Today from the Forums: “Results from testing all of Ping’s current iron lineup”
Today from the Forums shines the light on Ping irons after WRXer GolfMonster09 tested all of the brand’s current irons and shared his results with our members. Per GolfMonster09, the experiment went as follows:
“All 7 irons at standard lofts, KBS Tour S, same length, same Bridgestone Tour B XS balls, same SkyTrak setting tested indoors on a premium mat. Hit 5 balls with each iron, switched to the next head, rotated through 3 cycles (15 shots with each setup).”
And here were the very insightful results…
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- BCULAW: “Thanks for doing this. Very cool to see the comparison. Ping seems to have really hit a home run with the i210. They really have something for everyone, though.”
- CyFan: “Nice comparison. Surprised at the variances, maybe it is more than just marketing.”
- ldh692002: “IBlade all day!!! Great numbers all around. If you got the money go blueprint, but I’d say numbers alone iBlade is your go-to.”
- mahbles: “This is such a cool post. The way I’m interpreting the numbers, and please correct me if I’m wrong, is that for golfers of various ages and abilities, there’s a club for everyone within the Ping spectrum. I love the feel of the G410; I love the looks of the i500, my ego may not let me game the G710 and I would be embarrassing myself with the i210, iblade or blueprint. From a fitting perspective, the G410 is what I should be using; I was told I could get away with the i500, but it’s not as forgiving as the G410. Thanks for putting this together, very insightful!”

Seems there’s an inverse correlation between backspin and carry distance. Then there’s the availability of “side spin” as you move from more perimeter weighting to less.
In other words, nothing surprising. THat, of course, is a little surprising…in a good way.

I game the S55 5-9 an I210 4 iron and an I500 driving iron that kicks the hybrid out of bag when it’s windy or I need it. What’s a better new option to switch out the S55s? My gut is telling me iblade my eye says blueprint. Is blueprint significantly harder to hit than the iblade? Handicap is scratch to a 2. Swing speed with driver is 116/117iish and hit 7 iron 180.Not a great ball striker not a bad one. Am I doing more harm than good going blueprint?

You could go combo set of Blueprints at the bottom and then I Blades at the top.

Nice that ping has something for everyone. Not 4 players irons or 4 shovels. I like the progression from blueprint to 710.
