Irons to replace I200s

[SoILgolfer]

I'm currently playing I200s with KBS Tour 130 X shafts.  I like them, but I've never been completely happy with them.  I think it's more of a shaft issue.  Was a long time X100 user, and I think the balance point difference is throwing things off for me.  With the cost of reshafting and gripping, it's almost easier to buy new irons.  What is everyone's opinion on new irons to replace the I200s?  If you switched out of I200s what did you move to?  Just looking for some insight into what's new, since I'm covered in snow and can't look at anything in person right now.  Thanks!

Im in the same boat. Still like my i200 but really thinking about i210 or wait for i210 replacement 🤔

I was looking at the I210s also, but I can't find anyone who is able to order them right now.  I'm not sure if they are being phased out, or if Ping is having trouble getting the heads for the builds.  I haven't seen any verified info on what the I210 replacement would be.  I like the G425s as far as looks go, but I'm not sure I would get along with the bigger sole.  I'm more of a sweeper.

Take a look at the Srixon ZX5's. Endo Forged and every bit as forgiving as the I200's and 210's. If you like some forgiveness,super soft feel and a little added distance the Srixons fit the bill.

Thanks brain.  I was looking at possibly doing a combo set of ZX5 and ZX7.  Need to get somewhere to see them in person first.

I almost did a combo but the 5's felt so good I just stuck with them. I probably won't get them until the end of March but that's ok.

Just find a set of pulls and preferably with grips on and off you go.  Re-shafting these is super easy, do it yourself.

i210, Srixon, Mizzy HMB, 921F, Apex

 

As to i210 - probably not since it will be replaced sooner than later.

I210 with an x100 or nippon modus is my vote

i210 if you can find them. Great irons! Second choice for me would be the Srixon ZX5’s and then the Callaway Apex.

Super long lead times from Ping for everything except the new G425 series.  They are prioritizing that line and everything else is constrained by supply chain.

Talked to ping today, 12-15 WEEKS for i210s...

Tough pill to swallow, but if you are in a part of NA that isn't really going to get into the season for another 2 months, easier to take.  More so with all the cold weather that is going around right now.

Anybody know how long of wait times for the G425’s?
