Looking to sit among the best compact mid-handicap irons, Ping’s new i530 arrives with fresh aesthetics and some new technology. It’s an iron that should suit a wide range of golfers, with the looks of the i530 absolutely spot on for this category of club. There’s enough real estate behind the ball to inspire confidence, but not so much that it looks like it should be in the game-improvement category, while the relatively minimal offset will appeal to the better player.
This is a tough sector in which to please everyone on the looks front as itstrikes just the right balance in our books.
