Doc1 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 So I was at a Demo Day this past Friday (6/16/18) hitting irons and the Ping Rep mentioned that Ping was going to release a new iron. He didn't know that date and didn't say what they were, Anyone heard this rumor ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B81Smith Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I can't believe they did away with the i200's a whole month before releasing the i210. Stupid really I had them in my cart from golf discount and had 4-pa black dot with x100's. I needed one more paycheck and then I came back to the cart and it said sold out. I did searches and found either mgs or golfwrx saying discontinued etc. called ping and they confirmed. They also said it took them by surprise because one day there were taking orders and then they were told to stop.

Imahack Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 It's crazy. Inexplicable really. I'm wanting to buy a set of i200s and Golf Galaxy will not sell them to me. That's right, they have them in stock, and they were told not to sell them. How fishy does that sound? The i210s won't be released until July 31 according to the sales rep at Golf Galaxy. I'm ready to buy right now and Ping is turning away my money and risking a lost sale (I might not have the patience to wait for the i210s). Why? There has to be a reason. "This is highly unusual" said the sales manager at Golf Galaxy. Yeah it is. How is it possible that you have a set of irons IN STOCK and you won't sell them? There's something wrong with the i200s. That's my guess. They have a defect and Ping doesn't want to accept any more exposure than they already have. The face is caving in. The insert is popping out. They're spending $$ repairing too many i200s and they've decided enough is enough. That's my theory. Imahack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't soeak for why they decided to discontinue but they are usually pretty good at inventory control and since they had stopped customer orders several weeks ago it makes sense to pull back the inventory they have in retail shops. Iirc the i210s can be ordered next week and ready to be shipped and received on the release date. Discontinuing models and the stopping of sales on consumer good at the end of a cycle happens.

fixyurdivot Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Will this release drop the price on the G400's do you think?

Since these are i210 and i500 the price drop cake on the i200 and then the discontinuation of i200. I don't recall seeing a price drop on iBlade. The one thing you can count on with ping is 18-24 month release cycles. With the addition of the g iron line several years ago it's now basically every year an iron set comes out.

Imahack Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 So I went across town to a different Golf Galaxy and bought the last set of i200s they had.

Regarding the rest of this mystery, it all seems strange to me. Seems like the i200 only came out a little bit ago. Ping is starting to get ridiculous with all of these new iron releases overlapping so soon after one another. I mean, I bought a set of G irons last year, and if I had know the G700 irons would be coming I sure wouldn't have pulled the trigger on those G's I have a G700 UW and SW and absolutely love them.

PING Apologist #9 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I'm excited to see PING get back into the forged game. But I'm happy with my GMax irons as I still need all the forgiveness a SGI set offers so I really don't need an upgrade...yet. Also the wedge swap-out with the Glide 2.0's is still on honeymoon, but I'm fixin' to grab up one of those new forged wedges and have a little something "special" done to it courtesy of Adam & MGS...
