i play the ping isi-k irons... and ive searched this site and many others but cant find much info on these...

are these considered decent irons?? they feel like a blade on misshits and they have a very thin topline compared to some of the cavity backs out nowdays...

who here has played a set of these and how did you like them?? all isi lines included...

RBZ stage 2 driver & 3 wood

Original AP1 4-GW

Back when they first came out a friend got the nickel model (I think, they have the goldish lettering). I remember playing with them a few times and thought they were great. The longer irons (2-7) were real easy to hit consistently. I did think that the short irons lacked a little on feel for me, compared to the forged clubs I had at the time. He offered to sell them to me after a season or two, but I didn't have the money at the time or I would have taken them. He didn't use the 2-iron so I kind of took that one from him and still use it today I won't be getting rid of it anytime soon.

I don't know how they compare with the 'K' version. The style I have used and have now, may have a little softer feel. If I remember right, the design was the same, they just used different metals for different models (maybe 3 different models), but I wouldn't swear to it.

Overall a great set of clubs. IMHO, much better than some of what Ping has come out with in the last several years.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

ISI-K are the oversized ISI-s. They also came in BECU and Nickel. I have a set of the ISI-s (stainless steel). I have a ridiculously large set (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,p1,s1,s2,s3,lw). I used them for several seasons.
They are a cross between the Ping Eye 2 and the Ping Zing 2.
I found them to be very forgiving, yet very consistent. I like 'em!

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
