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.

    • Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.
    • Day 9: 2/16/25 Putting through 50 mm gates from 11”. Swing pressure shift drills.
    • Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.
    • Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.
    • A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
