Ping I210 irons & Glide forged wedge

[GolfMonster09]

Man FedEx sucks. We had a little storm this afternoon so the driver apparently quit for the day and my clubs still aren’t here. FedEx is always the slowest delivery company anyway. I worked at the hub in Memphis in college and cringe when I see they are shipping my clubs because I remember how packages are handled.

 

If anyone from Ping reads this, find a new shipping company. FedEx is a terrible joke and I am amazed that people continue to do business with them.

 

Now I just need to find out who I can yell at locally for their pathetic service.

 

Have you even met UPS? USPS?

 

DHL takes the cake for worst delivery service. Not even close...

USPS is at least fast. Working at FedEx in college I saw a PC monitor make it too far down the belt. A worker picked it up and heaved it about 15 feet back down the line. It landed on a metal grate with a crunch. This was 15 years ago, so it was not LED, we are talking glass screen.

 

**Update** My clubs arrived. The poor FedEx lady lugged them up my driveway at 10:45PM... Before anyone asks I did not call and complain to make this happen. I saw the headlights and went out to meet her so there was no doorbell waking the kids up. She said she was trying to just sneak the packages on to porches but people kept meeting her at the door. That is what happens when I see headlights in front of my house at almost 11pm.

 

By then I was over it and would have been fine with getting them tomorrow. She said she had one more stop to make and I mostly just felt bad for this lady out making deliveries that time of night. Also, what if I had been asleep? Were they going to leave a new set of clubs on my porch overnight? That doesn’t seem safe.

 

Predictably the box was creased but the clubs seemed fine. I will get a better look at them tomorrow but the crease was at the midpoint and shafts are made to flex. It was by no means a severe bend so I expect all is well.

 

PS - I don’t even count DHL as a real service anymore.

yeah, the days of needing signatures are long gone

Hmmmm, I guess you never used UPS, the 'New Pony Express", seven days and still no clubs!

[ssfranny]

OMG, those i210s just do something special for me... can't wait to try them, might put the s55s on backup duty.... hmmm

 

Maybe if they were forged..

yeah, full 5 business days from Phoenix to Lake City, FL so if you are in VA, probably the same...

 

I am personally not a fan of UPS, due to a past dealing with their business model that cost me a HUGE amount of money, and half the hair on my head.

 

FedEx is by far the better way to go, but when you are talking "cheapest shipping method chosen" they all suck when you do that.

 

ESPECIALLY that smartpost crap that they do now... 5 days to get it across the country, only to give it to the post office, for them to take two more days to deliver it. I hate seeing that crap when I buy something on Amazon...

but what if we blame Tyson Lamb (no idea who he is, but guessing he is the guy that makes the ball markers) for all the worlds shipping problems

In that case, carry on.

You guys are lucky I'm still waiting on my shipping date!

i210's, 4-P, D4, PX LZ 5.5's, plus 1.5 wraps. I tried the 6.0's this year and found them a hair to stiff for this smooth swinging 49yr old. I'm hoping the 5.5's feel a little softer....

Same. Hoping to get an email today.

Jackpot. Shipping tomorrow.

I hit the i210 and i500 today. I got almost identical numbers with the i210 that I had with the i200. Around 22* launch and 7,500-7,700 spin. The i500 launched around 19.5*’s and was spinning around 6,600-6,700 rpms which gave me around 10 yards farther distance.

 

 

[Steele47]

I finally saw the i210's today in person. Dammit! I may pull the trigger on them with Nippon 950's. I love that shaft and hope they go well with the heads. I feel pretty confident it would be a good match.

[Treyball344]

Loving my i210’s. Perform as you’d hope. Some forgiveness, no surprises, and great feel

7i loft differential of 2.5* however....those numbers make sense

How many of you who pre-ordered customized i210s have received your order? When did you place your order? Thanks.

order was placed on 7/20 and received 8/8

[Big Ben]

My set hasn't even been built yet! Sucks, my shop said Ping is swamped. BB

[yesac104]

Sexy!!

[agood3putt]

So i originally purchased the Ping i500's from 4-PW with the Modus 3 105s Stiff and got them in about a week ago. I tested them extensively almost every day both on range and mats. Just could not get over how different the demo's were at roger dunn when it came to hot spots on the clubs. Didnt know if my 7 iron was going to go 160 or 190.

 

Decided to return them and got the i210's in the stock DG 120's. They feel a little boardy so I ordered a set with the Project X LZ 6.0's after testing them and they feel amazing. Hoping they arrive in the next couple of weeks. I'd rather know my true numbers hitting into a green then worrying about a flyer with the i500's. The i210's fit the bill. Not to mention they feel super soft, especially for being a cast club.

[juliette91]

First playing round with i210 1 degree flat lower loft package, Project X 5.5. They are 1/2 club or more shorter for me than my 8-9 year old Adams CB2 irons and not even as forgiving for some reason. Like to hit them and easier to hit than my Adams but h a t e losing yardage to 9 year old tech. Then again if I can hit my new 6 iron as close to the flag-from the same distance away-as my Adams hard 8 iron I guess it’s just ego and as a practical matter nothing.

[BCULAW]

How is the wear on these? My i200s looked pretty rough very quickly. I know the wear is purely cosmetic, but has Ping addressed the issue with the new hydropearl finish?

[mdwac]

Received my I210s with Recoil 110. I have had elbow pain for awhile and switched to graphite shafts. Current set is Srixon 765 with 110 steelfiber.

 

Have played Ping on and off for the last 20 years. 1 index with a 7 iron carry in the 170 range.

 

Tried them out of the box on the course for a few holes. I asked for grips to be +1 wrap and unfortunately guy who did them at PING must have been rushed, can feel the seam of the tape on about 1/2 of the grips. Just bad QC.

 

Primarily hoping for a higher and softer balll flight vs 765. Not sure why but the 765 plus the Steelfiber is causing me launch and distance problems. Vokey gap goes 115-120 but then all of the sudden I have a Srixon 8 iron flying with a lowish draw that is going 160 in the air and rolling out another 10. Gaps are too big with scoring irons and at top end of bag (4 iron) I am not getting much more carry than 5 iron.

 

I210s today defiantly didn’t feel “soft”, they did appear to go a little higher and land softer. Sole might be more forgiving. I like the looks for what the club is. Will see the performance I get over the next two weeks or so.

What’s the turn around time on the i210? Just traded in my irons and ordered 4-p with px lz 6.5 and paid for overnight shipping hoping to have them for my vacation next week.

I ordered mine from roger dunn here in Orange County California two days ago and was quoted two weeks

[PBrowne3]

My combo set recently arrived. i500 3 iron and i210 4 iron through 9 iron. Project X LZ shafts. They are incredible.

Better check that. I can guarantee its not a seam. Ping wraps their tape so there are no seams.

Curious as to your decision to go with the i500 3 iron as opposed to the i120 3 iron? Have been going back and forth between either a full set of i210's or thinking of doing a little combo set myself but actually going with the i210 long irons(just for some more relief in the longer clubs) and some iblades in the short irons. Originally was going with a whole set of iblades and maybe a i210 3 iron and build it more driving iron like with a graphite shaft of some sort to replace the UDI. Right now just throwing darts at a board trying to decide which way to go which is why I was curious of your thoughts. I liked the i500's but I hit them to high and distances tended to be a little inconsistent.
