Before pulling the trigger on these set of Ping clubs, I would like to know what other people on the forum are thinking of these irons... I've hit them and love them but just wondering if I should venture towards the s56 instead!? Any suggestions gladly received!

Actually just finishing up a review on these.  If you're a fan of the i15's, these are an excellent upgrade, similar to the Anser irons.  They are going to go higher and farther than the S56's.  Biggest difference in the S56's is the way the club looks behind the ball.

The sole weighting on those clubs looks like it would send it pretty high.

Yes for the long irons but the set is progressive. Geometry of the cavity changes from long to mid to short irons to allow greater trajectory options.  Haven't hit any balloon shots :)

For future reference, this forum is for discussing golf courses and architecture.  You might get more responses if you post this in the appropriate forum.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I was wondering if these would be any good for someone with my handicap (20) ? I have the Mizuno JPX 800's but I really like the look of these. When I got fitted the pro told me to stay away from these because they weren't that forgiving. I was just wondering what your opinions were on whether I should sell my current set and get these? I have always loved the feel of Ping clubs I just don't like the fact that the G20's have such a wide sole that is the only reason why I didn't purchase those. Any feedback is welcome.

G20's are going to offer max forgiveness on off center hits.  Go ahead and hit the i20's and see what you think, they look similar to you Mizuno's but more compact and less offset.

Thanks for the help maybe I will just stick with the mizzys. The 800's offer great forgiveness and coming from a cheap set of Adams (insight xtd II's), I think even the i20's will give me more forgiveness than those. Idk I will just go try em out when I go to this ball fitting tomorrow and see if I like em.

    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
    • Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.
    • Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
