I found it not letting these get away. That is all

Edited: I had the G400 not the G700 that I didn't like and sent back.

You guys realize I just picked random numbers right? I was referencing the wife thing knowing your doomed in an hour for something.

"160 = 5 hybrid for this geezer."

That USED to be my 160 club. Then I got even OLDER....now the 9 wood is my 160 and the 5 hybrid is the 150.
Thank God they created hybrids and that Hireko came out with new Acer fairway woods that include 7 wood, 9 wood,
11, 13, and even a 15 wood.....I may be a customer for LIFE.....or as long as I keep playing!!

I've got drivers I can hit 160. Not all of them, but some. 😅

Sometimes I hit a SW 160.......2 inches off the ground most of the way........

Not to threadjack,( hollow head, Ping...so it’s close to the g700) but does anyone know why there seems to be no poon in the i500 Ping irons?

I can’t find people other than some YouTube reviewers that have found any poon in them.

Typhoon Yeah they look awesome, but I haven't heard any glowing reviews. A few Ping guys I golf with tried them, but didn't like them; I know one guy got i210 and another the G410 I think. Many of the guys I golf with seem to like the TM P790, but the pro shop pushes TM.

I think it’s the nut that Ping uses with their fitting system. Poon escaped and it’s just gone. I’ve never hit one fully assembled but indoors with the nut, forget it.

As far as “hollow heads” it seems the G700 and i500 are true hollow heads whereas the Taylormade p790 is hollow but filled with foam so it sounds different which translates to “feel”. The i200 are like my ie-1 irons, 431 stainless.

i toyed with the idea of a split set of G700 4,5 and 6 irons and then 7,8,9,P,A in i500. I need to hit them as a solid club. This non-working shit has me bored. I’d see if I could get them bored out and drop the project x shafts I have in them.

The g700 are MASSIVE aside other irons, but especially next to the i500....might consider the g410,s in a combo set.....they are more in line with the g series in the past with a smidge less offset and better looking all around.

Typhoon

You’re right ode, they are massive. In the long irons though I could maybe be fine because I don’t hit much more than a 9 iron unless it’s a par 3 or long par 5. The G700 would be like a fairway wood in my mind, not an iron.

Just spitballing.... winter is gear and crazy thoughts fill our heads when I look downstairs at some unused sets.

Typhoon basically I look at em like driving irons....and they look fine to me, hell I feel confident looking down at em....got my 5i in today and out it next to my Acer XV Pro and was like😲, comparatively it's shocking side by side, but on its own, looks fine

I am contemplating a g700, g410 combo set. Something like 5-6=700, and 7-UW=410. Got all winter to think on it with a 700 5i and 410 6i ... They will see some serious launch monitor time!

I spent 15 minutes hitting a demo G700 7 iron at an outdoor range (Madison Golf Center). My normal 150 club is a 7 iron. I was putting balls around 12 yards (probably more) past the 150 marker. Shots not hit dead center were still going 150+. Even though the 7 iron loft was more like a 6 iron the ball flight was more like an 8 iron. It hits high and long. I couldn't believe how far the ball flew and how easy it was to hit. I just hope I get the same results on the course when my clubs finally arrive.

Stop it. Don't you make me want these. 😀

Hey, geezer, you already had a set of these and sold them.

sdandrea1

Rickochet Hey, geezer, you already had a set of these and sold them.

ummmmm, no. Never owned G700. I had G400, and so did you, but you sent them back.

You are correct. I guess I am the old geezer with shit for brains. ☹️ Oh crap, now I have something new to drool over. 🤯

You were only 300 off... 😉

I'm still a geezer with shit for brains and always drool over PINGs I haven't owned, so we're still brothers. 🤣

One of the reasons I didn't like the G400 being one who likes shovels I thought the G400 7 iron through 4 were getting away from what I considered a traditional Ping shape and were gravitating toward the norm. It's hard to tell by looking at the G700 pics but these looking more "Pingish" to me. It would be interesting to see a side by side comparison of the G400 and G700.

They are good looking sticks and they are now down to $137.50 each in graphite. I like the no-cavity look. My worry is will they look too big at address (my size fetish) and will they be effective cutting through the rough?
