Hey all,

My Ping i3 club heads, well some of them, are wearing out pretty bad. My PW, 8-iron, 9-iron the metal on them are wearing into the grooves, loosing spin, etc.

However, I can't find any on the web.. anybody have any links to buy some? I'm just looking for the heads, I have great shafts.

I think you're probably going to have to settle for buying a set and then re-shafting them.  Might be too tough to find just heads. Always a good place to look

Thanks.. maybe I'll get a new set. I've seen some heads on EBay though. Thanks for the advice!

Yeah I'm sure you can occasionally find some heads by themselves, just saying I think it's going to be rare, the irons are 13 years old.  Who knows, maybe you get the set, hit them and like the shafts that are already in there.  Also can't hurt to have some back up shafts if you do re-shaft the clubs.

Yeah. You should look for some that are slightly newer. Both the i5 and i10 models were pretty similar to the i3s.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

Haha, my dad actually got them for free when he was working or something like that... they're old, but work great. I'll look into the i5 and i10. I was actually considering the new Nike irons, the VR Blades is my main choice.

I would caution you against the blades and say look at the Nike combo set.

Yeah agree, not the kind of club for a 14 handicap and obviously not similar to the i3's.  Would also recommend the VR_S forged irons, here's our review

If the cost doesn't bother you, you can go to your local Ping dealer and get new replacement i3 irons made directly from Ping. I splurged on a U wedge for my i3 O-size set this past summer. Ping made a brand new one for me with the same serial number of my set. Just bring a club with you or record the serial number and bring it with you. It may not be the best cost option out there, but if you really like the clubs, it may be an option for you.

You did that this past summer?  I thought they got rid of that program

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Last year I made an excel that can easily measure with my own SG data the average score for each club of the tee. Even the difference in score if you aim more left or right with the same club. I like it because it can be tweaked to account for different kind of rough, trees, hazards, greens etc.     As an example, On Par 5's that you have fescue on both sides were you can count them as a water hazard (penalty or punch out sideways), unless 3 wood or hybrid lands in a wider area between the fescue you should always hit driver. With a shorter club you are going to hit a couple less balls in the fescue than driver but you are not going to offset the fact that 100% of the shots are going to be played 30 or more yards longer. Here is a 560 par 5. Driver distance 280 yards total, 3 wood 250, hybrid 220. Distance between fescue is 30 yards (pretty tight). Dispersion for Driver is 62 yards. 56 for 3 wood and 49 for hybrid. Aiming of course at the middle of the fairway (20 yards wide) with driver you are going to hit 34% of balls on the fescue (17% left/17% right). 48% to the fairway and the rest to the rough.  The average score is going to be around 5.14. Looking at the result with 3 wood and hybrid you are going to hit less balls in the fescue but because of having longer 2nd shots you are going to score slightly worst. 5.17 and 5.25 respectively.    Things changes when the fescue is taller and you are probably going to loose the ball so changing the penalty of hitting there playing a 3 wood or hybrid gives a better score in the hole.  Off course 30 yards between penalty hazards is way to small. You normally have 60 or more, in that cases the score is going to be more close to 5 and been the Driver the weapon of choice.  The point is to see that no matter how tight the hole is, depending on the hole sometimes Driver is the play and sometimes 6 irons is the play. Is easy to see that on easy holes, but holes like this:  you need to crunch the numbers to find the best strategy.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Very much so. I think the intimidation factor that a lot of people feel playing against someone who's actually very good is significant. I know that Winged Foot pride themselves on the strength of the club. I think they have something like 40-50 players who are plus something. Club championships there are pretty competitive. Can't imagine Oakmont isn't similar. The more I think about this, the more likely it seems that this club is legit. Winning also breeds confidence and I'm sure the other clubs when they play this one are expecting to lose - that can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

      Ah ok I misunderstood. But you did bring to light an oversight on my part.
