Pete, that was one of the best reviews I've ever seen.
thanks Lee, took a long time to edit haha
Lee ist absolutely right. One of the best, if not the best, review I've ever watched. PLEASE, give us more of it. I would really like to see a review about the callaway apex cf 16 vs. xr pro vs. xr.

Excellent review. Just one quibble about something I notice in a lot of these comparisons. The dispersion difference between iBlade and G is partly a function of distance. The longer a club flies, the more pronounced the imperfections of strike (and variables like wind) will be. So given the small differences here, I think you could argue that the iBlade and G were actually equally accurate. If the G had only flown as far as the iBlade, its dispersion circle would have been correspondingly smaller, or if the iBlade had flown as far as the G, its dispersion circle would have grown larger.
Interesting review. Start of last season I went for a fitting looking for more forgiving clubs than my previous ones (Miura 501). I was convinced I needed i25 or even g30 but ended up getting best results with the s55. A bit like your comparison here between the iBlade and the I iron. I think it partly comes down to looks and feel/sound. Other clubs were a lot longer than the s55 but they give me consistency, know your distances and it doesn't matter what the number is on the bottom!
It's 2018, and I just purchased the g-irons today. Absolutely loved the feel.
Ben Harris hows the spin ben ?
ThePismokook I haven't had any issues holding greens. My ball is usually right next to the divot depending on how firm the greens are.
One of your best vids! I went from the G25 irons to the
G Max. In retro, I would have moved into the G irons I think. Never imagined they would bring out another line of irons so quickly! By the time I get the golf budget built back up, the G's might be available as an affordable used set. Pete, I am a bit confused when you (and Rick) talk about better players not being interested in the type of added distance that stronger lofted, longer shafted clubs can provide. For me, I would feel much more comfortable and confident with an 8 iron than a 7, or a 7 iron than a 6 etc. One trip to the range and one round seems like all the adjustment time I would need.
Great video! I do have a question because it seems the I iron has a worse dispersion than the G as well as being shorter. I get that the I blade is great for predictable yardages, trajectory, and left/right flight, but I also read the amount of tungsten makes its moi the same as the I iron... So,.. what does the I iron have to hang its hat on besides aesthetics? Given the forgiveness is the same as the I blade while providing better workability and the G is a tighter grouping and longer for the casual player who doesn't mind a straight ball with a high trajectory. Sorry for being wordy
I'm a 14 handicap and I have the G irons and find them a great iron and they have helped me get my handicap down but have to say I tried the iblade and struck that lovely I loved the look and I even managed to shape a draw which I struggle with on the G irons so I'm taking a few lessons to get my swing and consistency better and then next year I'm going to look to change to the iblades, I already use the ping glide wedges so it won't be a shock to me to see that shape club behind the ball.
Very nice video Pete. I really liked how you added music behind you hitting the shots and then talked about it after.
cheers Ryan
I got the new g irons a few weeks ago. Love em, but getting used to the distance is taking some time. Played the i3+ for years and had a tear in my eye when I put them up. This is a great review, and just makes me feel better that I made the right choice. Great job Pete.
Thank you for your excellent comparisons. I am now using the G irons and know why I love them. Have been waiting for you to do the comparisons and was not disappointed. Thank you. Wish you would do more. Again thank you.
no worries Jesse, thank you for watching
great review. Peter Finch and Rick Shiels are the best reviewers on UA-cam ive seen. Always informative and passionate. As a mid handicapper I'm likely to buy the G. Great feel and balance.
I will accept all the help I can get. So went for the G range of irons, playing of hcp 4. I still think it's quite easy to shape the ball still, but those of center hits I still hit, is just sooo much better with the G range.Regarding the distance, I really don't care how far my 7 iron goes, as long as I know the exact distance!Great video Pete, and good to see you hitting balls again! Cheers from Denmark.
this is the best video you or rick have ever posted!!! please do this more, either more manufacturers or other clubs!!! +100 thumbs up
thanks Robert
great video as always Pete.
Thank you for not being the guy who says "FIRST"
cheers Stuart
haha
great review thanks as a mid handicapper and looking to treat myself to new irons next birthday (feb 2017) after seeing
tons of reviews the G iron looks favourite, i' saw them in a pro shop the other week and he was singing their praises, in the flesh they didn't look too clunky either
they are very good for sure
Hi Pete,
Great video. I would love more of this kind to compare new clubs vs old ones.
I have also asked you and Rick questions regarding difference between FW, hybrids and driving irons with same loft. What difference in length, ball flight etc to expect and what is your tip to use which kind of club?
Best regards,
Chung
Awesome video Pete!! I look up to your great and happy attitude and respect so much how much hard work you put into your videos and your game! Keep it up.
cheers Drew :)
Love that swing of yours....
Great comparison. You mentioned they were all in the x stiff shaft. Do you think the numbers would change much if they were in a stiff or regular shaft? Or is the x stiff just catered to your type of swing?
Great video Pete, the blades look good, hate the look of the G irons, I play with the g30 irons which l love, which cost more money than the G irons 3 months ago. Most consistent distance I have ever had. I wish Ping would stay true to themselves, instead of trying to tart up their new irons. Glad to see you back playing, thanks again.
One more excellent review, Pete...thanks for keeping us informed...always appreciate your opinions...
Thanks Kenneth
Great review I been playing an old set of Pings just bought the IBlades & G30 irons( Huge Discount ) I went out to the driving to see how each set played and I'm getting the same results as yourself. However I'm not sure if the fitter( big box golf store)got it right on my IBlades 7 iron I'm going back to the club today to get an Expert fitter to refit me. I'm not a pro but the IBlades look great and I'm hitting straight except for that 7 iron but in still having fun
Good review Pete.
I've been eagerly awaiting the I blade since the pros bagged them back in May. I've tried them,I want them,but having been quoted £130 per club then I will not be buying them. Post brexit exchange rates or corporate greed? Keep up the good work.
Great review Pete good knowledge, continue with the reviews. How about the Titliest ap1 & ap2 716.
Great comparison video. Pete should do more of these club review vids. Always appreciate more opinions on clubs.
I'll do some every now and again
Great video! I love the tempo and takeaway in your swing.
thank you
have the i series project x 120. very consistent carry and spin numbers. highly recommended for a single digit handicap or a good ball striker!
If you spend a lot of time on the range you'll wear down the grooves of a forged face a lot faster than a stainless steel face which I believe the Pings have.
Another great video Pete ,great test
cheers Tommie
Great video as always keep it up Pete
Brilliant review. I am sure Ping would be pleased to see the outcome.
Love the review pete. What is the hitting mat your using?
Great review as usual. Would be interested in a review of clubs based on loft. So maybe compare a 6 iron vs. a 7 iron if the loft is similar. I think it would be more of a fair comparison of technology and not primarily loft.
Peter as someone who has always hit forged how do the I Blades feel? I hit one very briefly on a simulator and it felt okay but the balls were rubbish. Cast clubs have come a long way but a flushed forged club shot compared to a flushed cast shot with a quality ball still hasn't quite compared for me yet. The I Blade I have heard is very close. I noticed that your spin rates were kind of wacky with the I Blade as well. The G actually seemed to have the best spin rates. Enjoy your VLOGs always looking forward to the testing. Cheers.
Good review Peter, enjoyed ..
Tried the iBlades today, and they felt awesome next years irons!!👌
I am a proud owner of the g iron due to your review and have already shaved a stroke off my handicap, thanks! 16.8 down to 15.9... :-)
Great video Pete, just one question. What do you think of the Ping i3+ bladed irons with a stiff shaft white dot? any thoughts would be appreciated.
Great video, can't wait to try out the new iBlade.
Hi Pete, what a great looking club the i blades are. I play the i 25 and just love them but in your opinion how does the new i range compare?
Were the shafts exactly the same - brand, flex, length, etc?
And the standard lofts on each of these clubs is different, especially the iBlade with a 31-degree 6-iron, etc
hi pete i use the i iron i was 18 handicap when i bought them in april now 15, i moved up from g20 you have to work a bit harder with i iron but nice to play with
Enjoyed the review you should do more of them. If I ever get the money together would like to look at ping irons, my mizuno's are probably 12 yrs old now!
I love the look of the new iBlades. Perhaps a test at the golf simulator is in order?
Pete I can decide between the g30 irons and the g iron. Is there really that much of a difference or have they just cranked up the lofts more
Great review. I'm amazed how close the I blade performance is to the I cavity club. Will give both a hit as I am looking for a new set of irons. Will you be testing the new Z series Srixon irons?
I've hit the Z Irons already and like them very much
Such a smooth swing!
played the ping I for a few months, and thought it was the nicest ping iron I have played to date. would like to try the new I blade, they are gorgeous
well worth a go
Peter, do you recall which shafts/flex you used when doing this test?
i wonder what apple have to say about the name? excellent review peter
Very good comparison of clubs Pete.
thank you
great video! keep em coming man
will do
Great review Pete,Rick will be getting worried!!.
Hi Pete. Can compare more clubs to each other? Ping G vs Callaway Apex, TaylorMade PSI Tour vs Titleist AP2 or CB ect.
Ping G does not belong in this group AT ALL
I may do some more going forward
+Peter Finch Golf thanks, but these comparisons help us a lot to find the right club. Well done! Would love to see this for the other manufacturers.
I play ping i25s and love them, forgiving and very easy to work. However the iblades are stunning. I wonder if a combo set of I iron from 4-6 and iblades 7-w would work as not too sure how well I would constantly strike the higher end of the iblades. This may mess up the gapping between clubs due to loft differences but I suppose they could always be altered slightly. I just reckon the iblades would look sexy in the bag. 11 hcp ping loyal
certainly Ping would have no issue in combo sets, the G Iron in the longer clubs are awesome
I have played TM all my days but very interested In the I Blade
Havent tried but those iBlade irons look amazing. I think that my game would be more suited for the iIrons since i game the MP-H4s
Which Iron is best suited for a sweeper of the ball - even though I am a 6 hdc
Sound quite low on this video, had to crank up the volume compared to other youtube videos. Otherwise another excellent video from Pete.
Perfect video, I have a G iron set and an iBlade/iE1 combo set. Hah!!
i really did like the feel of the iblade and i think this would be a really good club to look at for a players club i also found it very forgiving for a bladed club
I like the review overall but I would love a little bit more, hit a draw/fade ie more workable, flight it down, iBlade is pretty strong makes the iIron seem a little redundant.
Yikes, you look like Crossfield and Shiels had a baby. Great video as always.
Good comparison Pete. I have a friend he is a very good player with a +4 handicap and sponsored by ping. But the surprising thing is he is using the G irons which to me and probably a lot of people considering I have never seen him miss hit anything and he doesn't need any more distance but he just doesn't like blades. Personally I love blades but he just doesn't get what you are gaining from a bladed iron especially the tech that goes into cavity backs to make them feel nearly as good as a blade.
Why not use the normal i iron?
+Cornwall1888 to be honest I don't know ill have to ask him
+Kian Taylor I have ping g25's they're very hard not to hit straight shaping is tough I'd expect a +4 guy to want clubs that are easier to shape
+Cornwall1888 he hits the ball very high with so much spin it's like the ball goes straight up in the air towards its apex so that helps with shaping the ball. I was at the range with him the other day and he had no trouble shaping the ball both ways on the the practice flags he even hit one about 190 yards away with his 5 iron one with a fade and one just a dead straight shot and the sound he makes with his clubs is just amazing
you do have examples of good players liking the look and feel of a cavity iron, Lee Westwood is a good example
aha your garage must be heaven Pete
Its almost 3 years later from the time of this video. What is in your bag now?
Will you be gaming these over the PSI Tours? You played the s56 for ages!
I think the PSI are still my iron for a while
what was going on with the iblade spin numbers?
The ping s59's were and still are probably the best iron I've ever hit. I WANT THESE!!
great review
ta
Interesting that length and forgiveness are not as important as looks.
depends what you are looking for
great vid
cheers Murray
Nice. What's the max SM for a 6--7-6 iron ? because i saw a track man screen where Stenson got a Sm of 1.43 with a 6i!!
The legal limits mean a 1.5 is technically the limit for all clubs so that is the maximum potential but ost tour pro's will be high 1.3 getting into the 1.4 area
Very interesting the variations in lofts. Ping and I'm sure the other manufacturers use this to enable distance vs. feel. So much has to do with the consistency of the swing. If you are able to consistently put the clubhead on the ball first with an iron you will have success with any iron. It is then that the feel and workability of the club comes into consideration. Thanks for documenting the differing clubs side by side and the differing lofts as it clears up a lot about each technology.
Ping Irons are the best irons I have ever used! They helped me drop from a 32 handicap to a 13! In less than a year.
I wouldn't give all the credit to your irons. The right club can definitely give you confidence, but dedication to get better is what really helped you drop the handicap. Great work!
Thank you David Labbe that is true. Definitely worked hard to get better and the irons did give exceptional confidence and forgiveness.
Great and very interesting video! Bladed club are said to be more workability and more accuracy clubs. However you need maybe 6 i blade iron to get the same distance like 7 G iron. Shorter club and more control maybe? Can´t you hit draw and fades with G iron? Offcource you can play which club you like but what is real difference in workability and accuracy with same distance? You are swinging like robot, so you can test this very easy ;-)
thinking of switching to the G irons Pete....yay or nay?
nay for me, I can't control the flight (high,low) as well as my PSI Irons
how bout them iblades then?
I love the way the Iblades look. Wish I was good enough to game those. I have a question for ya Pete. I have a M2 4 iron set to 17 degrees loft and I have a UDI 3 iron set to 20 degrees loft. Would the UDI iron still travel father. Both are standard length and lie. Thanks
I imagine the M2 will travel further to be honest, you could end up have a good reverse gapping
THANKS Pete. I was was looking for a 2 iron to use off the tee. TM no longer makes UDI 1 or 2 irons so I had them make me a custom M2 4 iron 2 degrees stronger. I bought a UDI 3 iron off ebay thinking it would have a heavier head and a little bit longer shaft. Love those Ping Iblades. Ping will be my next set of irons being I'm from Arizona and they are made here. Thanks again Pete.
is the g iron the same forgiveness as the g20 iron?
yeah
you'll only know by testing
Curious.. why does your spin go from nearly 8000 down to 1500? most of us could do that hitting a ball with a rubber boot. Maybe just a Ping hater.. p.s. love your vids, I'm still going to watch lol.
Are you thinking of taking the iBlades for a trial spin in your bag?
don't think so I still love the psi tours
The spin for the last two iBlade can't be right?
I saw that also. 2K revs for a 7-iron?!
I think that can happend where you fat your shot on a synthetic
Okay. Didn't know that.
certainly the last one is very low spinning, could have been a slightly dodgy ball
Golf reviewers need crash courses in standard deviation.
Always see them talking about differences which are within expected variances.
GMax?
I have the G's got them a month ago and I love hitting them, I'm a higher handicapper and the one thing they give me is confidents at address - love them :-) and my they are long......
vs those 2 irons lol
the G is longer AND tighter than the I... I found the same thing
I would plump for the G over the I
Hi pete would love it if you replied.
Massive fan
replied :)
thanks pete much appreciated :)
To be honest there is hardly a difference between the I and I blade
Ping do make some ugly clubs. Same goes for the iBlade. :/
Am I the only one who really doesn't like the look of them? Also the name "Iblade" is shit.
"Eye Blades" might have sounded a little threatening.
aha your garage must be heaven Pete
