What do you want to see in the next Ping i series iron?

I loved my i200 but the 6 iron was ugly to me and I didn't like the paddle length on the long irons. Cleaner look like iBlade which is the best looking Ping iron ever aside from the Blueprint.

IMO the iBlade feels just as good as every other multi material forging on the market. It doesn't feel as good as a GF forged Mizuno one piece (and other one piece forgings) but AP2 etc every day of the week.

 

I'm the exact opposite. I like the ie1 because of its "midsize" . In my mind it's mid way between the G and S series. I feel the i series has started to lean more towards a S series than the G series. I liked the progressive blade length and offset.

With so many models out now maybe they are going to phase out the iblade and or S series and go from blueprint to i series to G series.

Well, since no one is finding blueprints hard to hit, they may be rethinking strategies. It's a shift; if you consider that "game improvement" has been all about making huge faces, and that those huge faces don't translate to mid-cap or better, the "s" and "i" offerings might be up for debate in how they've been perceived and selected. Most people would tell you that high caps could play I-series clubs within reason, and pros also play I-series clubs. So maybe there is no need for both s & i? Maybe the I series does trim down in the same way the G series also has?

14 Pings. Blueprints are incredibly good. Fetch is the most underrated putter on the market. Don't @ me.

I have thought for a while that Ping might attempt to merge the S and i series into one. If they reduced the offset in the longer end of the i series, it would be pretty close, as the scoring irons are pretty similar in size and offset._

Imho Ping I series are always a great set of irons that combine both forgiveness and somewhat "player" looks. My only gripe would be too much offset in the long irons. So I guess I would like to see a little less offset and I think it's a no brainier to offer a stealth finish in this series of irons. With the wedges being such a hit I'm not sure what's taking them so long to produce a set.

Agreed 100%. Doesn't make sense to me that the i210 has more offset than the i500, being that the 210 is presumed for the better player. We'll see if I can keep from buying the MP20 HMB set long enough to find out what's coming with the new i-series.
