Any i210 users still out there?

[YAMS49]

Year 3 of I210's here. They aren't going anywhere soon. In fact I'm on the prowl for a second set,

Just brought my set out of the basement to start the year with.

After a wandering 1.5 years with Maltby TS1's, TS3's, TS-IM's, TM770, TM790, Mizuno 225's and Ping i230's, I am back to the Ping i210's. It just took me that long to realize that the consistency, accuracy and looks were what I needed the most.

 

I'm currently looking for a minty back up set, heads only if possible, 6-W,U. 

What was it that led you to prefer i210s over i230s?

Sound, feel, spin, consistency, looks (to my eye), blade shape.

 

All very subjective, but I'm the guy who matters. 🙂

No totally, I am too! I just am curious if you could be more specific on those points. Does one feel softer? Spin more? Which one looks bigger? And how are the blade shapes different?

The i210 is bigger. I'm tapped out on the explanations. LOL. I played the i210's before, so it's like going home, hard to describe the warm fuzzy feelings of sleeping in my old bed,  mom's home cooking, and getting to drive Dad's Mustang GT. And discovering that they still didn't know where I kept my stash.

Agree with the above, could never get on with the 230's. Turf interaction sucked (for me=fat shots) and forgiveness, no where near the 210. Heck Hovaland is still playing them, and thats good enough for me. As a back-up I also have G430's for when I want more forgiveness and distance.

I know @Redpro is sincere- he is the new owner of my i210's. I hope I don't regret this- the i210's just ticked all the boxes for me when it came to looks, sound, and feel. But after a winter range session I knew I was just more confident looking down on a G series iron, the shovels of choice for over 10 years now. It was only a matter of time before they found a new home. Hope they are what you were after, Redpro!

Thanks BiffTaco!

Why did you fully switch? I have 4-7 in i210 and was thinking about doing a combo with the blueprint s in 8-PW

 

My longest iron is a 5. With the BPS, the 5 and 6 are (relatively) easy to hit. So far I don't feel like I'm giving up anything with the BPS long irons. But I don't think you can go wrong with a combo either.

Year 5 with these guys. I had i230 for one round and immediately went back.

I210’s still going great for me!

[toastinato]

Just picked up a mint set of 4-P! Gamed them a few years ago and loved them. Can’t wait! 

[Trouble_shooter]

Goat irons. Missed the set by two weeks before being discontinued. Ordered a set, customized them, covid happened, they shut down the plant that they build them in vietnam. Dont know if ill ever get over that 🤣

I would also add that I have played with most of the i's, and the 25's were amazing, as were the ie1's, and even the 20's, and of course my original beloved i5's, but the 210's just look and feel a smidge better, and power spec'ed go far enough.
