Description In the design of the i15 iron, PING engineers focused on the better player who prefers an iron set that offers the control to play a variety of shots. Created as a progressive set, the longer irons are larger for more forgiveness. The mid- and short-irons are smaller to ensure workability and control on approach shots.

Summary: These are not the longest irons (high ball flight with graphite shafts)- but They are very accurate and have amazingly consistent distance control. The short irons are deadly accurate, especially the "U" wedge. The finish is durable and looks good in the bag. These are PERFECT for players who hit it well- and don't mind admitting that they need a little help on toe hits or thinned shots from time to time. Having played all types of clubs over the years, I have found that every club feels good when you pure it, and every club gives you feedback of some sort if you miss it. Those "scratch" posters who drone on about needing feedback... why? If you pure it every time you shouldn't need feedback. If you call these clubs sloppy or harsh then you must have mis-hit a few.. so which one is it? Most 15 HC and down could handle these clubs just fine- and as it is with all clubs: if they work for you, that is all that matters.
Customer Service: good- small delay in getting one club- but shipped to rural area quickly
Summary: I have just recently started playing again after a 2 year absence and was having trouble hitting my Mizuno forged irons consistently. So I went out looking for something a bit easier to hit that would still suit me after I get back up to speed(used to be a 6 handicap). These clubs were recommended to me by the local golf shop, and it was a great recommendation. I have hit these irons beyond my expectations since the first time I stepped on the course with them.
I shot a respectable 86 my first time out with these irons in spite of missing nearly every fairway all day long. And in spite of missing a lot of greens as well. Not because I wasn't hitting my irons well, but because I was hitting them 5-10 yards longer than I'm accustomed to and was missing greens long. Now that I am getting used to the yardage that I'm hitting these irons, I'm making more greens than I have in a long time. Even mis-hits go fairly straight and don't lose much distance. And there is still enough feedback to feel where I hit the ball on the clubface, without being painful. In one case in particular, I hit a 3 iron badly off the toe and was surprised to find that it still went 185 and barely missed the right side of the green. With my Mizunos, a mis-hit of that magnitude would have went maybe 170 and MUCH farther right, and would have been painful as well.
All in all, I couldn't be happier with these irons. They're long, straight(while still having some workability), and have good feedback without being harsh. I would highly recommend these to the mid to low handicap player who wants something fairly easy to hit well but doesn't want a lot of offset. And now that the price has been lowered on these they are a good value as well.
Customer Service: Haven't used.

Summary: I would love to review my new clubs, but after ordering them on April 20th, I still haven't received them. I called PING, got the runaround, someting about the wedges being backordered. If you need new irons quick, go with a different barand.
Hey Moron...you don't rate a club based on the manufacturer screwing up your order. This is a club review section. Review the clubs once you receive them and maybe in the review you could mention the problem with Ping. They are normally the best with customers. You were probably a pain in the arse.

Summary: At the start of the year I played off a 22 handicap. I was striking the ball well and reasonable straight and I decided the reason i wasnt going down was because my clubs werent good enough. I had an old set of mizuno blades which were nice but not good enough. I decided to have a custom fitting and i have never really liked pings but these just felt lovely!! they have over halved my handicap to 10 and added a huge amount of distance to my game. I love the penertrating ball flight and superb distance (9 iron 160) a tad on the expensive side but well worth it :-) extrememly happy golfer!!
Customer Service: Pretty Good
