New I500/I510?

[sambelo]

I don’t have pictures to back it up, but I’ve owned two sets of i210’s. The first was purchased right when they were released and showed immediate wear. The second was purchased at the beginning of this summer and hardly shows any wear after a full season. I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Didn’t realize Ping possibly made a change to the finish but that makes sense.

I have a set of Glide 2.0 Stealth in backup and have had them for 2 full seasons and they look miles better than a set of New Level irons I've got and much, much better than most other dark finish irons I had seen in the past. Ping's finishes are usually on point.

If these perform anything like the CB-1008’s....I’ll take 3 sets and a copy of my divorce papers. Merry Christmas Me. Happy new year her"

 

Those Miura show wear

 

I think you're just throwing a fit

I wonder if the replacements of the G700, I500 and I210 will come out the same time and if a mix n match set would work.

It won't be at the same time, and you'd have some interesting combinations with that threesome !

I'll have to post pics of my 410's. Almost a full season and they still look great. Same finish.

possibly. but whatever they did with the G700 is terrible. I am not sure it is the same finish. If so, maybe they improved it by then.

I also got a set of i210s this past summer. They look fantastic and have worn much better than my i500s. I have Glide 3.0s and they also wear nicely and much better than 2.0s.

[nilopol]

I must be in the minority as don’t mind the feel/sound of the i500. Playing PX lZ 6.0. Just contemplating wedges in this off season.

[ashortgame]

I just hope that whenever they bring the replacements for the i210's that they build a little more forgiveness into the 4 and 5 irons.

i wanted so much for the i210's to be great. Spent a day moving my Aerotech shafts over to my new set of 210's from my E1's and then 2 days later spent a day moving them back and selling the 210's.

Loved the 7,8.9 and was 50/50 with the 6 iron, but the 4 and 5 iron...yuk...I've got a set of Hogan Apex PC's (circa 1988 i think) that are more forgiving than the 210's.

Love the 4 and 5 iron in my E1's and the 4 and 5 in the i20's and i15's were better than the 210's.

[belh22]

any updates or word on i510?

[jongalt55]

Bump this. If Ping is updating the G700, I'm hoping the i500 isn't far behind. Anyone heard anything?

[bladehunter]

In their defense they do however wear quickly into a nice even patina and then basically stop showing wear .

 

So they look look like crap quick then never age. Lol.

[WarEagleGolf]

I'm still digging mine. I doubt I would jump on a new version. Now the ping 420 LST driver on the other hand....c'mon ping. You know you want to.

 

 

[Rippin6Gears]

yeah the finish on the i500 were garbage even being in my bagboy with little chatter. I had a early set with a cracked face, replaced by Ping with a updated i500 that they “fixed” the welding of the faces. Finish was just as bad, but didn’t crack before I sold them after only 3 rounds.

[lc1342]

I ordered mine presale and don’t have too much of a problem with mine. They don’t look brand new but don’t look terrible. I’ve been pretty happy with them.

 

 

[RobDMB]

Still no timetable on potential i510?

[JNG]

At least they have the trademarks registred: ping[dot]com/en-us/legal/trademarks

I510™ & iBlade 2.0™

/J

[wfwp]

I hope the i510 will have the face technology of the G710 but the back shaped like the Blueprint and G410 Crossover so the i510 long irons can blend with the Blueprint.

[Rippin6Gears]

I just hope the i510s look similar to the i500s... clean and simple.

[Joe Jordan]

Has anyone heard about when or if the new I500’s are coming out. Are they coming out in a black finish? About to get fitted and just want to make sure I’m not pulling the trigger to early.

[RobDMB]

Wish these would have been released before the season.

[bladehunter]

Yep. Always puzzles me why they wait til summer. Everything based around the snow belt.

[belh22]

any word?

[lc1342]

I’d be curious to know too. I still have my set. I like them a lot. On bad swing days, they can be brutal. I’d be curious to see if the i510’s will be more forgiving?

I have a set of 0211’s coming just because I’ve heard so many good things. But I always come back to Ping.

[Joe Jordan]

So would you not recommend the I500’s? I’m going in for my fitting on Wednesday and I’m looking at P790, I500, Cobra King Forged Tec 2020 and Mizuno MP-20 HMB

[lc1342]

I played one round yesterday with the 0211’s and they weren’t my favorite. I like the i500’s better. Played well with them today. Sticking with them. I recommend them. They cut through the turf well and still pretty long. Just on a bad day, they can hurt me. That’s more of the swing, not the club.

 

I just kept hearing great things about the 0211’s. I wouldn’t say they are much more forgiving than the i500’s.

[chip75]

I'm sure they're on their way, but that's pretty standard fare for OEMs.

[dhen9]

Ok Ping, I now have my G710 and I'm gonna need you to send me a picture or 9 of the new i510 in Stealth Hydropearl. I promise I'll delete them as soon as I look at them. TIA.

[rmgatl]

The G710 demo I'm hitting is fantastic, but want to see an i510 before pulling the trigger. Does anyone have strong intel that there will be a summer 2020 release for the i510 (whatever it is)?

I like the i500 except for the sound., it's plenty forgiving for my current game (probably more forgiving than my i210s) - but I'm aging and won't mind playing something easier going forward.

I'm told the i210 is definitely not being updated this year based on the Ping concept of not releasing a new version until they have something better.

[WristySwing]

I have nothing new to report but I would imagine it's pretty much a done deal that an i500 and i210 replacement are coming. Ping has a strong 2 year cycle on all i-series products in recent memory from i5-now. I don't see why they wouldn't be able to beat out the i210 now given they've likely had 2-2.5 years to improve on it. My bet is still on an i510 that mimics the improvements of the G710, stealth finish, slight reduction in size, and improvement in feel and back cavity.
