It is for fun posting pure nonsense to see who really knows what they are talking about, and who has real inside knowledge..not many as it turns out. . All the real knowledgeable posters who used to be here don’t post anymore. These were the guys that were in the industry and knew about metals and production. All that is left now is wannabees and 12-16 year olds who claim to know all about forgings, castings etc. This site is still OK for pictures, but now is mostly fun to watch the lemmings dance.. I saw the pictures of all these many months ago, and have had great fun. Played Ping almost exclusively since I started playing..first set Ping forged 69.. Stay tuned for more information to see what is real and what isn’t.. I like to mix in good info with the pure fiction which is required to be a frequent poster here..one thing that is a constant is use of the English language. Butiful

Because of Ping dragging their feet with these unfinished products I had to pull the trigger on 20% off Ap3's from golf galaxy.. Discount good through tomorrow ... Never seen titleist agree to promotions. I hate that ping waits as long as possible before showing their finished product! And I really wanted an all ping bag!

I wonder how many people will switch from the 790s to these irons.

 

I really do not think a lot will be switching from the 790s because they are less than a year old. My guess is that the bigger number will be people who would have purchased the 790s are now going to purchase the i500s.

Now that looks sweet. It would make a great G700/i500 combo. Definitely don't want to rule that option out.

Looks like they've figured out the weighting issue with that fat hosel and the weight screw on the toe. I have to admit that I don't see how that's going to work but engineers are a bright bunch. I always liked their central CTP, which made a lot of sense rather than dropping more weight into the hosel to adjust swingweights. It'll probably be a "if you like D0, you're in luck"....otherwise, lead tape. Their casting will need to be much more precise to get it right because some of the CTP weights were quite heavy to get things right in past models. I understand this to be a cast chassis with forged face.
