need advice on this one.Playing off hcap 18 at the moment started playing 2yrs ago,looking to purchase a set of the i15 with my local pro who is going to custom fit.Do I go for these irons or are they a off my radar due to my handicap or will they help my game in lowering my hcap,any feedback would be beneficial,thanks all.

they are ridiculously fat (topline). i would say ping have done a bad job here, therefore i would recommend any mizuno set that would be suitable for your game

Think you're on about the G15's Pete

i15's are aimed at the mid-low bracket so you're at the top-end of the level. Having said that, they have a bit of off-set to help square the face and they are pretty forgiving. Topline is thicker than, say, MP52's or the like but its not that bad.
Just because I couldn't hit them for toffee doesn't mean much.
Get fitted and as long as you can hit them you'll have a set that should last you well into single figures.

If your going to a recommended Ping stockist and fitter you have nothing to fear. You'll come out with a set of irons custom fitted by the best custom fit manufacturer bar none.

Enjoy the experience, I know i did.

Don't go in for a fitting for i15's go in for a fitting for Ping's or for that matter a set of golf clubs. If you go in looking for 1 particular set of clubs you could be compromising your game.

If you want a specific manufacturer thats fine, but don't go in for a specific set of clubs especially from Ping because they sell there clubs individually and you could end up with G15 long irons i15 mid irons and S57 short irons. I know that this is probably a bit extreme but you get where I am coming from, you may find some clubs work better for you from different sets.

Just make sure whoever is doing the fitting has a good selection of sets for you to try. Then go out and enjoy your new clubs.

I agree, Pete. Both i15 and G15 are dispointing to look at at address. The i15 3/4 irons have far too much 'junk in trunk' as they say. They often get good reviews however.

Lots of good replies.

I agree. Don't go in with preconceptions

f.w.i.w. I think players off 18 (genuine) are totally able to use clubs designed with less GI features. I used clubs designed for better player from about 20 downwards (to 8) and preffered the smaller heads/soles and less offset.

TonyN has a set of Mp Mizunos and he hit them better than his X-20s from day one. That may have been the C/F helping.

hi thanks for advice with regards to fitment it will be with my local pro at my golf club who is a recognised ping stockist.Does this matter much that it is not a ping main outlet?

I have hit the I15 a lot and I'd say it has the benefit of being one of the more forgiving "lower handicap" clubs. I don't think they look too bad at address and the I15 certainly looks less chunky than the G15. I have always shied away from Ping because of their clunky look but I found the I15 easy to hit with a good trajectory. Even the 3 iron was easy to hit.

If you are going to a Ping fitter then go with an open mind as their are a few models worth looking at. With a shaft thats right for you and the correct lie I think you'd cope with the I15 though
