i210 magic dust

ShamBo:  Oh my gosh, I am so sorry!! LOL

Yes, I knew all about the legal issues and Bo is a great guy and approached that conflict with aggressive diplomacy. I really like their new location, but am bummed that Noah (the young man that ground my Pings) is no longer there. 

 

Once again, so sorry about my misspelling, I'll try to do better next time. 🙂

Anybody have an idea on wait times for i210 irons? Ive heard g425 is now around 10 weeks

[nostatic]

Last thing I heard from Carl’s was 10-12 weeks,  But that was a few weeks back. 

[FadeToSlice]

I ordered a set mid June through club champion with stock modus 105 and was told to plan on 3 months. Club Champion said they could build me the same set and deliver in 8 weeks but it would cost almost $500 more.

[Trouble_shooter]

Yea it’s 10-12 weeks. I ordered the i210 3-pw with recoils 6/5 and expected ship date is 8/18

[Joe40]

Just under six weeks from ordering to arriving at my house - close to standard specs though.

[nilopol]

I canceled my order after 4/16 order to 6/15 ship to then Mid July update estimate.  Felt no end in sight, so I cancelled.  2nd Swing honored my request to cancel and refund.  

[Joe40]

Would you be happy with this on a brand new club?  One of the elastomers is not sitting flush with the cavity.  Looks a bit shoddy to me.

[Joe40]

I spoke to Ping - and they’re not happy with it and are going to repair it.

 

Otherwise, wow, these things are a joy to hit!  They’ve replaced a set of JPX EZ and it’s like using a scalpel instead of a claymore 😀

FedEx got me my i210’s yesterday and I opened them up today after a 24 hour work shift. Ordered from PGASS as they were the only place I found new ones in stock. Thought I was getting TT DG S300 but actually received TT DG 120 S300 which is fine by me.  They’re the same weight as my current modus 105 x.  Happy with my purchase so far but haven’t hit them yet. The head size seems to be almost exactly the same as my JPX 919 HMP but with a tad more offset but I knew that already by the specs. 

 

 

Sooooooooo......been a week.....you get out yet?

Actually I haven’t. I live in Illinois and we had 7” of rain over the course of a few days and am now on a motorcycle trip to the “Tail of the Dragon” all week. I will hit them next week.  The Glide wedges I ordered aren’t expected until September if anybody has ordered any of those.

Is that in Virginia?  I grabbed used 2.0 Glides and LOVE THEM!

Ahhhhh.....have fun and most of all, BE SAFE! I think we've driven that going to Dollywood/Pigeon forged/Gatlinburg

Been thinking about a little forgiveness in irons.  May have to give these a try.  

[Bar_Stroll]

I’ve read all the threads on this iron. Have swing changed out of my current shafts and wanted a less clicky head. 
 

I’m really drawn to Ping as everything they make seems to be so easy to hit. But I was rolling my eyes at people talking about how great the accuracy and overall dispersion was. That has to come from the swing right?
 

I bought a used set of i210 with project X LZ 6.0’s off eBay in great condition. I’m kind of perplexed at how much more accurate I am. I’ve only used them a few rounds but damn are they easy to hit, no flyers, and just as much distance or more than my old Rogue Pros with 1.5-2° more loft. 
 

Really great irons. Mad I’m so late to the party.

I've also been reading all these threads as a way to justify my purchase.  Ordered a set of i210s after a fitting at 2nd Swing (which was live on their Youtube channel, I'll throw it down below, don't roast me too badly).  They're replacing my trusty Adams CMBs.  I've never been a Ping guy and honestly didn't want to try them in the fitting until the fitter suggested it.

 

I ordered on June 1st (with Modus 105 S shafts), and have been told that I have a couple more weeks to wait, so looking like mid-August probably.  I've called their custom order people three or four times asking for an update, hah.

 

Last time I asked them, they told me 10-12 weeks is what Ping is quoting everyone now.

 

Can't wait to put them into play!

An update on my order. Placed on May 1st, they advised on 7/29 that they are ready to go, sans the 8 iron. They’re still waiting on the shaft for that club and the next shaft delivery is expected 8/10. They’re gonna ship the rest of the clubs now.

Minnetonka location?  or Minneapolis?

Hope you enjoy the new toys.

Minnetonka.  I've been a 2nd Swing fan my whole life, it's cool to see them get pretty big in our niche space, and their YouTube stuff is really good too.

 

Anxiously awaiting!

Side note:  swing looks fine to me  🙂

 

I used to practically live at 2nd Swing.  I can't even count the number of things I've bought there.   LOL

Recently added the i210 to my bag.  I was a high handicapper last year. I have practiced a lot since last fall and my iron striking has improved considerably. I've played around with other clubs lately (blueprints, p770) just for kicks, and my scores have been good but felt I could do better. So I put the i210 back in and headed to a course that I hadn't played before. Played the best round of my life yesterday. Shaved off 8 strokes from my previous best. I had a few long putts drop for me so that was part of it. But the big part is easily the short irons. Coming back to the i210s after experimenting with other clubs confirmed that these clubs help with my consistency. Flight and distance was money every time from 150 yards in.  These clubs are definitely helping me make the transition from a high to a mid-handicapper (yes, the practicing is a big reason too).

 

To those waiting for their orders to come in, they're definitely worth the wait!

What makes the performance better than the t100 for most? Thx. 

I’m a pretty strong ball striker and the dispersion on the Ping’s were way better for me than the Titleist. I love the look of the Titleist irons but performance for me is way better for Ping.

[Trouble_shooter]

As soon as I demoed the i210’s I handed the man the keys to my car, the checkbook, and my girlfriends phone number. No worries, when she sees the account statement for custom i210’s with a 3 iron added with recoils and custom grips I’ll be single anyhow 😂. I’m kidding, I did order the i210’s, just a flat out repeatable iron that feels amazing. I was sold on the first swing. 

[shippy18]

I was contemplating a set of i210s as I thought the price of £649 in 🇬🇧 was pretty competitive.  I watched a number of YouTube reviews on the i200 and i210 and I would have liked the latter but found a set of i200 5-U for a great price. The reviews highlighted incremental differences for me. 
 

Any club that makes it into a tour pros bag must be good and the i210 are used by a fair number of players.

Anyone go from I25 to I210? I have been playing the i25 irons with DGS300 shafts and they have been fantastic. They have been used a lot but hit them really well today, could move the ball wherever I wanted to. I have always been a DGS300 guy and tried everything at the time when I got the I25’s. Was convinced by a fitter a few years later to try Modus 105 S and I hit them about 15 yards shorter in the I200’s I had and I sold them.

Just a little curious if there is something better out there but my iron play is not what is keeping me from being a better player….

[Flat4Boxer]

These are good! Picked up a set to see what all the fuss is about and I'm not disappointed. I've had the G700's with Alta and more recently the G425's fitted with TT Elevate Tour shafts which work well for me. Beggars can't be choosers in the current market so I jumped on a set of in-stock 210's with the Nippon Modus 105's not wanting to wait the 10-12 weeks for a set build.

 

Initial thoughts....cautiously optimistic after the first range session! The 201's feel soft without the 'click' that the 425's have, (not that it ever really bothered me) and are very workable and predictable both ways. Dispersion and distance control were spot on and seem to be what I've been looking for. I lost about 7 yards on average on the higher end of the set mainly due to the loft differences between the G425's, so after a few rounds I may have them bent to power spec lofts. I also found the Nippon Modus shafts to work as well if not a little better than the TT's. They seemed to load better and provided a bit more stability and consistent ball flight. Looking forward to getting out on the course this weekend!

Well, I cancelled my custom order because 2nd Swing had a new set of i210s with the right shaft (Modus 105S), length (standard) and lie (black dot) on their website for pickup today.  I intended to get the retro lofts, but we'll see how the standard lofts work out.  And I don't love the Tour Velvet grips on them, but they're a price I'm willing to pay to get the clubs in my hands right now.

 

Hopefully my custom order cancellation means that one of you out there who's waiting will get theirs a bit sooner!

 

Looking forward to a range session.  I'll reply here with some thoughts after I've taken them for a test drive or two.

I have Modus 120S’s. Driver SS is 100mph. All the i210’s fly high and spin a lot. To a great extent, that’s what makes them so accurate.
However, particularly in the shorter irons, it’s borderline too much, and if I had it to do again, I’d get the power-spec lofts to keep the flights moderate. There’s no way I’d go with the retro lofts. The distance loss is unnecessary and the flight would be crazy high. You’re doing the right thing here IME.

Second swing will bend loft and lie on purchases without an issue, I believe it is included in every purchase on a basis level, add ons for more fitting options.
