When a brand has a successful iron franchise, I eagerly anticipate the release of a new iteration to see what has been tweaked. It is a very fine line between success and failure. Change too much and you risk compromising the identity of the model, but change too little and it is difficult to convince golfers to upgrade. Irons like the i210 and i230 were a roaring success both on tour and at retail, so I was fascinated to see what the new Ping i240 iron had to offer and whether it could take its place alongside the best irons in the game.
