broad appeal for golfers who want to hit the ball longer and straighter. 

The new G710 irons come standard with Arccos Caddie Smart Grips and a free trial of the Arccos Caddie app.  Acccos can help you with club selection, an analyzing data after a round to uncover strength and weakness areas.  

Precision Machined, Maraging Steel Face 
One of the strongest aerospace-grade alloys in the world, maraging steel provides strength and flexibility for launching shots higher and farther.  High durability coupled with a machined variable-thickness face make an ideal pairing for distance. 

 

5-Percent Higher MOI 

High-density tungsten toe and heel weights optimally positioned in the 17-4 stainless body increase the MOI by 5-percent compared to the G700, producing exceptional forgiveness for more distance and accuracy, especially for mid-to-high handicaps and slower swing speeds. 

Hydropearl Stealth Chrome Finish 
A hydropearl chrome finish with black PVD coating provides hydrophobicity to repel water and improve performance through the turf and in wet conditions.  The two-stage coating process ensures durability and the darker finish creates the perception of a smaller, more compact head.

Alta Distanza Black 40 Graphite Shaft 
The proprietary PING shaft is a no-upcharge option in the G710 iron and offers the lightest weight and max trajectory height available in a PING iron shaft.  A more active tip in the 43-gram shaft delivers higher trajectories and best matches golfers with slower swing speeds.

Arccos Caddie Smart Grip & Arccos Caddie app 
The Arccos Caddie Golf Pride 360 Tour Velvet Smart Grip is standard on every G710 iron in one of three sizes (Aqua -1/64", White Std., Gold +1/32").  Each iron is custom built with an embedded sensor in the grip to automatically record and analyze every shot taken during a round when paired with the Arccos Caddie app.  Golfers receive a 90-day free trial of the app (then $99.99 annual subscription) and eight additional screw-in sensors at no charge after the purchase of six or more G710 irons.  Fulfillment of the additional free sensors comes directly from PING and requires users to first download the Arccos Caddie app.
