Review Abstract "You'll get dead-on targets, even from a mis-hit" with this "great feeling iron." "Forgiving," "consistently straight," "long," "nice control," and "good offset," this Karsten "can average two to three shots better" "for the mid to high handicappers." "If you're a low handicap hitter or competitor, it's horribly overpriced." It also is "highly recommended to get a proper club fitting."
Summary: I love these clubs. I got them as a gift when my brother in law told my wife someone had just returned a great set of clubs to the pro shop and she should pick them up for me for an X-mas present.
Even though I do not play a ton of golf and really am still pretty inconsistent, I feel like these clubs just have a great feel to them, besides looking pretty cool.
When I do slow down and concentrate I hit these clubs pretty straight and suprisingly long.
Customer Service: My one question is whether playing with the blue dot clubs (which is what I have) makes that much of a difference if I should be actually playing white dot (based on static fitting I did on the Ping Site). I love these clubs what to make sure I should continue playing with them now that I have time to put some real time into my game...
Summary: 15 years ago or so, I drooled over the Ping becu ISI's but as a college student could not swing the price tag so I settled for "Z-Model" ping knock offs instead. I loved those clubs, but still secretly longed for the real thing. Last year I bought Ping G 10's and... meh... okay they were fine but still, I missed the old clubs. Well, nostalgia set in last month as I was on this very forum reading about the copper ISI's. My money scenario has drastically improved since college. Reading what you folks wrote about what I already knew of these clubs encouraged me to look on Ebay to, you know... just see if there were perhaps some green dot becu ISI's for sale. I nabbed them for $300!
I just got back from playing Blackhorse here in Seaside, CA and I easily broke 90 with these clubs! (87 actually.. and it could have been 85 if I hadn't choked in the sand).
I am telling you there is a huge difference in feel, feedback, accuracy with these. I marveled about why in the world Ping would have strayed so far away from this design. It's perfect. The clubs are perfect. Feel, so soft. The ball just jumps up and goes where you hit it. I was even able to work a couple of shots left to right with them.
I am so glad I read the posts here about these irons. So glad I picked these up... I am definitely selling my G 10's.
Thanks for reading!

Summary: Had not swung a golf club for two years, but my profession necessitated I get into the game again. Picked up a used 3-SW set for $225 and hit the driving range. Three words described the majority of my shots on the range: Long, High, Straight.
A great set of clubs indeed, and a great value!

Summary: I can't say enough good things about these irons. They are LONG, forgiving and very workable. Also the softy feel of the becu is outstanding. I hit my 7 iron 180 with these and 168 with my eye2's. I will be very sad when I wear these clubs out. If I could find a NOS set in the right lie, I would snatch them up and save for when the set I now have is used up.

Summary: This is one of the greatest irons that I have ever played. Extremely accurate and workable, and good feedback with mis-hits..and there is MUCH more forgiveness with Mis-hits!!!. These also hit much longer than my other irons (Zing 2's)and I am a Ping guy. Thus far these are the best Ping iron (VERY closely followed by Zing 2)that I have hit....especially when you pure it...The ISI has taken a few strokes off my game as well...Give them a try!!!
Customer Service: Best in the business. Excellent in my dealings with them!!!!
