Interesting.....but also not pretty

Actually from the pics of the top line and face size they remind me of my ie-1 irons. I want to see the actual size in person but I love seeing game improvement irons that look like a player's iron at address.

The rat bitten hosel has been tried before and it sucked, and this is no different.

Stop hitting them off the hosel Spuzz!😁

That's the least part of the club I look at.

What is the point of that feature? To allow the lie angle to be bent more easily? To allow the heads to adjust slowly over time with contact to range mats?

Typhoon Yeah I need forgiveness in a iron, but I hate when they look really big and have lots of offset. I had brief affairs with i5 and i20 irons and they were decent looking at address IMO. I actually wish my Apex Pros looked a little larger at address although they are pretty forgiving.

I’ll be demo’ing them this spring.

G400 irons still have enough poon to stay in my bag. They are quite a bit smaller than the G30 and G and look like a players club at address. I need to see the G410 in person and hold them next to a G400.

No idea.
Maybe an anti-adjustment feature? I'd be afraid to touch it.

I don't know what spuzz thinks sucked about it, but it's supposed to help through turf/rough and keep the head from twisting, I think.

I believe that's it. My G15's and G's had it also. Ping actually bends them with a rubber type material hammer. Pretty much low tech.

Ahhhh, finally a set of irons that will be in every bag I see on course! And imma def getting me some ASAP...…

It will appeal to a very wide range of golfers as it produces faster ball speeds, maximum forgiveness and amazing feel with a pleasing appearance — all the attributes they need to hit their iron shots higher, farther and straighter.

Cannot believe designers have not done this before.🤔
Life changing, not just game changing!!

They just cut and paste the iron qualities every year for the next set of irons.

Looks like shit to me.
and if what sneaky said is true, looks even cheaper to me.
maybe Ping needs this feature to bend their irons since they are made from superman steel
LOL

Yuk! Looks like a DTG head, way too busy.

Seems like the chunk missing from the hosel might also allow for the center of gravity to be slightly farther away without all the manipulation to do so being in the blade. I don't think it is very pleasing to the eye, but by now its an iconic Ping feature.

Bigborgel I kind of thought the same thing. Definitely different for Ping. Maybe it's an attempt to reach customers that are normally outside the fanboys (I'm kind of becoming one after playing Raptures, which kind of have their own share of bling, last year). As for me, I don't think my next iron change will come until I think I need to transition from regular to senior flex, which I hope is still several years in the future.

gawddam...that just ain't right.

I'm happy with my G400's so won't entertain a change. I traded in my G's, but still have my G15's. My best round (par 71) on my home course was with the G15's. Have had a couple of 74's with the G400's. Have shot several crappy rounds as well with both. Shot an 87 last Friday with the G400's.

That rat-bitten hosel is so familiar to me now, other clubs look weird.
