Byrdman2230 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 The aesthetics are more inline with the i20/i25 irons, which isn’t a bad thing. Those were great irons and I’m sure these will be great too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladesOShanter Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Nice pics! I held the 7-iron in my hands yesterday, and am going to hit them today. Diidn't realize the offset was so much on the 4-iron, which your photo shows..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestHacker Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 All their other new lines look like continuations of good cosmetics. These dont do it for me. Im sure they'll perform, because Ping irons usually do, but they give me the anti-fizz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the iBlades felt fantastic. Mizuno will always feel like Mizuno and just different - that a gooey forged feel. I thought the i230 felt decent. These do not and I don't know why they are so different - even acoustically - from the i230 because they have an elastomer insert and are likely the same casting material. ...just goes to show what these club designers are up against. I've started to think that these YouTube golf influencers have been told by PING to mention the softness, because it seems scripted. A few talk about how great the carbon looks, and I don't think anyone likes the carbon - again a bit scripted. They performed well - I'll leave it on that optimistic note. 1 Quote PING G440 LST 9° Tour Black PING G440 Max 15° Tour Chrome PING G440h 20° Velicore+ Blue 8 PING iBlade 4-P Modus 115 PING S159 50.54.60 Spider Tour X Db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlkNGld Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 After you see enough of these you start learning how to read between the lines. Reviewers struggle between wanting to preserve their integrity (if nothing to themselves) but they also want to ensure that they keep getting new stuff for content. Often what's not said is at least as key as what is said. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pullfade Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I've played or tried almost everything Ping since Eye 2 and would never look to play Ping based on feel, with the exception of BP. I look to them for performance and if they happen to feel good that would be a bonus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beluga99 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I must be an outlier on feel, as all the irons I have played in the last 20 years felt butter when flushed. I have played the i20, iE, i230, MMC-20, 919 Tour, MP-69, W/S blades and have recently acquired a set of 925 Forged. I agree they do feel different when mishit, some are better with thin shots, but when hit out of the sweet spot with a premium ball, they all feel pretty darn good to me. Maybe eating a bunch of paint chips as a kid, and watching the food spin around in the microwave too closely has dulled my senses. I am looking forward to hitting these at some point. 2 Quote G430 LST 9* 3Deep 15* G425 19* 26* 925F 5-P S22 51* Zipcore 56* S20 60* Spider Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumpy Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) okay, ducked in a tried the irons, 1. the clubs feel very similar to my i230s when setup exactly the same. (no surprises) 2. they perform very well, (again no surprises) 3. They look nicer in the metal than in photos but i still hate the look While I was there I tried the cobra 3DP Tour and the Apex CB. Farout these two irons feel so nice. 3DP very forgiving, Apex CB I feel would be best off natural grass. If I upgrade irons I'll be probably going to cobra though I got a few fliers from it... I have to assume it was just trackman being weird because there is no reason for the fliers...

I'm not too picky about sound, however, when you said they feel bad, that was the deal breaker. Not a fan of cast in general, but some metals in general feel better cast than others. I may have to go with blue print S then.
