I always felt I needed a more upright iron, and to actually use a club for a number of days instead of an hour on "DEMO" day seemed to be a much better test. Of course PING has always been one of the premier irons and their quality control is second to none so I bought the DEMO club for a true test. The five degrees upright for my tall frame ( 6'4" ) and shorter arms is just what the Doctor ordered as the iron fit me perfectly. I am a lower HDC, (2.4) and I found that hitting this club was easier than my older set of irons and that there were more solid shots than I expected. Golf became more fun again, and if you are a golfer you know what I mean when you hit it more solid more often.....it was more like play instead of work. I'm sure you have felt, sometimes golf can just be tough and to fight your irons while you are trying to have fun, well it's just NOT that fun. The outcome was this, I liked the set-up so well that I bought a set of PING IRONS on ebay that had these specs and have played with them and have been more than pleased. Ping has a fitting chart at many golf stores that would give you a good indication what "LIE" you mjay need ( color coded dots ) and length. I'd then recommend to go back to ebay find that same demo club ( they have a lot of different ones ) get it for your self, pound some balls on a few different days and see if that is the club for you.....then go forth and have fun again with a full set of irons.

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 chnge 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. 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
As is the norm for Ping Irons, very hard steel gives the club a somewhat harsh feel, but the shot results make that feel acceptable. Very forgiving on off-center hits with consistent results on solid contact. Great club unless you insist on a soft, buttery feel. Mike, Florida Age 69, 8 hdcp.

I am playing only with irons. The Ping i3 iron is an easy to play club. Its rigidity is in perfect balance (no slice nor hooks). The weight of the head helps average players (like me) to gain distance and straighteness. I my view, the only other iron club that could compete with it is the Calaway. It comes close but still The Ping performance is better.
I purchased this because I broke the shaft of my 7 iron. It was cheaper to buy a matching one off ebay than it was to get a new shaft put in my club. I have had the ping i3+ irons for nearly 10 years and they have treated me well. Will definitely look to ping first when I feel like I need new irons again.
