That's not an issue specifically with i500, is it? Don't you always use a gap wedge between your PW and your 56°?

Yes, take a look at my sig - I am concerned that the i500 PW is a lottttt longer (more than the normal gap) than a Ping Glide 2.0 50 in terms of  gap- due to my experience with the yardage differences between the 210 and i500 7i. If they kept the same tech in the PW and did not "deaden" it a bit, you'd theoretically have this huge gap between PW and a blade Gap.

Transition is fine at this point. I go PW-UW-55*-59*....I’m actually liking the fact that I’m seeing pretty good versatility with the UW. So if I’ve had some indecision in getting my 55* there..I know I can choke down a bit and easily make it. I’m not as precise as @mvmac obviously but basically I’ve gotten close to 10yds gained on every club so the transition hasn’t been too awkward. I’ve come to really like the explosiveness of the i500’s. 

Thank you.

Do you play hybrids beyond the 5i? If so, what type? I have the G30 hybrids and they set up with a slightly closed face and I have to set up differently than my Ping i irons or I can send them left.

Hybrid between my 4-iron and 3-wood. Callaway 815 Alpha, 19 degree.

Finally getting a chance to hit the new irons in a couple weeks.

I'm on mobile most of the time so I don't see signatures.

Players distance irons tend to be progressively designed, so the PW will have less of the distance tech in it than the 7i. Ping is pretty quiet about the details but I doubt they'd be any different than other manufacturers.

Thx. I think PXG does that in the PW ... doesn't have the same spring. Asked the clubmaker and he confirmed it. I thought other OEMs might do the same but had not heard - I did see where Ping goes 1/2 inch in shaft length betwen 9i and PW ... I've always had a 1/4 inch separation.
