Phelps, 27, is the subject of this year’s. He knows how difficult the game of golf is, but he is really serious about getting better and the experts at Ping have already helped him a lot. Because of his 6-foot-4 frame, Phelps’s Ping G25 irons are one inch over standard length, three degrees upright, and with grips that a 1/32-inch over standard size.
The G25 irons have a good deal of offset especially with the longer irons. The face is very traditional and not distracting at all. The last groove in the face is painted white as is tradition with PING clubs. Also the face has the club number engraved into the face, which is a great added feature.
The G25 irons have less offset in the shorter irons when compared to the cheap Ping G20 irons, but still quite a bit more than some of the other irons I have reviewed. To some golfers this can be a distraction, but with most golfers now playing hybrids that may no longer be the case. I did not find this a distraction while I was using the irons.
The performance of the irons was second to none, and should put these irons at the top of anyones list to try if considering a new purchase. Without this opportunity to review these irons I likely would have never given these irons a second look. I think all of the changes that PING made to the G25 irons over the G20 irons were all very good changes. Starting from the darker finish, thinner top line, thinner sole, reduced offset, and all the performance enhancements they made with the change to the CTP.
I understand that with the G25 irons PING has reduced the amount of offset, but especially with the longer irons there is still quite a bit. For the better players this amount of offset may be a little bit of a turn off. I found the four and five cheap golf clubs to have a bit of overdraw to them when I first started working with the irons. After I got use to the amount that was there this became less of an issue.
Most testers control distance adequately on solid strikes; short irons are easy to place where you want them when you make a good pass at the ball. They're Ping's and they feel like you'd expect -- solid, with a firm message to the hands through the shot; very stable at impact, no twisting at all.
In my opinion the G25 irons have an excellent balance between feeling where you hit the shot and being forgivine enough not to punish you too much when you do miss. This is the most redeeming quality of these irons. Source from: http://www.golfsetau.com/article-410-Phelps%E2%80%99s-G25-irons-are-one-inch-.html
