I kinda like the look. Not sure if they are to replace the Ping i25's or not.

They've been added to the USGA’s Conforming Club List in both right-handed and left-handed models.

They do look nice. Not enough for me to give up my current stix though...

Yes they'll be replacing the i25 irons. Hears what I've heard: Slightly larger sole, thinner topline, less offset. Made from the same material as the Glide wedges. Stock shaft options: CFS Distance, DG, Nippon Pro Modus Tour 105, Project X, DG XP 95. They'll be available July 30th.

Same material as the Glide wedges, available in an iron. At the very least, I'm going to need to attend a demo day.

You usually don't see that combination together; sounds very appealing to me.

I think they had to make the sole a little wider because they added a larger undercut but wanted a "cleaner" look. At address I'm guessing it's a combo between the S55 irons and the i25's.

That has me interested.

Stock shaft options: CFS Distance, DG, Nippon Pro Modus Tour 105, Project X, DG XP 95. They'll be available July 30th.

I guess the Nippon Pro might be the next best since KBS doesn't look to be a stock option. That or Project X. I do not like Dynamic Gold. The other's look to be the lightweight shaft options.

I like the finish... but they look a lot like my APs...

Hey people, long time follower of the site, S&T;, and mvmac's swing instruction videos.

Just thought I'd chime in here on the 2nd pic you have posted. Makes me chuckle a bit.

At work yesterday I took a few minutes and modified the original i-E1 iron pic to clean up the badge, and this morning mygolfspy (and this site) have picked up on it and posted it. The former removed it earlier today. Thought I'd let you know retail release will most likely look like the first pic with the extra lines and blue color on the badge.

These new i series irons have a lot of PING fans (including me) very excited. Here's hoping they'll perform (which they most likely will since they're PINGS!)

Cheers.



I just bought i25's and they were reduced in price, maybe this was in anticipation of these coming out....

Agreed. There's a lot to like about them. I'll have to try them out when they're released.

Lee Westwood put the iE's in play this week.  [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/126623/] [/URL]

I wonder if he was the driving force behind these irons. He was very confident in the i25s he'd play with

    • Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.
    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
