iDi: the questions buyers ask
- Is the PING iDi forgiving?
- Less than most here. It is PING's players distance utility iron, with lofts up to 23°. It scores 2.0 of 5 on our reading of what PING publishes about it; the most forgiving utility irons we cover score 3.0.
- Who is the iDi for?
- It suits good strikers who want a long iron that launches higher.
- Does the iDi come in senior or ladies flex?
- Senior, yes; ladies, no. PING lists regular (R), stiff (S) and extra stiff (X); Golf Discount also sells it in soft regular (Project X Denali Red 80), which we count as senior (A).
- Is the iDi sold left-handed?
- Yes: PING sells it left- and right-handed.
- How much does the iDi cost?

How the 2.0 adds up
The forgiveness score is our reading of what PING publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head | 2 | A players' utility iron: a compact, hollow iron head that forgives a little, scored as a players distance iron is. |
| Forgiveness score | 2.0 | of 5 |
A hybrid of the same loft forgives more than any utility iron. Loft, flex and hand decide which version fits you, not how forgiving it is.
