Good irons and price for mid-low handicapper looking to work the ball more
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this set as a replacement for some more forgiving clubs that I deemed did not allow me to work the ball as much as I liked. Other reviews said that the i15's were a good compromise between blades and clubs for the higher handicapper. I have been steadily working my handicap down into the mid to low teens, and the thinking was that with better clubs I could continue that trend.
I also took advantage of the pricing, which Ping has reduced (probably to make way for the introduction the G-20's and the other 20 line to come.) My son just bought a set of Mizuno's which is comparable for three hundred dollars more.
My experience after the first few rounds has been mixed -- in large part because they are exactly what I wanted. The clubs do let me work the ball more, but at the expense of the larger sweet spot. They feel great when hit right, but since lately I am no more than a twice a month golfer, I have not gotten to the point of consistency that I need in order to take advantage of their capacity.
I find overall they are as long or longer than my former set, allow me to get a bit more spin and control when hit right, and have a consistently high loft allowing for good control on the green. They feel very nice in my hands -- good weighting, and the dot system allows you to get the right head angle and shaft length. I had hit with black dots at local shops, so the set fit me well right out of the box. I think I will like these the more I play with them.
Now if I can just play a few times a week...
