Ping irons tend to be chunky. It’s not a criticism, just a statement of fact. They’re engineered, and if forgiveness come from them being chunky then so be it.

Robert Redford is alive and kicking calling reports on Twitter that the “Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid” actor had died falling from a golf buggy “a sick hoax.”
You’ve got the new clubs. Your shoes, and your golf shoes are on point. You’re head to toe in JL, or Oscar Jacobson and you know you look a million dollars. But something is missing.
