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.

            G25 still in the bag but I'm due...............

            I'm liking the performance of the Callaway XR Steelheads but ....... I love those pings! What to do? What to do?

              If the G25s fit you and your game well, they will be hard to beat......................then again, if you are a hopeless slutty ho like me, get some new sticks just because they're new. 8*)

                Looks like Ping is joining the faster cycle game for the golf equipment race.
                The leader is trying to bail out after ruining everyone's pace.

                BTW one of my friend is finally ready to part with his G10, think it was red dot, don;t have all the detail yet, he is in California vacationing in the rain, well, I guess it;s better than freezing rain up here.

                I was never a Ping fan. I always agreed that they were good performing clubs. I just couldn't get over the looks of them. They didn't look finished yet. My playing partner in league disagrees though, he still plays his Ping Zings. I just never thought Ping would stoop to knockoff's... (Sorry Steve).

                  I am a nostalgic PING fan. When they moved to off-shore foundries and ferruled irons I have been pouting. Still a good company but not the great company they once were, IMHO. I still have a set of Eye 2 irons and a Craz-E putter but the old glory days of PING are over. They still hold their prices and don't introduce new models on a frantic pace, but I fear those days may be coming.

                      Most recently is was a two year cycle. Now they have moved to app 18 months.

                        Yeah noticing that with the iblade and now this. Seems like my ie-1 irons along with the G series irons were new.
