thats pretty cool. Ping hasnt made a forged iron before , have they? Looks like they have a metal insert on the sole like the ap2's as well,

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.

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

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
