Cavity back irons have historically been associated with higher handicap golfers, but that has changed slightly over the last few years and these Ping G440 irons are no different. The added forgiveness they provide is too good to turn down for most club golfers, even a lot of Tour players game cavity backs.

The G440 irons add speed while enhancing forgiveness in a slimmed-down shape. A new heat-treatment process strengthened the 17-4 steel used for the clubhead, allowing for a variable-thickness face that is 9 percent thinner than the G430 for added ball speed.
