2019 Official Forum Member Review-Ping G410 irons

[Rickp]

Unfortunately I can’t get into a weather conversation, lows 50-60 next week, high 70-80. I have no excuse.
Irons were kind today hope to get some range/chipping tomorrow.

It will be interesting to see how the ball jumps off the face with your green side chips?

[GregB135]

That's true...Christmas will be 72.  

 

Rick and I will have to play Christmas week to make up for your weather

If it’s after Christmas how about a round at my club?

See what we can do.
I’ve got a couple Doc appointments coming up for a possible knee replacement. No schedule on that yet. Looks like a a body part replacement every year.

Unfortunately I've only been able to play 1 round with these but I did shoot a rare "70's" round so that's good.

That's a good start.

[ballplayer002003]

Played a round today.  Temp was 44 degrees with a feels like 38.  I hit 22% greens in regulation.  Not good!!!!  I came up short on most greens.  That can be attributed to me not having the distances dialed in yet.  I didn't feel as if I was swinging particularly well today.  Tomorrow is supposed to be 56 so I'll give it another shot then. 

[ballplayer002003]

This was a 4 iron off the tee today with the G410's.  Carried 215 yards.  I absolutely love the 4 iron.  Solid feel and great ball flight.

Temps today was 59

[ballplayer002003]

This was a par 3, 156 yards with a right to left wind slightly into our face.  I hit a 8 iron and just hit a towering shot that the wind just threw to the left.  Missed the green by almost 15 yards. 

9 iron from 154 with a large tree in the way.  Had to get the ball up in the air pretty quick to get over the tree (even though it looks far away it was about 20yards in front of me)..not a problem with these clubs.  Ball hit the green and spun back about 20 feet. 

Another Par 3, 178 I hit a 6 iron here.  Again, ball flight straight up.  Not my best shot here as I toed it a bit.  The ball still carried approx 170-175 yards but into the bunker on the left.

Love those videos.  That app really shows the ball flight well.  I know you purposely hit that first one with a big draw just to show how workable these are and how well the shot tracer works

I wish I was that good!  haha.  I mean on the fitting day, I purposely hit those few shanks just to see forgiveness.  haha yeah, that's right...I did it on purpose.

Cool day but not too cold to play golf... more than likely my final round unless something unusual happens.

110 ... all carry over water with a PW.... Par gets me 80, birdie gets me 79.... stuck it to 3 feet and drained the birdie.

Absolutely love these irons.  Hit so many great shots with them already...

That's fantastic news!  Congrats on the 79!!

Had SWMBO do a video @ cage. I’ve got work to do, I’m moving around like a Mookie Betts bobble head doll.

Ok I got to see that video !     Are you getting a good feel for the G410 irons?

Got another update on the shipment (Thanks Rob!)

There was one slight delay on shipping my test set due to Ping needing to back order the shafts I was fit into. The latest update from Rob was one of the shafts arrived with a blemish. Apparently enough of one that Ping did not want to use the blemished shaft and needed to wait for a reordered shaft to arrive before they could complete the set. Kudos to Ping quality control and customer service that they were not willing to send out an imperfect product, even on a comp deal.

As Rob put it, the 'blue and white' truck should be arriving some time early this week. (one actually did a drive-by tease while I was waiting in the driveway for a pickup to the golf course yesterday)

As another note, the Mizunos are apparently angry for being left in the garage for over a year whilst I experimented with the Hogans, and are now fighting for their lives with some enthusiasm. 9 GIRs, 3 birdies, and 10 par or betters in my round yesterday en-route to a season best 81 spoiled only by the 2 penalty quad bogey on the 10th hole.

The down side to this timeline is SWMBO is out of town for work and a family need this week so I'm single dadding it this week with kiddo #2. He may be forced to endure some range time with dad.

You guys are all doing a great job with these reviews! Sounds like you're all getting along nicely with them, and I can't wait to see how they perform after the "getting to know you" phase. Personally, new clubs tend to perform even better after getting some time to adjust.

How are they performing out of the rough? Are they losing a decent amount of distance, or are they relatively close to normal?
@ballplayer002003 great videos! Stroker, that was a great wedge into 3 feet!@Rickp :

@GregB135 hopefully yours will show up soon and I can't wait to see how they work for you.

Sigh. Shorts and a polo, and here I'm looking out at 5-8 inches of snow with wind chills in the single digits. 

Looking like a good load into your rear leg, @Rickp!

Love reading the updates, everyone. Bet these will be winners across the board.

Liking them a lot especially from 150 yards in.

I couldn't answer that, I don't hit balls into the rough!  haha.  They are actually performing pretty close to normal.  Now this time of year in my area, the rough is some places are really thick while others are filled with craters where the ball is sitting down.  All in all, they are a pretty solid performer across the board.  

[StrokerAce]

I've definitely been in the rough and haven't had any issues.

The sole design is such that it allows you to get down and through the ball in thicker grass and the face is pretty hot from heel to toe so if you don't catch it in the middle you're still going to get a good result and not lose much distance.

[Rickp]

The wedges are pretty decent in Bermuda not an easy task for any wedge

Quick question, where did the ball land as opposed to how much rollout did you get?

[Rickp]

Quick question, where did the ball land as opposed to how much rollout did you get?

Unfortunately there’s a long answer but I’ll try to keep it simple. On this hole I play the drive on purpose in the left rough to take the water in front and all along the right side of green out of play. Doing this I’m hitting the iron out of light/medium Bermuda rough and trying to hit left front of green and roll ball somewhere near pin, Worked today. 2 of the foursome ended up in the water from the right side of the fareway.
