i530 and i230 are both very balanced irons. But Blueprint S is a dream club for most mere mortals lol.

The i230s are incredible. I love mine. Very soft (I think they sound softer than the Titleist T series tbh), consistent, durable, and a nice high flight in the mid to long irons. They are a non-combo combo set with their progressive design. They are very stable if you miss slightly towards the toe. The BP-S are awesome too, can combo with i230 easily, but they are ~CAD 2600 for a set which is really pricey.

i230s are interesting. I play i210s and when I tested the i230s I found that they span a little less than my i210s. No idea why, same loft, probably just me but I was not convinced they were as good as my i210s. Those BP-S irons really look pretty, just not convinced I am good enough for them. Yet when you look at the figures in the video, the i230s were exceptionally good performers with high spin. Overall I think Ping have one too many irons in their range, G730 seems totally unnecessary

@@justinstephenson9360 Yes, I have a set of i210s as a backup too. They're very good. To me, the i230s are a touch softer, but close. The BP-S are enticing for sure, but I think you have to be on your game for the 4, 5, 6 irons. 7 on down aren't too different after my testing and fitting.

G430 irons are the most underated irons imo. I've seen a 6 hdcp and 22 hdcp game them and improve by an avg of 2 to 6 strokes per round!

Just got the i530's in retro spec. I hit the stock 7 iron with 29* of loft and I was hitting it around 215 yards. I opted for the retro spec because they are 2* weaker. Ended up in standard length, orange dot (2 flat), and the shaft is S300 120g. My club head speed said I should be in an X100 but I really liked the release of the S300. Gave me a tighter dispersion as well. I could hit the i230 and the Blueprints but I really liked the feel of the i530 and I like the additional forgiveness of the i530.

I've just taken delivery of G 730 irons to replace my G irons (no number). The offset is exactly the same and so no dramas there. The 5i goes as far as my G4hybrid so there's a saving in the bag. At the bottom end I go W, U, 50 and my Glide 3 54/14 wedge. At the top end I'm thinking of ditching the G 3w and 3h for a 430 5w. After all, I can't get home in two shots on par 5s and the 5w is so much easier to hit.
@todaysgolfer6 күн бұрын
Loving the thinking with 5 Wood Ken, it's amazing how a fraction more loft is so much more playable with modern low spin golf balls. Enjoy the G730's.

Thanks for this video. Comprehensive. I play Eye-2 irons. My takeaway from new irons: we get more holding power with today's irons and balls. Mishits with new clubs have a higher likelihood of going straighter and farther than with old irons. Correct?

I really like your videos, but the editing needs some work. You have such good data on the screen behind the guys. You show it for a few seconds then widen out to show the guys talking to each other. Don't really need to see the guys talking over a lot of data. I want to read it myself. Yes, I could pause it, but I don't think I would have to if the data was on the screen longer.

What makes you think you'll get a "jumper" with the i530? Was there evidence of that in your testing or just something that has been reported on in the past of similar type irons?
@todaysgolfer4 ай бұрын
We've never really seen a 'jumper' while testing indoors Blake. Neil has been experimenting with a set of hollow body irons on the golf course over the last 3 months and feels a couple of shots have just flown forever. But that could be down to moisture as it has been incredibly wet here.
@lkae44 ай бұрын
That's just the nature of hollow irons. They are designed to hot out the middle. So elsewhere could be significantly shorter. But you would think the same thing happens with driving irons and hybrids.
@atxrich4 ай бұрын
I think the ‘jumper’ has to do with the ‘trampoline’ effect due to the construction of the club face in combo with the low spin nature of these clubs. I think it’s a trade off- for most club golfer’s they are willing to accept it to gain the extra distance. The earlier P790 was criticized for this, but TM would claim this has been mitigated over the generations. I will say many of the sets in that category are progressive, so there is a transition in construction with the scoring irons where they have less tech and better consistency. I game the Mizuno Pro 245 and I don’t feel like I get that many jumpers (if any) in that set. You can definitely notice a difference in sound/feel when you play the mid/longer irons due to the tungsten and design of those clubs, but the scoring clubs feel very solid. Oh, and Luke Donald put the 245’s in the bag.

There's nothing saying you can't combo them in that way Evan. It would be unconventional, especially so with just a single Blueprint T iron in the bag, but as somebody recently told us - you do you!
