that's how Ping got started, with forged irons back in 1961, they soon went to cast (vestment), can't wait till they hit production on these in the US, soon I hear

These don't really look that much different that the I15's. But good to see a forged iron! Can't wait to hit these one day!

yea thats what the video said but still why not release them all at the same time. I mean its not like they arent going to sell good in the US.

different market and production cost. Releasing them all at once would mean they have to kick up production by quite a bit to say the least which costs them a very large amount of money.

what Ping's motive is, who knows, they could be releasing in Japan first to get test responses before fully releasing in US, or previous Ping clubs might have had a better response in the Japan market prior, thus releasing a new set in Japan first.

Will they sell well? Are there really that many PING guys out there who crave forged irons? Who don't already have a set somewhere?

I'll definitely pick up a set, and the best part is the standard black dot with stiff shafts works perfect for me, So I won't have to wait for a special order

hmm I see Ping is taking titleist's new idea and putting it on their new forged iron. The insert on the sole. Pings should be a good iron. I just dont like the clunky look of it although it is a little cleaner than most Ping irons. Dont get me wrong Ping irons are good, they just have a weird look.

More pics, as soon as these are available you'll find a set in my bag, from what I understand these will be between i15 and s57, very easy club to use, can't wait

These irons look awesome I can only imagine how they will feel when struck. One thing I've learned is that folks who play Pings stay with Pings throughout thier lives. Thats some good brand loyalty.

it's funny you say that, because I just went through a club fitting with Titleist after using Pings my whole life, needless to say I'll be using Pings the rest of my life

Sweet looking sticks!

[motteler621]

yea theres something great about PING's clubs. They always have that fantastic rustic look too. I just got a Ping putter a few weeks ago and its the best putter Ive ever used.
