Just checking to see if anyone still plays these irons and if so have you compared them to say G10's?

I play the G10's ATM, but have always LOVED the look of the old Ping ISI "Coppers". I went into the Golf shop today and a guy had traded in a FULL set of them 1-9,PW, SW. They feel great in my hands and I'm so close to trading in my G10s for them

But I just wanted to check and see if anyone has any feedback on these irons. Like Feel, Forgiveness, distance and if you have compared them to G10's.

I have always heard that the "Copper" ones feel SOOOOO good but sadly I have not had the chance to hit them.

I know some will say the "NEWER" G10s are cool and hip but for me I LOVE the way the older Pings feel/look.

Thanks to everyone in advance

till this year I played the ISI-K's which were the same just diff of color. I still have them and game them until I get a feel for my Burners...personally...you can't go wrong. Amazing clubs...even today.

I guess the only thing you may find is a loss of distance with them but if they give you confidence then that will counteract that. I am in the process of playing my last few rounds with my Taylor Made Burner Tour irons from 1999, they got me from 12 to 3, then back up a bit!

i played the isi-k versions for many many years (they're made from a different metal and are slightly larger than the becu versions)

they're not near as forgiving as your g-10's and they hurt like heck on miss-hits, but they're very good clubs overall... i honestly wouldnt recommend playing them over your g10's, but if you like em that much then go for it.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
