We tested: 4-9, PW, UW, SW in Ping AWT steel shaft. Shaft length/loft (6-iron): 37.25"/30.5°
Company line: "The rib structure of the 'custom tuning port' stabilizes the face and improves feel and shot consistency. Weight savings from the cavity and face structure is positioned on the low toe to provide a high moment-of-inertia for its blade length."
Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: Very good shot correction from the fairway and tee; no-frills classic Ping look; higher ball flight than most; a single white scoring line frames the ball well; club helps on thin shots; steady, stable clubhead going through the rough; allows you to miss a little and get away with it; good sticks to have on days that you're not swinging your best.
CONS: Lacks crisp feel on chips; dull finish looks unattractive next to others tested; not for you if you prefer "forged" feel; high flight could be affected in windy conditions.
"Playable enough for single-digit types but also suited for mid-handicappers." — Joe Nagel (4)
