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?

I agree..always thought the 210 pros would just wait for the 230s if they were coming... instead of going i59 then 230s. On second thought..I really don't know what the pros would or would not do

[karstens_ghost]

As I said before, it looks pretty clear that they are a progressive set. iBlades were not progressive in their blade width. Plenty of pros have taken up the Blueprint because they're awesome. But you can't also have a bunch of pros take up your '3rd' set like the i210, and have anyone buy above it. Strange problem to have in a sense, but I think they won't use that i230 mark, which is not unusual either.

 

Who knows, though. Not me. 😉

Wish these could be available to compare with the titleists soon. Love the look of both. 
I’m not holding my breath on ping getting these out any time soon though

All this has done for me.....as much as I want BP - I'll just hang for 2nd hand market, then build to my spec. 

 

I will order i59 .....6-pw 

 

 

And

 

 

 

Wait......

They're back in my bag for the 100th time. A fresh set just sold on the Bay for $550, didn't even last 1 day. How many other major OEM's have an iron set from 2012 commanding that kind value? 

 

That being said, I'll be demo'ing the i59 as soon as possible.

Got to see them sorta-up-close in Scott McCarron's bag this past Friday at Firestone (photo is zoomed some, hence the crappy quality).  Couldn't really tell much more about them than what everyone here has been able to do, but man are they amazing looking when you see them in person 🤯

That pic seems to give more credibility to @karstens_ghost comment about progressive blade length & these being a potential 210 replacement. Maybe it's just the fact that I want it to be true that is making me see this, but the long iron (4?) looks pretty long from heel to toe.

 

 

[DFDLT]

I would guess that the new i525? will be an updated combination of what the i210 and i500 are/were and the i59 will be targeted for better players. So the i59 and new i525 or whatever it’s called will be i210 and i500 replacement. But I have no sources. Just my thoughts on what I’ve been reading here.

the iblade also has progressive blade length thats noticeable in the long irons (much more so than its predecessor s55)

[j0hnny]

anyone know how these lofts compare to S55s? Might be finally time to upgrade....

 

Need to know if i need to 'retro spec' the lofts.

The iBlade is definitely not progressive. The 5 iron and pitching wedge are the same face width.

iBlade / s56 -i actually think the s56 6i is longer heel to toe at address

 

The G series is where progressive blade lengths show....not the i or s imo

Andy Sullivan showing off his new set on Twitter this morning. They do look very nice indeed

Looks like Sully is very pleased that his wait to get set #84 is over.  Wonder who has set A0000001 ???

[karstens_ghost]

Looking forward to their announcement. I'm holding off buying MMT shafts to see what happens with stock options, but the wait is killer. I can wait 4 months for the sticks, but I gotta know what's up.

Loved reading this entire thread, and all of your WITBs are rad - even saw another i25 hybrid in a bag.  PING Ho myself, been bagging i210 for nearly three years.  Love the look of the i59, not in a hurry, we'll see what they come up with for 210 replacement (if any) over the next year.  This may be the panacea we've all been asking for - an i-line with a more compact shape and progressive design.

I agree I don't have much problem waiting if you've got an idea of what's going on. Ping has pretty much gone dark for a good while now. I cant imagine they are happy about the situation but Im sure they will kick out the jams as soon as they can

Ya, I bought a set of MMTs to put in my Blueprints. I'll wait patiently on i59s, now. Maybe up to a year. We'll see.

[mosesgolf]

Looks like a combo of iBlade, Blueprint and i500.  Looks fine but Pings are pushing the overpriced barrier. 

[buckeye63]

Seeing these in McCarrons bag is making me hope for a closer release date since he is a non staffer?? They will still probably have a 6-8 week lead time on pre-orders or customs order.

The i59 barely has any offset and the i210 has a good amount for a "players" club. Why are people so fixed on blade length progression?

 

Ian Fraser, from TXG, even said that there will be no i210 replacement this year. Even the photos that were posted from the PING Tour truck on this site have the i59 side by side with the iBlade. That must tell you something.

It's Open Championship week...

Will we finally get clarity on i525, i59, and i230? Or just more bread crumbs to drive everyone nuts?

[PeterPing]

I blade replacement. They are on the Ping Japan website. 

[WornDownLooper]

Never been much of a Ping guy but these would make me think twice!

[GoGatorsChomp]

Did we ever come to a conclusion with what on earth is going on with Ping iron replacements?! Will there be replacements for both the 210 and 500 or will it be just the one iron replacing both?! I’ve been trying to get a set of 210’s for about 9months now, Ping gave up on fulfilling my order and I haven’t been able to find a set elsewhere 😩 I have very much depreciated my mates spare set of P760’s while waiting for Ping this year!
