Ping i10 irons vs i15 irons

[TheTrueReview]

I was poking around a pro shop the other day & had a look at the i10 & i15 irons.

I noticed something weird. The i15 irons look a lot wider at the bottom than the i10s - more like game improvement than player's club. If I was looking for a set of Ping irons (I'm not), I would definitely look at the i10s before the i15s.

Does anyone have a clue why Ping chose to seemingly make the i15 iron more like one of its g-line?

Because everyone complained that the i10's were
a) too hard to hit &
b) that the s line at the time (s57?) was easier hit & therefore
c) was not a good fit between the s & g i.e. not enough product differentiation.

One look at the i15's will tell you that they fit nicely between the s and the g line, a nice mix of both. i10's never sold that well but i15's have sold well.

I like the progressive heal-toe length and other stuff (progressive offset, blah blah) that the i15s have. Forgiveness in the long irons but better looking and feeling short irons.

I like the progressive heal-toe length and ...

Go old school, i3's!:mrgreen:

You want super retro, how bout a set of original Ping Eyes, or better still, tho slightly later, the ones that had some serious clubhouse brag factor, a set of BeCu Ping eye2's..

speaking of the i3, I Wish I'd never sold my WRX i3 irons..

Just for a bit of fun I picked up an i10 8 iron the other day and hit half a dozen shots, they flew really pretty, so much so I'm now seriously considering a set of em.

Had a look at the i15 too, and for some reason all I could think of was the Ping Rapture rebadged..

As i said, i3's!

[simmsy]

i5's anyone?

Apparently the World No. 1 is still using the i10 irons. Lee Westwood WITB (http://leewestwood.com/in-the-bag.html)

I wish I had kept my i10s. They remind me of the i3s. I have the s58s which are close in profile.

Not too keen on the wider soled clubs.

Now that he us #1, aren't his clubs forged by Miura, Maruman and then like and the rebadged to look like Pings.

My I'10's are going to the substitutes bench as soon a suitable replacement is found, just can't find any consistency with them
