Not exactly what I wanted to hear. I am going on two weeks here and it's getting itchy already. What did you order exactly?

No worries boss. I’m a bit over sensitive at the moment anyway. I got what you said now.

[beluga99]

Enjoying all the golf related banter. Carry on Blade and Cardy.

As an aside, what specs are people ordering these in? Anyone going for the no upcharge shafts i.e DG 120 or rolling with tried and true?

Tried and true -- S400 TI. I might get the 120 in the 4 cross, but 5i->58 all the same.

Power spec with Steelfiber 110cw's. Not sure the delay, possibly overwhelmed with orders? Not like Ping to take more than 2 weeks to deliver, especially just one state over.

Well...here's to both of us getting clubs soon! With high school golf season approaching fast I'll be so busy coaching I will not have much time for "me golf" as I call it.

[cardoustie]

I had mine in under two weeks but here demand is high and supply is not unlimited

[cardoustie]

Mine are power spec orange dots, 3/4" over, some pseudo moi iron length spacing

Started with s400's and now into xp115 x100's ... which I love

170 is my 8 iron again .. like it used to be with my s55's when I first got them

Sorry about the new iron love fest w Blade, we have similar games and have gotten similar stellar results

It's the clubs. I've bought so many new sticks over the years I was amped up about and performance was less than intoxicating

I was chasing down Ping - being for retail on these - going way back ... so that was exciting. Then a set you were Jonesing about delivers Nirvana ... just very pleased in a golf junkie way and wanted to share the results. The triple whammy is of course everyone said way they're way too small and too hard to hit, they couldn't have been more wrong

[beluga99]

Reading all the passionate stories from Cardy, Blade, Matchavez etc.. about the amazing performance really stirs the juices. Long time Ping fan, and really enjoy my 919 Tours, but you can never have too many sets of quality irons can you?

Very true

[Kale_m]

Would like to compare them to my raw apex mb. Not sure how something could feel better then the raw apex

Double that.......from get go I always said small, easy to hit. You know I dumped mine cause shaft not best fit, did not want to go through reshaft, etc etc. Anyway went with 410’s, looked great, wanted to love cause love ping, offset was not bad, but I think I like a thin soled iron. For now sticking with my Srixon 785’s & Z forged, let bank account build back up, then build to my liking, did not know they came D0 stock, just little light! Plus been going through shafts for 410 driver, another $700. I’m done hitting in bays and having individuals suggesting from just seeing how you hit a ball on course. What feels good and being able to predict the general direction, works for me, and the stock red/black Alta 55 stiff works best. PM me. Don’t need another warning email.

> Awesome man. Numbers ? Lol. My approach stats are really good. Always have been. Every time I mention them in relation to scoring /putting it triggers someone into calling me names. Lol supposedly you can’t hit it as good as I do and not score well each time out. Whatever. Guys on tv do it. Not sure why It’s odd for me to do it.

> The 69 last Saturday I described started with a tee ball OB double bogey on the first hole. Birdies on 3-4-5 to get to 1 under and turned in 35. Then birdied 10 13 and missed a 3 1/2 footer ( wasn’t 4 I stepped it ) on 18 for birdie. So minus the owning double and making the putt on 18 were talking a 66 minimum. I say that because 1 is a reachable par 5 im used to birdies on. I hit 14 greens. I’m now averaging 14.4 greens a round. Now I will say that I can fluctuate. On a bad day I’ll hit 9-10 Great day like two Saturday’s ago at the county am I hit 17.

> All that said to say. That’s why I’m now working on putter a couple hours a day. Time to stop wasting these looks . I’m averaging 34 putts a round. I want to be sub 30. Sub 30 putts and my handicap would drop 2 points into plus territory.. it’s doable. For a couple years my obvious Achilles was driver. Worked all last winter on making driver my favorite club. I’ll hit it anywhere now.

 

Get an Evnroll putter best move I made, averaging 28 putts a round now. Playing to a 4 handicap could be lower if I could get my driver back to how it use to be but that's golf.

Not nice to mess with ppl when they're on edge 'doustie!

I have 919t's on order if it makes you feel better

Well then, you're the perfect individual to give feedback before I take the plunge. Very interested in your thoughts on both.

You talk about never having too many sets, don’t have the BP’s anymore as you know but got my Srixon Z forged irons, Ping 410’s and traded my Srixon z785’s today after a Mizuno fitting for 919tour. I’m liking the new optimizer Mizuno has. I have low ball flight and now I know that tool picked right shaft. It’s same shaft I’ve been fitted for 3 times but not hard stepped and 1/2 degree upright. Also steered me away from a 3 and 4 iron in the set .

And I have my 919 T on order as well.

 

I’m still curious enough to next year move on set of BP with same makeup as all my other sets. Swing weight and such.

 

[beluga99]

Good call on the 3 & 4 iron in the 919T. I have the 6-W which I would likely get in the BPs. The 5 Fli Hi is a terrific club, and I think they offer it in the 6 iron also.

[ZAP]

Had a momentary freak out today when the clubhouse manager came out to talk to me. The course where my high school team practices is where I ordered my Blueprints from. I was hoping he had news. He was just asking me which nine we were looking to get out on and letting me know to watch out for sprinklers coming on while were were playing.

[mgfish23]

Has anyone seen the blueprint in left handed configuration?

Pictures page 45. I'm a lefty and hopefully I will see mine in person fairly soon.

[cardoustie]

Well my roll continues... tied my PB tonight with 68 on league day

4 birdies and no bog's

Great up and downs on last 3 holes with the pressure on .. the only 3 greens I missed ...

13 of 14 fairways with the 410 LST in play

Blueprints came in yesterday, couldn't wait to get a round in with them. Left work early. Fell in love right away. I'm coming from PXG 0311T Gen 1. Similiar numbers for me but there's nothing better than looking at the blueprints at address.

Just wait till you hit them. Forgiveness if amazing for an iron this size

I have the PXG Gen 1 T's and the Gen 1 player irons. Just got a set of the Blueprints 6-PW with iBlade 4 and 5 iron last week. There's something about the Blueprints that keeps drawing me to them. They do look awesome and can be intimidating to look at..even for a low handicapper...but they are surprisingly forgiving for their size. My miss is typically on the toe...come out of my posture on the way down occasionally....and the toe weight/screw really counteracts toe misses. I have the powerspec lofts so I'm seeing a little extra distance compared to the PXGs.

[wdaig1]

I just ordered Blueprint 7i thru PW. What irons are most people combo'ing the set with? I was thinking i210's but I see some use iblades and i500's. Also is anyone using the 410 Crossover?

This post really resonates with my experience. I have 5-PW with PX LZ 6.0 in Power Spec lofts. My typical miss is on the toe side and I was so surprised how forgiving they are on toe side misses. The shape at address is beautiful with almost no offset and it's really easy to hit even though the club head is small. Overall I am happy with this purchase.

[gambit]

Another pretty good ball striking round today in wet and breezy conditions. Misses were all me that no club would’ve helped i.e. alignment way off or hitting it thin because I started looking for the ball flight before actually making contact. When I say thin I mean above the equator of the ball lol. Those were only a handful of times. Catching it a groove low is still very forgiving. Also no warm up as this course doesn’t have a range so drove an hour and straight to the first tee. The twosome I got paired with were playing best ball and after a few holes they used my ball as best ball lmao.

Would love to hear some input on this as well.
