Loads of quality info, and all on point! Thanks 👍
Derek. I went to ping, I’m 59 dodgy hips and swing speed heading south. I was fitted for modus 105 reg, fitting was on astroturf, nice high flight.
Tried same club off grass and flight was much lower. Hitting low spin bullets. Would u suggest retro lofts, you can’t try at ping.
Have these in modus 105 reg, std lofts and I love them, nice high flight, I'm usually low ball hitter but these are great for me described exactly as I saw in fitting and in real life by Derek 👍👍
My gamer is Apex 21. What would be the advantage to switch from your experience?
Looked back to i500 structure and design !
A really nice and detailed description of this iron, thanks.
Just wondering what shaft would suit a links course for a mid flight have a fitting booked and just looking to have a idea of what to try 🤔
I'm gaming a set of Ping Eye 2 BeCu's made in 1986 and have recently been investigating what to replace with. Got fitted for P790's, how would these compare? Nice video!
Just got fitted for a set of these (5-P,U) today. Opted for the Dynamic Gold 115 shafts. Soooo good. I highly recommend them!
Got these 2 weeks ago 5-Wedge in retro spec with s159 46 bent to 47-52-58 awesome set 🥰 found them to be a decent upgrade over i525s
I'm playing these irons for about a month, highly recommend them. I'm a 9 handicap. They're hot and very accurate. Fitted with shafts are Project X IO 5.5… I'm hitting lots of greens 🙂
I have been playing with these for the last couple of weeks and love them. They are as forgiving as a game improvement iron but in a smaller package. They knocked it out of the park with this release
Buy some used i500’s instead and save a lot of cash !
Hey Derek, great review. I have been gaming i525 with Modus 105 S. Looking to upgrade to i530 but wanna move into Graphite. Any recommendations greatly appreciated. I have heard KBS PGI 80 or Recoil 90 or 105 might be a good fit. Any thoughts or recommendations are greatly appreciated.
thanks a million for great video, got fitted today was between p790 and these, ping were just so much better in all ways, gone for power spec and 1 degree flat red dot, half inch longer shaft, recoil dart regular 75g, had rotator cuff surgery earlier this year, so swing isn't at all like it used to be, found these so enjoyable to hit now the wait, thanks again
I just got fitted for these clubs. I was looking at the i530 and the G430. The i530 fit my swing much better. They look great behind the ball. The sole is perfect for cutting thru the turf. My fitter set me up with the white dot and the TT Elevate MPH 95 gram shaft in stiff. My old eye 2 are black dot and my ISI Nickel Irons are blue dot. So the fitting is a must.
What a passionate review Derek, it was like you were trying yo offload one of your kids to a new father in law.
I've the G425 for 3 years now and I honestly thought I was a white dot but I'm actually a green,dot.
Plus the dispersion with Ping irons when fitted correctly is unbelievable. I've also got the 105 stiff shafts and all I can say is that with this head and shaft combination, these irons want to be hit well.
I'd love to try these new i530s, but I'm pretty sure a divorce would follow if I were to purchase them..
Great video love all your clips and keep going as your doing a great job in the fitting / golf industry since the early 90's.
See you soon for a chat
Damien ( Naas).
How do you think the Project X IO shafts would fare with these?
Totally agree. I got a set of them at the start of the year and love them.
Play ai smoke but want to go back to ping. These in the same category? Maybe the power spec would be similar?
