You will not be disappointed at all. They rock out. Once they do show up and you give them a little practice time you will def want to come back and tell everyone how great they are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After seeing both sets in person over the weekend I can say both have a players iron look. Regardless of tech built in and who they’re made for, both fit my eye and trust me the only irons that fit my eye are players irons. I’m not a fan of blades because I like a little forgiveness not saying they don’t look good. I just think it’s stupid to play them unless you can wear a penny sized spot in the face of your 6,7,8,9 and pw in 1 season. I was able to accomplish this in two seasons but i still consider myself not good enough to play them. If you can’t then you’re wasting shots, time, effort and you’re not good enough to game muscle back blades. These offerings from ping are amazing on what they claim they can do. I can’t wait until next year when maybe I can get a set on sale or maybe slightly used. I’ve had the same irons now since 2005 when I got them for graduating from college.

Nice stage one. That is a smooth swing and congrats on making it down to single digits. That’s a real accomplishment Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea shanks I know exactly what you mean. I’m not sure either. I’ve learned to soften the wrists and arms in my swing and apply less torque on the wedges. I wonder if it’s really the shaft or if it’s all in our heads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I entered to test both the i200 and i210. Love them. I just saw the i210’s for the first time and they’re amazing looking. They look great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like a heavier feel especially in the wedges. I like D5 or more and I had to get used to these as is for testing purposes so I may put on lead tape if needed but currently I'm gaming them so I've adjusted nicely. I was worried but I've definitely figured it out and my distance control is spot on. I'm sure I've improved due to the amount of wedge practice I've gotten. If I could I'd practice everyday on short game but I can't. The drive is there but time isn't. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good point on the Dunlap stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice work bardle. Keep working on that short game and it'll drop like a rock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wanna see them blue suede shoes! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks brotatochip. The wedges are awesome tools. I still can't believe I get to keep em. [emoji28] This whole thing was awesome and the support from the community was great. This was a dream come true Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking great bardle Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right. Its super fun and a great problem to have. It's odd that for every club you add over 14 the golf bag seems to get exponentially heavier lol. I already struggle getting it out of the car. I hate to lose golf balls and love finding them. So take any average day and I may lose one ball but find 2-4. So I've easily got 25-35 balls in the bag lol. I always worry about running out but I never seem to eat into brand new sleeves. I've still got two dozen pro v's from 2011 and 2012 from competing in a tourney. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stage 2 Posted! Not sure why all videos don't show the preview window. Cheers.

Butter-nut squashed next to a pin Knock down from 120 into some wind. 50 degree knocked it dead straight l. I leaned I can't put for sh$@! Lol. Hit all but two fairways. Hit all but 5 greens. Two putt everything for 5 over. I had 10-5 feet all day and couldn't make a thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can't wait to post stage 2. It's almost done. I actually want a few more videos so this Saturday I'm going to have a buddy film for me on Saturday and post it up the same day. Yes old man shoes and they are comfy. I didn't want to be wearing crocs for that one hahaha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Me too. On board. It would be annoying to get notification that someone said something only to find it saying ‘hey nice putter. Wish I was in the market.' Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hard pan- not a problem. Overall I feel these wedges have low bounce with only the middle lofts 54 and 56 having what one would consider high even though it's not high by any manufacturers standards. I'd call the bounce just right. I thought I'd have issues because I'm a digger driver and feel bounce is misunderstood. People get fit into a wedge by how they normally come down into the call. Some are shallow and we call them sweepers. Some are steeper and we call them diggers. Some are steep and drive towards the target hard. We call those digger drivers. Usually takes large divots and had a mix of thin or fat misses. The sweepers usually always skull the ball for their miss and seldom hit a fat shot. Some also use different bounce depending on conditions and those are either tour players or we can just classify them as rich lol because 1 they're traveling to play golf a lot and 2 can afford several different 3 to 4 wedge sets which almost always equal 400 plus dollars because it seems all wedges cost 150. These are so amazingly good I cannot figure out how or why they're sub 100 but I'd say if you like wedges and hitting different shots than getting a 3 wedge setup from them for 300 or less is an amazing bargain. As others mentioned these could easily cost 150. It's a premium forged wedge with laser milled grooves. The balls are holding up great. I wouldn't say these zip as much as a Cleveland or Vokey or Mack daddy. They do spin enough though. Just not rip the cover off like others do. So far mine show very little wear and tear. So they don't cost much, feel and look great. They spin well. They can play from hard pan and normal firmness. They can hit all the different shots. I'd say if they have a weakness it's not playing from super wet conditions that well at least for me. With the small amount of bounce I find I tend get major drag and digging. So to compensate I try to shallow or sometimes flinch which causes the dreaded skull for me. I really trap that ball and just my motion is steeper so I find I'd want a little more bounce because bounce is my friend. To be clear huge flanges aren't bounce and aren't my friend either lol. So don't be picturing the alien wedge thinking hey this is what Someone needs if They're skulling it all the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll say mine are holding up great as well. Minimal if any bag chatter and the grooves still look virtually new. I've used them for a lot of range time plus lots of rounds where no ones out and you can hit 5-6 balls into the hole. So I've gotten a ton of use. Loving how these few and how well they're holding up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I concur azstu. The wedge doesn't give up a thing. I think they have to be loosing money. These are super high quality forged steel and for no reason other than beg these are prices to move. Come on folks. Wowzers. I am literally saying these wedges are the steal of the century because they're super high quality steel forged into a high quality wedge. They are gorgeous and perform. What more do you want right lol. Note these are for sweepers and sliders. Not diggers and drivers. I have a gap. 50 degree. I have a ping glide 2.0 50 degree that played 130. The Bridgestone 50 plays the same. Same everything oddly because the shaft is supposed to add spin but if you got no issues adding it then I believe it knocks it off because I'm getting similar numbers.

I've done paint fill and always something changes so it makes no sense. Either you paint match say a golf bag and after two or four years you get a new bag or tastes change. I've found clean no fill to look sweet no matter what it's placed next to. Every head cover matches. It can't look any sweeter than zero paint. I'm not planning on doing anything to them but as I state tastes always change. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Putting some tour sauce on it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Idk. Can't tell what you're aiming at visually but hips feet and shoulders aligned where the ball started. Nice setup Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think those extra yards maybe from the shaft. I don't notice anything extra on full shots. The full shots are spot on compared to anything with same lofts. but those 75% shots I'm seeing an occasional jump. It feels as though the shaft just unloads and throws that ball IMO. Yesterday I had about 90 yards and so I put a 80% swing on the 58 degree. It went the same distance as a full swing. Blew the damn ball over the green. In the air for a second based on feel I thought be good until I noticed it just piercing thru the air. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd say for wedges or higher lofted clubs- a 4-5 degree spacing should be maintained. So like you seeing you've got a 50 and 52 which sounds like a mistake in terms of which clubs you chose. I'd say whichever is more consistent in terms of distance control is the one you keep. You don't want a 52 that occasionally goes as long as the 50 and you don't want a 50 that occasionally goes as short as the 52. For me I'm trying to hit the numbers. Stock PW goes 140, my 58 goes 105. To fill the gaps I wanted a 115 club and a 128/130 club. So 50,54,58 work well to fill the numbers I want. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
