Could it be a comeback for their forged Anser iron?

Hope they'll look better this time

I would guess that these would replace the i series. The i and g-max should be scheduled for replacement in odd numbered years. The g series and blades come out in even years. At least this is the 2 year cycle that ping has been doing recently.

When I saw the Rep back in November, he told me it was an iron between the I and Blade.  But He didn't say anything about woods or anything along those lines so I'm guessing it'll just be the I200 irons which I'm more than fine with. I should have asked him more about it, but I was rushing out of the shop. We'll have more information pretty soon here of course. But they do look pretty!! :-)

Sooooooo I was able to hit about 15 balls with the i200 7 iron today. I had an s300 shaft in there which I'm not sure I liked especially when I've played the c taper lite for so long. I love the look of the club. Very pleasing to my eye. The feel was okay, but I don't think it was a fair shot since I was essentially hitting frozen range balls and it's the first time I've swung in about two months. Here are a few pics.

Thanks for the pics! Ever since playing the i20s I've always liked the look of the Pings in this range. A smaller head, not bulky, more of a blade-like appearance. I could definitely game those.

I am certainly checking them out at my fitting at Ping HQ in a couple of weeks.

Can't wait to hear about your experience there.

i hit a set the other day, its hard for me to compare iron though, since i bought my Miuras....

 

I will say super simple and clean design and actually hit the 7iron about 6-8 yards farther than mine. I would def be okay playing these if i had to.

It looks like the old TM Rac Irons with more forgiveness. I used to have the i e1 irons and they were very easy to hit but I found that the long irons had way too much offset. From the pictures I have seen online these look to have a lot less than the previous version. I'll hit them to compare

I took two i200 fitting cart 7 irons to the range for a quick hit today. One was shafted with KBS Tour 120 stiff, the other TT DG S300. It took me all of three hits to rule out the KBS.

So, I hit my Z545 7 iron vs the DG 7 iron i200. The ball flight was noticeably higher with the i200, and surprisingly, the distance was right on par! That shocked me. Ping is saying it's their "softest" iron or i club yet, but it wasn't cushy. My Z still has a better feel. I loved the way the i200 looked at address, and I actually liked the ball flight I was seeing. It never ballooned. After this very short time with a club that was a 1/2" too short to start, it's definitely a club I would game. I liked it a lot. Not sure I like it better than the iBlades though!!!

Man the 545 are still gorgeous irons... I am guessing it would have to be a noticeable gain in order to switch
