Is it me or is the timing of these PING releases a bit strange?

What's strange? They are on 18-24 month release cycle and the i200s were at the end of that cycle.

Would've expect a Mizuno release at The Open. PING seemed more suited for a PGA release. Just the timing is all, I get that they were at the end of their cycle. But do they typically put new clubs out right now?

$190.50 at 2nd swing.

 

That's with the $-Taper shaft upgrade.

 

$162.50 with a stock shaft.

 

Not too bad really considering the other DI's.

Not bad at all. I'm def going with a graphite shaft just not sure which one yet

From what I've read and watched, these irons say forged on them, but they don't feel/sound like a forged iron and even the iblade and i210 sound and feel better

Has to be the giant hollow air pocket. I'd imagine a couple drops of Giloo (hotmelt) could tune them right up.

 

Wonder how they compare to the UDI, Apex, and FliHi on the acoustic side of the house?

While sound and feel is subjective, I have hit them all and will give you my opinion.

The UDI has a "softer feel" and a more muted sound.

The Apex is a "mid feel" but maybe a little clicky(to me, others may feel differently)

The FLI-HI has a "firmer feel" but gives the ball a good "twack".

 

Edit: Now that I wrote this, I think I misinterpreted your post but will leave it up anyway.

All good. Sound is feel. You nailed it. Thanks!

Usually between now and the fall. I'm used to them usually in sept for pre orders...oct is usually when most companies do their releases but we've seen some wait til pga show.

 

Mizuno has the mp18 and st180 drivers so either October or next year release for them

Kinda what I have read and actually experiemced myself.

 

I guess with the I500 being hollow body, and a pretty strong steel in the face, it loses the forged feeling. Where as the i200 have the increased amount of elasater behind the face to soften rhe feel.

 

The 500 definitely felt a bit more harsh in my brows demo. If course you have to consider I was making some inconsistent contact with them as well.
