Ping i3+ Blade. The i3+ Series features two different models- the i3+ and the i3+ Blade. This Ping i3+ Blade model appeals to players who seek the classic look and feel of a club with less offset and a smaller head. The reduced offset offers less bounce for better players to "pick" at the ball from tight fairways. Ping engineers also put slightly more offset in the shorter irons of the Blade (compared to the original i3 Blade), which helps players "square up" their shots, while still maintaining a classic look throughout the set. Both models feature a lead edge which lowers the face surface for easier movement through the turf and more consistent ball contact. The lead edge and bounce translate into improved playability from a wide range of lies and conditions.
