From Ted Purdy on Twitter. Cavity design is similar to the S55 irons (but deeper) mixed with a little TaylorMade Rac. From what I've heard the head shape is basically the same as the i E1 irons but with the same finish as the Glide wedges and iBlade irons. The 6-iron (maybe the long irons as well) don't seem to have the tungsten weight on the toe that many of the previous models did.

Looks cool, nice "clean tech" look and the style seems to match up well with their wedges, iBlades and even Vault putters.

Non-PING, no up charge shafts are going to be DG, KBS Tour, Pro Modus Tour 105, Project X, and XP 95.

I'm not sure that I like the look of the backs more than the previous i irons but that isn't really so important for me.  Will be interested to try them out as I am thinking about changing my 3-4-5 s55 irons to i.  Can't imagine they are going to be that much better than the previous generation though.

What is going on with their numbering system?  Is there some ping history thing where i200 makes sense?  They seem to be just jumping around all over the place with their club names at the moment.

You nailed it with that description!  Nice looking clubs.

That is odd for Ping.  They were pretty good with the name/number scheme.  Nothing like trying to follow the Mizuno lineup!  :~(

I prefer the satin finish and they also go well with the S55 irons or iBlades if someone wanted to do a split set.

Yes I'd figure the playability will be pretty darn similar to the i E1 irons. Only so many things you can do with an iron, especially a forgiving "players" iron.

TaylorMade once told me golfers replace their irons every 5-7 years so that's more of who they're marketing to than the guy who is playing the i E1 irons.

Yeah it's kinda funny. I guess i200 might be a nod to the "next generation" of the Eye 2?

I'm glad the days of Ping making ugly (awkward looking at least) seem to be over. 

I think that ended several years ago.  Probably when they went away from that high toe that the Zings and probably a few other models may have had.

I know. I've been gaming G30s for a few years now. Happy that they are not showing signs of reverting I should have said.

Looks pretty darn similar in shape/design to the iE1 irons.

They look really nice. I agree with many opinions that they have a bit of the TM RAC look about them. The reviews I've seen so far are pretty good on these.  Looks like Ping has another winner. 

In my Sun Mountain 14 Way Stand Bag:

Driver - Ping G30 10.5* : Fairway - Ping G30 18* : Hybrids - Titleist 915H 21* & 915 H 24* : Irons - Mizuno JPX 850 Forged 5 - GW : Wedges, Vokey 54.14, Vokey 58.12 : Putter - Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 or Ping Craz-E-R  : Ball - Bridgestone B330RX, Cart - Cliqgear 3.5

Got to hit these recently at one of the local golf shops.  Sadly they don't have an LM (if you can believe that) so I didn't get any stats.  That said, I love the looks of this iron all around.  Appeared to have less offset than traditional Ping irons, which I liked.  In terms of feel, they were right on with the i20 and i25 irons from a few years back.  I really like that Ping has aligned the look of the i200, iBlades and Glide wedges so you could very easily build a mixed i200/iBlade set and it'd look really nice in the bag.

Driver: Cobra FlyZ | 9.5 Degrees Draw | Fujikura Pro 63 Tour Spec

Irons: Srixon Z545 (4-Iron) | Srixon Z 765 (5-PW)
Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM6 | 50 F Grind | 54 M Grind | 58 K Grind
Putter: Odyssey O-Works 1W WBW

i200 and iE1 have the same amount but yes the past 5-10 years they'e been going with less offset in their irons.

I wanted to like the iE1 but the the cavity badging was a little odd.  Very minor complaint, as I thought it felt solid when I got to demo them.

I have the I e-1 irons but will be selling them to get the I200 with the same specs.  Just love the face being all satin vs. the 2 tone look of mind.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
