Honestly, doing so seems counter to the whole insert face/hollow cavity which purportedly provides a trampoline effect. It would seem almost any filler material would counteract the effect and is more for sound than anything else... but I could be wrong. Yeah, I don't think PING uses any filler in any of their irons like some of the others. 1 Quote TSi1 Aldila Ascent 40G shaft TSi2 18 FW with GD AD IZ 6 Shaft TSi1 20 and 23 degree hybrids Aldila Ascent Shafts R T300 5-P Tensei R flex shaft 1/4 long SM8 48F/54/58 D Grinds Tyne 4 ProV1X Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejgaudette 4,054 Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 As someone with the unfilled I500s the goo can indeed help on feel, mainly on off center hits. Must have been hitting the ball well at my fitting because I don't notice this until later. 1 Quote Epic Max LS 9° Xcaliber Avalon 5 TS (2021 Official Review) Epic Speed 15° Smoke iM10 60g 6.0 | Epic Speed 18° Evenflow Riptide 70 g 6.0 816 H1 21° Diamana S+ Blue 70 Stiff | JPX 919 HM Pro 5 - PW Pro Tour Spec 115i Stiff Equalizer 52° / 56° KBS Tour V 110 Stiff | SOFT 11S Super Stroke Mid-Slim 2.0 Hoofer Bag | - Pro V1x | Right Handed | Tracked by V3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMex 528 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 **********WARNING !!!!! WARNING ********** I own the PING G-700's, the sound is a bit annoying if you don't hit the sweet spot. So I decided to experiment with urethane foam insulation spray. I removed the screw (with my driver tool) I stuck the nozzle in (fit perfect!) Squeezed the nozzle for about a 1 to 1-1/2 seconds Removed the nozzle only to see/feel the foam come back at me and all over my tool chest, golf bag, shoes and shirt, good thing I was wearing my glasses. I did try about a 1 foot long string of yarn and it seemed to muffle the sound a bit without any swing feel change. 3 Quote DRIVER: Cobra F-8 set at 10.5, Aldila NV 2KXV Blue 60 (R) 44 1/2 " 3 & 5 WOOD: Callaway XR-16, Fujikura Speeder Evolution 565 Red (R) IRONS 5-SW: PING G-700, 2 upright, std loft Alta CB (R) + 1/2" HYBRID 3-4: PING G-410, 1 upright, Alta CB 70 Red (R) + 1/2" PUTTER: Byron Experimental GSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFEagle 6 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Recently won a set of irons in our TNL raffle. Pro has already called Ping and told me early first quarter, for what that's worth. Really looking forward to gaming these as they seem like an upgrade on my G400s, which are the best irons I've ever played.
