I have a set of i5's that manage to wind up in the bag from time to time.
A pretty forgiving iron, just not the best looking.
Hit some BeCu's at a demo day once, those were some sweet sticks!

This is from memory, so I could be off a bit..
- Karsten I, II, III were first
- Eye
- Eye 2
- Eye 2 +no+
- Eye 2 +
- IsI
- IsI K
- ZING
- ZING 2
- Then they started the heads with the oval cavity weight, i3, i3 blade, i3 OS, i3+, i5.....the G series started sometime in there as well. I think the G2 replaced the ZING 2.
This was from WRX back in 2008.

Good info. Thanks, Steve and CP.
Sending my black dot Eye 2+ set back to PING for a bend up to blue and a retumbled/paint fill. Pics when they get back.
The only I’ve tried are Raptures. They are great. Like others, I’ve lusted for Beryllium Copper, but have never hit them.
The longest I played a set of pings about 3 years was the g10s. Also liked g25s
I've been using Ping irons for quite a few years - had a set of S56s (from new) that I used for something like 10 years, and replaced them last year with i210s.
Have G2's that I played a lot this year. Have the G irons that I just got shortened and lie adjusted. Now everyone is doing it. Also had Raptures.
I've never hit a PING iron.
- Edited
Quoted me $118 to shorten, re grip, and alter to Orange Dot for 8 clubs. That's $14.75 per. Don't know if is because I am the registered owner or not. That includes new grips.
