Hovland new irons at 2023 Scottish Open?

[TheMoneyShot]

I have Hovy winning the Open next week in my pool.  Would be even cooler if he did it with some new Prototype Ping BP irons…

Never a fan of polished and satin finishes combined.

 

Otherwise, looks really good.

[animalgolfs]

That gives ie1 vibes IMO

Yep, Hatton reported to have bagged new irons this week too

[ericft]

Not a fan of chrome accents on clubs.

Was hoping for iblade replacement that’s not forged. So much for that hope. Also think very ugly from back. Disappointed to say the least.

Total non-sequitur ... Did your clubs pass?

2 sets didn’t. One set did. The set that did was played on tour by Matt jones around 99-2001.   The two failures were vega raw prototypes …. One of my worst regrets is selling those two sets.  I scour eBay on lonely nights trying to find them.  😂

You sir, are a true Wrx’er.

I don’t know whether to say thanks or shoot you a bird 🦅 😂.   Just kidding.  I think nerd is the proper term.

The hosel notch looks massive and IMHO ruins the overall appearance of the club which is a shame because the at address pics are pretty good.

That Chrome has to go

Wonder if the blade version will be all chrome?

If we had a ‘middle finger’ reaction emoji, I’d wear it out! 😂

They look awesome at address, don't really care much about the other angles.

She better be great in bed because she's homely.

[kingbing]

I have a feeling these are going to be much better looking in person.  Just wait…

[toddyc]

Has ping ever had mirror chrome on an iron before?

[karstens_ghost]

You guys salivating are all going to have to start dealing with the idea that these are going to be around $250/iron. Maybe a little more. The i59 was $250, so expect it.

Be fair to it. That green shirt in the reflection does nothing good for it.

[animalgolfs]

I'm REALLY interested in the T version - as I carry 9w 5h 6h already. 

 

Anybody got those pics?

Are you more concerned how they look in the bag or at address?

Yep, these are going to be pricey for sure which is definitely the downside.  Unfortunately, $1500-$2000 is becoming the norm for new top tier iron sets, just crazy🤦

I’ve accepted that I won’t own ever own a new car again due to price increases. Starting to think that will apply to golf clubs too! Prices are crazy high and then if you get fit like you should you’re talking another grand probably.

Yeah, it’s crazy.  Even buying used clubs and then building to specs is getting expensive unless you buy beat up clubs which none of us on here do.
