Are Ping G5 Irons Still Relevant?

[AutoOrdnance]

I am considering new irons to replace my ACER XK that I bought last year...  There are 2 main reasons for this decision.  1. I was told that my ACERs cannot be adjusted to the 2.25* flat that PiNG recommends and 2.  I ordered my irons 1" short and I now realize that was a bit drastic...  anyhow I am considering the G5 irons but I am not sure if a club that came out 7 years ago is worth the money... any thoughts would be appreciated.

I can get the g5s for $350

Depends on how much you can get them for.

If they're in good shape, they're not all that different than the current ones.

That's not horrible. If they work for you I'd say go with 'em.

they are brand new clubs and ping told me they could adjust them to orange/aqua grip for me...  so for $350 I am thinking go for it/

There is barely any difference between the G5s and the G15s or G20s.  Several years ago (2006 maybe) I believe the G5s were rated the top game improvement club on the market.  So if you've been fitted and know exactly what you're looking for, they would be a safe bet from a bang for the buck perspective.

Good luck!
