Ping i-e Irons?

[JOHN GOLIA]

Still painful.
Where's my PING Rep??????

[Techgolfer1]

I actually didn't pay attention to the lofts and can't remember if they listed them. I can't imagine ping jacked them up or anything.

How are the CFS distance different from regular CFS? They seem practically identical?

Soft Regular 2.2° 95g Mid High Regular 2.1° 100g Mid Stiff 1.8° 110g Low Mid X-Stiff 1.6° 115g Low

 

Regular:

SHAFT FLEX TORQUE WEIGHT LAUNCH ANGLE CFS Soft Regular 2.2° 94g Mid High Regular 2.1° 99g Mid Stiff 1.8° 109g Mid X-Stiff 1.6° 114g Low Mid

 

This is a really good question. Are they just renamed?

 

I think it refers to the increments they are cut at which makes them gradually longer and therefore more distance.

[Cwing]

Specs please?

[Llortamaisey]

First off, And321 had a great idea with with that artistic rendition. I hope artistic renditions are the future of spy photos for golf clubs.

Second, for those of you trying to score pictures, download an app called xCamera on your smartphone. It allows you to take pictures while it looks like you're talking on your phone. It even displays the fake phone call on the screen.

[Golfdoctor]

For you guy's that have seen and hit them, do they have the dark finish like the G25-G30 irons or different?

[doublehans]

Any word on whether the finish issues from the i20/25/s55 have been fixed on these? Someone said before these could be refinished? I think. I'm guessing these might have a similar finish process as the glide, partly because it's the newest but also because both are 431.

I must have missed something?
Any idea of why these new irons are call i-e?
What's the e stand for?

Correct! This is exactly what I have been told by the tech guys here in Australia :)

Well if you say a long "I" followed by a long "e", the sounds together make the word "eye", which is PING's iconic irons name. Little bit like hooked on phonics! Just a theory, hopefully the PING spys won't be crashing through my front door with guns blazing at any minute.

[Golfdoctor]

I was just on Golfsmith trade-in list and they already have Ping Gmax & I series listed for clubs that can be traded in and they're not even out yet.

[sbjinx]

Dang it looks like I'm few days late on seeing pics

Someone want to post pics again

CFS "normal" and CFS "distance" are the same shafts. I actually called them about this, and the explanation was pretty simple. The "distance" shafts are the pre-cut lengths for the G30 irons. You'll notice they don't exactly match the i25/s55 lines. Some length changes are 5/8", and all are a little longer. But the designation is more of a separator by default lengths, not a change in design.

 

With that said, that was one Ping rep's explanation. I have no reason to think that it's incorrect.

Think of how many things have "i30", as well. Infiniti, Hyundai, Korg, interstate 30...
Yet now, they're Internet Exploder 1. Maybe in 2019, they'll release i-e3.. "Now with JavaScript!"

Send me a picture of your dog. I have already seen the irons.

In between PMing everyone on the site, please send me a movie.

Sorry, but that's some funny shizzle!

Does that mean that since cfs distance is stock for these that they are engineered for longer lengths? Little less upright lies, club head weights etc. like g30 vs g25

[/quote]

Correct, 1/2" longer than i25 std length. Stock swing weight is D0.

Couldn't take pictures this morning but those of you asking just look at the artist rendering, and place that on an i25 head. Also similar finish to i25, s55, not dark finish like g30

[CG05]

Gmax irons look interesting.

Has a visible cone in the cavity like some of the older burner irons. Dark finish (darker than I series anyway). Really light swing weight, C9 in 7-U, C8 in 6 iron, C7 in 5 iron, C6 in 4 iron.

Also Gmax irons have a ferrule which is odd for ping

[Kratus977]

I am in love with the i-e1 irons. When can I placed my order?

Probably have to wait until Ping officially confirms their existence.

[MikeH21]

I'm a little late to the party, how can I get my hands on some pics?

[CG05]

Orders can begin to be placed on 7/15. Won't be fulfilled and shipped until release date of 7/30

[maverick0805]

Ping players win the US SENIOR open and the traveler's. .. release the pics of these damn irons.

[erock9174]

Hey guy!! Got an email today at Golfsmith from ping directly saying that they were releasing a new I series iron line and a "G Max" wood line on july 30th. Has anyone heard or seen anything on this?

I just saw this in a locked thread. I have read the GMax will be the Karsten iron replacement. But this guys says the GMax is a wood line. Can anyone confirm. Maybe K15-ish??

[PeterSanto29]

These worth trying? Currently gaming Rocketbladez irons

[/quote]

I assume the +1/2" was at the 3/4-iron length, and probably tapers to standard length in the shorter irons? Just like the G30...?

I actually think this is smart; tapers better into the hybrid lengths.
