So if I go G430 in the long irons with PURFLEX technology, new ZX7s in the short irons with the PUREFRAME technology, and set of PUR Cobra wedges there will be zero doubt I will be hitting the ball pure right?

I am done with the internet for today...

Are these going to be that strong of lofted irons that they will have a PW, 45, then a 50 deg GW?  That is like the Cally Mavrik's, where there are two gap wedges?

[ShortSticks]

Got to say I kind of like these.

I did hear 41* PW in the set

These irons look like they were built by SpaceX. Very techy and busy IMO. Do golfers really need the loft on the face of the club? That would distract me personally.

[bifftaco]

These look busy and ugly, but the overall shape looks futuristic and pretty sleek for a GI iron. Not quite sure if I like them or not. I also hate the G15's when they first appeared, but ended up loving them and playing for years.....

[JDTex]

That PurFlex bit or medallion looks like it would work its way loose being in three pieces like it is. My OCD does not like it at all.

[newportbeach]

Hey at least they shouldn't get the "another boring game improvement iron" moniker 🙂

[eric61]

For GI irons, I honestly like these pretty well. I'd like them even better if they hadn't put "PurFlex" on them.

[Davethegolfer]

Still stamping the club number on the face to cater for the idiots 😆

Tbh of all the manufacturers, I really didn’t expect ping to submit to the loft jacking battle like this. A 41* pitching wedge, a 45, and a 50? Straight up embarrassing. A 45 is strong loft for a pw in its own right! 

[BirdieBob]

Holy offset batman!

[GolfTurkey]

Figures, I received the shipping notification last night for my PW and UW G425s that complete my set.

Yep, I find it quite helpful !!

Has Ping abandoned the i series line? 
 

I210”s have been out of stock for about a year and a half and the are teasing another iron?

i230 “in hand” photos and pro testing started a few mos ago, and there’s a big thread on it (see link below). According to some people in that thread, theyll be launched as soon as early November.

That is between my 8i and 9i.

Yes and according to the g425 specs, that 41 degree g430 PW is stronger lofted than the g425 with power specs (42.5 degrees)!  That's crazy!!

 

Maybe they should get rid of the iron number and just stamp them all with the lofts!

I like these. Shape is great. 

[erock9174]

Usually ping is pretty conservative with lofts. I’ll be interested to hear how they frame the jacked lofts. That puts the 7i around 26-27* right ?  Maybe just a case of tired of getting beat in online LM reviews.

That 7i loft sounds about right!  Now what kinda lofts would you get if you ordered this set "power spec"?   lol

 

[PostandGhost]

Why would they put "45" on the nine iron but "W" on the pitching wedge?

[sofla]

Not to be greedy, but need the comparison to the G425. I love the G425. Best shape for a G ever. Still big but not as large as they used to be. The G430 seem to be larger but can't be sure until see comparison pics.

Now that is all I see. 🙂 I'm struggling to figure out how that is helpful. It's not like an elf magically switches my club from when I pull it out of the bag until I address the ball.

[elwhippy]

4 iron could be a great club for tight fairways.

Taylormade Burner redux.

[realitycheck]

The shape at address is right, but boy is it hard to look at on the back side
