Thoughts on Ping i500 irons

Extremely lively.

I am a Ping guy but they were a little too unpredictable for me.

If your not in a hurry, Ping has some great stuff coming out in February.

I like mine. Does not have a “nice” sound even when shot is hit pure but they look great and feel great. Specs are strong and you can get “power specs”.

I bought a set of Ping G410s last month. I have somewhat the same opinion about the sound. Makes sort of a “crack”. I absolutely love everything else about them. First set of nice clubs I’ve ever owned.

Feel is horrible, even when centered, distances inconsistent, and I like Ping, but the set I had was a disappointment.

Same here.

The 500's definitely have some hot spots.

The 710 is much better overall, but a little bulkier .

With the 425 irons coming out in February which is smaller than the 410's and is getting great reviews , I expect a I Blade replacement and an new iron in between.

I am now going on my second year with these, and I dont have a negative thing to say on them. Although you could easily argue all the irons that come out nowadays are practically the same just a different brand and mold for the eyes. People I play with are not a fan of the sound due to the hollow head.

I like the look of those black 710s

They are very long and fairly high hitting. But I hit everything high.
