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.

    • Day 312 - Better finishing position, fuller backswing, PRGR to see how swing speed was. 
    • Going to a Friendsgiving tomorrow and I am bringing a no-bake cheesecake. I make the crust too big, but I think it turned out good. The filling is really good. 
    • Sure, but how was your alignment? 🙂 Day 53 - 2024-11-22 Mirror work after getting back home. Wife is a superstar for her career/job/whatever.
    • I would say your back nine is the second nine you play that day. It's part of what makes getting some of those holes tougher. Or, if 18 holes are played pretty often, out of A, B, and C, and you often play A and C, A is the front and C is the back, regardless of the order you play them in. That way not birdieing C #7 isn't overcome by birdieing the easier A #7 on a day you played it C-A instead of A-C. But, at the end of the day, nobody really cares except yourself.
    • Day 128: played 9. Nice little even 9, with 2 birdies and 2 bogeys.
