2019-Official Forum Member Review-PING Blueprint Irons


Recommended Posts

Oh boy, I have been dying to see or hear about this three hole challenge 🤩


Alright Sir... I only did one hole because I wanted to get around some people... but I pared this beast!! Even ended up in the sand.. splashed out!! Couldn’t believe it. I had to register it as a putt to clear the hole... not bad eh?

I chunked the second shot, and I need up on the wrong side of the fairway to get a good shot for the third... third was in bunker.

Thanks buddy. It was a very strange day of golf. Still something messed up in my sequencing, I was off ever so slightly but still managed to hit 71% of the fairways.

I feel like I am breaking my wrists early and away (probably not doing this) so I compensate and duck hook the dang thing.

Putting still proving to be my best attribute right now, it’s crazy.

I also have a reborn love for the AVX ball.

I most likely won’t get another round in until spring. Pretty hectic schedule for the next few months, but if there is a 3 hour block of sunshine in mid December I’ll be out there...

I've played the AVX the last few rounds too - feels better with the colder weather and I can't hit it out of my shadow anyway

I was alternating between the AVX, V1, and the Tour Soft.

My favorite acoustically sounding and feel combo was the Tour Soft by a mile. Then the AVX, followed by the V1. Also noticing it is easier to control the spin on the TS and AVX. I could pick any of the 3 and have a great round with it.

Just that Tour Soft and the Blueprint combo is what dreams are made of... the AVX is nearly there. Feels like a good old fashioned Blade smushing a Balata... glorious.

These Iron are seriously good looking, I currently play the Honma TW737 and love how they feel. However as far as looks go I differently think Ping have one over Honma on this one.

The way my game is right now, I would be ecstatic to take either 71% FIR or great putting.  Both have been in the dumps for me for over a month. Hoping things clear up for you.  This thread has been awesome to follow!  Thanks for taking one for the team and painstakingly reviewing these irons.

Almost finished up with the Stage 2 everyone. The past 6 weeks have been so erratic with work I haven’t had much time to myself. Looking to have it up by the end of the weekend.

Spoiler... they are staying in the bag!


Looking forward to it!

I’ve been working on it. But 12 hour work days as of late, on top of kids ballet and whatnot.

A recent chain of events might have some exciting news for the Shanks Haus. I’ll know more tomorrow afternoon.

I am doing my best not to let you all down.

I managed to play 7 holes last weekend. It was about 40° I think. Even thinned one, and still love them.

After hitting these last Saturday, you are my hero.  I was able to successfully size down to the i210's and i500's, but the BP's are in a league of their own.  To be honest, I like the look of the i500's the best.  If they had shifted my numbers more, I might be tempted.

Don't let them grind you to a pebble. An older colleague once told me that no matter how fast I turn-over the inbox, it will be re-filled just as fast.

Well DLK... I wouldn’t make a very good Santa.

Can’t deliver the goods on Christmas. I’m just not satisfied with how it sounds and the photos I have, I don’t want to rush out a bad Stage 2.

Been the busiest month that I can ever remember.

My apologies everyone.

Soon.

Great reviews so far shankster. I just hit the bp’s today up in Canada at a balmy 27 deg f. Obviously inside a hitting bay. They felt amazing and really looking at getting a set. I found a Used set online but they looked in horrible condition. May have been the previous owner but just wanted to hear your opinion on the hydropearl 2.0 finish. Thanks man.

The Hydropearl 2.0 takes some getting used to. I tested the i200’s, I didn’t care for that finish at all.

The second generation is far better, but still needs some work in the durability department.

I am working on the finishing touches for the stage 2 part of the review. Which I address my thoughts, but since we are on the topic....

I think especially on the BP’s they should have went with chrome or black even. They get dents and dings just looking at them. I don’t like taking them to the range, even if I clean the bucket, they still take on some wear and tear I hadn’t seen before. Even compared to a softer Bridgestone forges wedge.
