Just got fitted for these last weekend. Very crisp soft feel at impact, you’d swear it’s a blade. Flights lower than most hollow body wannabe blades, very consistent flight. Love the look down at the ball, compact yes, but it’s the hydropearl finish, extra grooves, and white bottom groove that does it for me.

C-taper 130x. Still waiting on the quote and delivery timeline. Dude said he was going to have it to me this morning. When I asked he said he thinks 4-6 weeks.

did you get a real fitting into these shafts rather than the 115's?

Yes went to a different fitter this past weekend and that’s the shaft we found that can bring my spin down. Was hitting off grass with pro-v1’s so I’m confident it’s the right combo.

Was between this shaft and Project X LS 7.0. Just liked the feel of the C-taper profile better, and the spin and trajectory didn’t lie.

It’s was a cool place, but unless you live up here I can’t help you on fitters. Everyone on this board seems to mention Buddha or Bebu or whatever, but from what I can tell that’s indoors.

I hear it’s a firmer feeling but softer than other hollow body irons. Distance snd lofts are not juiced so don’t expect massive jump in ball speed or distance. They’re also insanely expensive. TXG even commented that the price point is a bit much.

Retail is $250 a club with stock shaft. If you’re ordering a la carte then you’re looking at much more.

I can see it being firmer feeling if you play one of the firmer tour balls. Did not get that feeling with a proV1 though.

$ 1750.00

I have hit them, much prefer the I210's, seems like the Ping staff does as well.

Talked to the Ping Rep yesterday and he said that the I120 replacement will be in March and the 500 replacement will be a really special iron.

I got my special order Callaway Apex 21's in 7 business days three weeks ago.

Pings factories are now back open in Vietnam, not they are dealing with the shipping issues.

I am keeping my i210s too. If I don’t like the i59s I will sell them quite easily.
