It sure looks like the hybrid of Taylormade plus a little Srixon/Bridgstone, and maybe a little Mizuno ?

Steve are you paying attention ?

RAC clones........nice eye candy!! Does this mean the ie1 is discounted now?

Those babies might look good in my bag. Might even play nicely.

We have a PING fitting in late Feb. Hmmmm, nice birthday present. ;-)

New G30 irons are still available at $87.50 per club in graphite......hmmmmm.....

    Bargain buy. I may have to try those too.

    What do you think of the G30 versus the G ... ? (you being the PING whisperer)

        Eguller

        The G iron is a "modern" version of the G30 with welded on hot faces, thinner topline, stronger lofts and fucking ugly ferrules. They make that weird click and don't feel as solid as the older G series. The G is a very good performer by the way, but not as pretty in looks or feel of the G25/30 imho.

            Oh God....those look waaay to nice. Looks like a cross between the s 55 and the i25.

            I love my Ie-1's....but it's the shaft right? I like mine better now with the heads tumbled so the finish is more s55-like but damn.... If the face looks like an s55 and it has the playability of the ie1...and 431 stainless... my mind will be in turmoil.

              Ooh...someone hit a sensitive spot! Hahahaha.

              Personally, the G30 blade length looks like a hockey stick. The G irons...I played them in Florida...head and shoulders over the G30 as far as Looks. I had no issues with playability and the felt fine, not clicky for me.

                  I like the finish, assumimg they are the follow up to the ie1. What they look like at address?

                  Typhoon Ooh...someone hit a sensitive spot! Hahahaha.

                  PING irons should NOT have ferrules................it just isn't right. 😉

                    Loving the G's. I also loved the G30's too, which is why I still have 'em.

                    Aside from the looks and maybe a few additional yards with the G's, there's not a whole lotta difference between the two imo.

                    That's the downside for PING, I guess. You could go back a dozen years to the G5 series back in '05, which were great irons for me, and there's not a tremendous difference in performance. They don't reinvent the wheel because they've never needed to.

                    But of course - we're talking more game-improvement versus player's clubs. I'm sure there's been some additional performance to go along with the cosmetics in their i-series models since then.

                    IMO ping g series ranks up there as one of the best of all time....Gotta be the longest running series...

                    Now Taylormade M2 Tour irons 4-AW is $599, from full retail of $999. I wonder if M3 are coming out soon.

                      sdandrea1 or M2.1

                      If they go 2.x something, which will mean it's not a whole of of difference, sometime just the graphic theme/
                      Wait for the the whole new number of letter change signifying real departure from previous model.

                        Release

                        True...I'll be hitting them as soon as they come out...and scheming to get them if the faces look as good as the cavities.
