Forged-face speed, hidden forgiveness and a compact blade-style profile for golfers who want distance without the bulky look.
3-Iron Through UWRight & Left HandHydroPearl 2.0 Finish
Product Overview
Distance Technology Hidden Inside a Clean Shape
The PING i525 is engineered for golfers who prefer the compact profile of a players iron but want more ball speed, launch and forgiveness. Its hollow-body, multi-material construction combines a forged maraging-steel face with internal weighting and sound-tuning technology, creating a powerful iron that maintains a refined appearance behind the ball.
01
Forged Maraging Face
A thin, variable-thickness face and internal sole undercut increase flexing for faster, higher-launching shots.
02
Tuned Sound and Feel
Precisely placed polymer behind the face refines the impact experience without restricting the flex that creates speed.
03
Players-Preferred Profile
A modest topline, compact blade length and controlled offset give the i525 a clean, confident look at address.
Extreme Weighting
Forgiveness Without Advertising It
Tungsten toe and shaft-tip weights expand perimeter weighting inside the compact head. Working with the tiered face and cavity structure, this placement raises stability and helps tighten dispersion while preserving face deflection.
MicroMax Grooves
More Grooves for Predictable Spin
Tighter groove spacing adds an average of four grooves to each face. The geometry is designed to reduce fliers in the short irons and preserve useful spin in the long irons for more consistent distance control.

Who It’s For
For Golfers Who Want Speed in a Compact Iron
The i525 is a strong fit for golfers who strike the ball reasonably well, prefer a smaller players-style head and still want help producing distance and launch. It also works well for players considering a blended set, using the i525 in the longer irons for speed while selecting a more control-focused model in the scoring clubs.
