I think we will know more in a few weeks.

 

i sincerely hope they aren't too much club for me because I want them in a bad way 

 

I'll be honest, either way they'll be in my bag. Just not sure how long! 🤣

THIS is THE strength of this forum: 
 

Someone following Andy Sullivan on Twitter, so I don’t have to.

They look good.  If you're into that sort of thing I guess haha.  I am hoping these will be an iblade type club.  A little less demanding than Blueprint and just as sexy as a MB.  

 

This angle makes it look like there is some more depth than I was expecting based on other pics.  I like it!

From what I understand, the iblade is actually pretty damn forgiving for its shape?  
 

ready for the story on these!

I am far from a premiere ball striker, and when I hit the iBlades, I found them surprisingly easy to hit and forgiving.

Cameron Champ w/ i59’s in the bag.  Last month he was playing 4-P (sometimes 3-P) in i210.

I believe that if Westwood puts them in the bag we can assume that these are I210 replacements.

Even if Westwood puts them in the bag they are not I210 replacements

I am suddenly getting pretty excited for these, especially if the long irons may be a bit too "game improvement" for the pros.

 

Although TBH, a reduced offset i210 (especially in the long-irons) would probably be my perfect club for the amount of golf I currently get to play.

Been playing the iBlade for about 2 months now. I'm constantly surprised by how forgiving they are. It's insane for the head size.

Seems like more players are putting them in play, curious if we are getting close to public release date. Want to get in on the pre-orders 4-W with Modus shafts for me!

The weight placement seems to have a lot in common with the Srixon ZX7/ZX5 line I currently play.  If I am right, I will love these as well!  I have always been a bit of a Ping fanboy and I would really like for these get my bag back to Ping.

With all the production delays Ping is having, wouldnt be surprised if Ping is in no rush to release sthg new. (I say that hoping I’m wrong)

A lot like the Nike Vapor Pro Combo shape too, may have to try these out when they eventually release!

I got it! One of you need to call Ping with that serial # and say you lost the 7i.......

 

The 3* upright isn't my style- some one step up

[Lefty87]

So do these fall between the blueprint and iblade or between the iblade and i210? What are the best guesses in terms of forgiveness? Could an i500 player game these?

i500 / iBlade

Thanks. Isn’t that kind of where the i210 is in forgiveness? Also, what’s the anticipated release date for these? August?

i blade replacement

Blueprint-i 59-i210

 

[karstens_ghost]

The majority consensus for 2021/22 is (and note it's not a guarantee):

 

BP / i59, then i230 / i525, then G425 / G710.

 

The odd part for Ping is I don't think in recent memory they've had 6 iron "lines" outside their women's and kids lines. However, I believe that based on this, the thinking is that each of the three categories (tour-ish / everyone / mid-high cap) now has a blending option, along with the 59/230 or 525 option in long irons. The monochrome approach to styling I think reflects this, so you aren't building a rainbow badge situation. It worked with getting rid of the i-woods series, as well. If I were a fitter, this would reflect a much easier way for me to look at someone's abilities with short and medium/long irons and not be afraid to recommend a blend. It's the industry trend, and I think Ping are wise to do it here.

 

The hard part is the covid-times juggling of a wider array of iron options.

The toe shaping, particularly at address, looks a little weird to me but I think I could get used to it. Otherwise, these could be fraternal twins with my beloved Nike VPC, am I right? 

I think they look so good!

[Doc420]

I don't think we will see anything before October 

[sociojeje]

Very nice looking. Hope they make i525 that nice too. 

[karstens_ghost]

I'm starting to think there may not be an i230, and that these are it.

 

BP/i59/425/525/710

 

Maybe 5 are indeed enough?

[m_w]

those soles look like I'll like them
