I already own a set of the PING I-3 Clubs. What I was looking for was an additional set. I know this sounds very materialistic, but it was a matter of practicality for me. You see, I have a long commute to Seattle everyday and I leave my golf clubs at home or in the trunk of my car. If the guys find a rare day where the sun somes out, and it is time to golf, I would hate the Idea that I couldn't join in on the fun. So, I decided that I needed an office set. I looked at the Rapture clubs the I5's and the G2 irons fit my budget best. I was able to take my bonus and buy a little something for me. Now for my commentary...The irons were advertised as being in good condition, and other than the wear on the 9 iron, I felt they were in excellent condition. I could tell the previous owner could strike the ball consistently as the sweet spot had a definite distinct area on the 9 iron face....The rest of the clubs didn't have hardly any wear at all. In fact, this further demonstrated I bought these clubs from someone who knew how to strike the ball. My guess is he was pretty long off the tee, and was using a 9 iron for his second shot. (Hardly saw any wear on the 5 iron, for example.) I love the fact that these clubs were not that old, and were pretty similar to ones that I had already owned, and the learning curve on these clubs was amazingly simple...These are very easy to hit irons.Read full review
Ive heard people recommend ping irons for years, but never gave them a try. The G2 irons are great, very forgiving, and easy to hit. Just make sure you know what dots to get and length. One disappointing thing is that ping no longer does work on the G2 irons, they don't have the plates on the back and won't refinish. Overall very happy with my purchase.

First of all, I will say this about Ping Irons. They are consistent which is more than you can say about other irons. This particular model (G2) is about the best Ping Irons I've came across and I've played with literally over 100 sets of Irons in my days just demoing them. Personally, I purchased a set of irons that included the 5I thru LW. 9 Irons total and I couldn't be happier with them. I usually bounce around between sets of irons regularly but these have stayed in my bag for an entire golf season and will probably last through this one as well which is a major accomplishment. Now onto how the Irons play: All of my Irons are equipped with Ping JZ-65 Stiff Steel Shafts and are Blue Dot with standard Loft. The 5 Iron is very easy to hit. Just a tad of an offset which makes it easier to square to ball on your downswing. I consistently carry my 5 Iron around 195-205 yards. The 6 Iron is also easy to hit. Hardly any noticeable offset in this club but still easy to hit for a mid-iron. I usually hit my 6 Iron around 180-185 yards. The 7 Iron is probably the second best Iron in my set. Very nice trajectory and plenty of bite on the greens from 165 and in. I can easily work this iron and hit a nice knock down or step it up and hit a nice high draw into the green. I usually mark the 7 Iron of every set as the benchmark. The G2 7 Iron is one of the best if not the best I've played with. Its consistency, forgiveness and playability make you a better golfer. To be honest, I don't hit my 8 Iron much in rounds but I'm consistent with it on the range. I would rather hit a knock down or 3/4 shot with my 7 Iron. The 9 Iron is another nice addition to the set but I would rank it as the worst Iron in my set as well. I've hit some ballooners with this club as well as some fatties which only happens with this iron for some reason. I generally don't hit it much on the course as I would rather amp my PW than hit my 9I. The PW is the best iron in this set hands down, at least for me. I am deadly from 120 and in with my PW. You can do it all with this club. High, soft landings to low darts to fades to draws. I can amp my PW and hit it consistently between 135-140, but prefer to swing smooth and get 120 or so. I even chip with my PW at times and I've always used a 60* wedge around the green but I can get a good bite or check-up with my PW. If you play at a course that's Driver-Wedge on several holes, you'll have a hard time finding a better PW than this one, trust me, I would know. The 52* UW or Gap Wedge is a nice addition to the set. It doesn't hit those nice high shots like the PW, but its still consistent. The 56* SW is also consistent with a nice high ball flight and plenty of spin around the greens. The 60* LW is great from 50 or so in and around the greens. I can hit a flop or push my hands forward and hit a hard check-up with this iron and feel comfortable doing either. Probably the 3rd best Iron in the set in my opinion. There you have it, my review of the Ping G2 Iron set. I would recommend going to Ping's website and getting a static fit to make sure your purchasing the right set of Ping's, but you'll be hard pressed to find a better set than this one. The G2's easily beat out the S59's and the G5's for me. All were consistent, but the G2's gave me more forgiveness when I needed it. I went from a 8.5 handicap to a 4.5 handicap with these Irons.Read full review
These clubs can be great for you if you buy the right ones fit for you. Ping helps to make this easier, especially for you folks buying on Ebay, and not in a store. I did the static fit on Ping.com and previously had a local professional fit me dynamically. Because of this, I found the perfect match for me and I'm not afraid to buy them online. The website even tells you which shaft to go with if you know how far you typically hit your 6 iron. I found that by working on tempo and not trying to kill the ball, I am able to gain considerable distance and accuracy over my old irons (Titleist DCI 990) just by using these clubs and slowing it down a bit. When you buy the proper length and lie, you will be amazed at how much better you strike the ball. My point is this; get a solid fitting in before you buy any irons. They might be a good deal, but there is a reason Ping fits you to the club. About the Ping irons. These irons play well. I found it easy to shape shots from right to left. It was a bit more difficult left to right, but I've never been able to do that well anyhow. Because I was able to let the club hit the ball and control my tempo better, the ball flight is consistent and the carry is, too. My accuracy has increased dramatically, as well. Especially from the 8 iron down to the pitching wedge. The shot trajectory is much higher and softer landing with these and I don't get a lot of roll. Again, especially from the 8 iron down. I attribute a lot of the improvements to the change in my tempo, but I give the Pings the credit for helping me change the tempo of my swing and really feel what I am doing with the shot more than that of other irons I have hit. Mishits are not so bad either. You really have to shank the ball or leave the clubface open to mess a shot up with these. Expect to pay more for the various graphite shafts. The Ping custom WRX clubs are usually more as well. If you find a set of Pingss with a matching sand wedge, jump on them because the sand wedges are hard to find individually. A lot of times, the owners name has been applied to the club. I found you can get this off easily with acetone and light sandpaper if it is screened in and not etched. You might ask the seller when this is listed this way. In addition, if you are not very good at the long irons (2,3, and 4) you may want to look at the G5 hybrids. I have them too. If you hit the ball hard, but typically slice or hook, the hybrids dramatically reduce the mishit effect. Be careful when bidding. There are some demo clubs floating around out there. Check with the seller for serial numbers as all Ping consumer clubs have them. Pay attention to feedback scores. This is Ebay's barometer of service. I swear by the feedback system. I hope you found this info helpful.Read full review
