Ping i5 irons

[kmartz]

I just bought a set of ping i5's, but i think i may need more of a game improvement iron rather than these which are more towards player irons. I haven't been golfing for a few years and now I'm starting to get back into it a lot more. Trying to go to the driving range at least once a week and get a round in at least every 2 weeks.

I have no idea what my handicap is, but i would guess above 30, would i be better off returning these clubs and finding something more along the lines of game improvement irons, or should i stick with the i5's and work my way into them?

thanks

Hi, and welcome to the site. I'm a similar HC to yourself and use Ping G10's. Have you got the corresponding colour dot to match your ideal loft angle as this can make a difference? You can go onto the Ping website and use the iFit to find out. In terms of whether you need GI irons, it really is a case of trying them out first to see if you "get on with them". My G10's help me to get the ball in the air more consistently and my misses are meant to be more forgiving. Ensure you have the right size clubs and experiment with a few different types to see what feels right for you. Good luck.

Try some G5s, they are the GI version of the i5. Both are great irons. Many people thought the Ping 5's were better than the 10's.
