rore73 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I had the 700’s at one time and thought the I59 looked real similar. I’m sure a lot can be blamed on the epidemic, but something is going on at Ping - Sure hope they get back to their previous high standard before those of us long loyal to Ping switch to another brand. Quote Started playing late in life, but as I got older I found that golf is a much better activity than a lot of things old folks get into, plus I meet some of the nicest most interesting people!

Micah T Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 @fixyurdivot just got back from my iron fitting: the I59 are legit! They are plenty forgiving for such a compact blade like shape. Feel? Amazing. Great launch and spin numbers as well. The only club in the running against it is the Titleist T-100. And since the project x ls 6.0 is a no up charge shaft in the ping, but not in the T100, for me the price difference 4-W would be $140. If comparing stock offerings the difference is $60 a club… but for what I’d be getting, (I210 4i, I59 5-W) vs T100(t100s 4i, 5-W t100) it’s $1629 for the Ping and $1490 for the Titleist. Granted, what closes the price gap is shaft up-charge, but $140 isn’t the end of the world for a set of irons you love.

Didn’t feel like digging thru the fitting cart shafts so just stuck the trusty s300 in it.

Thin2win Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I went to our local golf store yesterday, I need some tees to use on a hitting mat. Since I was there, I stopped by the Ping irons, and holy cheeseburger these irons look so nice. I'm not sure what else to say, the top line and offset to good things I didn't get to hit them, the sim bays were both full. Which is probably a good thing. fixyurdivot and JohnSmalls 2 Quote WITB: Driver: SIM2 Max 12° - Accra TZ6 M4 FW Wood: Gen5 0311 7w Fujikura Motore X F3 Irons: ZX7 PW-7i, ZX5 6i-5i Wedges: Zipcore 50°, 58° Putter: MySpider X Cart: Onewheel XR+ Ball: Z-Star Diamond/ Z-Star XV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah T Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Even Par 72 for my 1st round with the i59’s. You know that feeling you get once or twice a round when you pure one? That feeling/sound with these babies is so superior to my old AP3 it’s not funny. Shot of the day was this 6 iron to about 13 feet.

hartrick11 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Finally got to hit a 7i with the stock LS 6.0 at the range this weekend. The grass was closed so didn't get a great feel for turf interaction, but I really liked everything about it otherwise. Nice high flight, really good forgiveness low on the face which is my typical miss. Feel was really good considering the beat up range balls; not ZX7 soft but still very solid, similar to but better than my brief test with the T100, though I had a PX 6.5 in the T100 which is a bit harsher for me than the LS, so not necessarily a fair comparison. Not sure if I can stomach the pricing when there are so many strong offerings at lower price points, but man are they good looking!

And at $200 makes it slightly more annoying to purchase, when two new Mizuno T22s would set you back $300 or so. Their Glide 3.0 wedges had way more bounce options with 12° and 14°, but are no longer available in custom orders.
