Just a point in terms of the test. Suspect the i59 was better as a grouping as by that point you had the benefit of having already hit a dozen shots to the same point. For me the i230 is the way forward! Could well be knocking the MP20-MB’s out of the bag!
Got a fitting last month, I was completely blown away by just how good a golf club could feel after hitting i230s with a fitted shaft. Bonkers consistency, I hadn't realized that the game improvements I'd always played were creating the fliers that I keep seeing while I'm playing, I always thought it was me being inconsistent with my power... but then the i230s just hit the yardage every time for me like clockwork on top of feeling and sounding great. I'm seriously excited for when they get delivered at the end of the month, would recommend checking them out!
I230 is absolutely incredible. But so is the Srixon ZX5/7 line. I have some i59s coming next week which are out of my league as a 10 to 12 trending down but they are my dream set.
Things of beauty all three of those, Paul. I'd be delighted to put any of those in the bag but I'm not good enough to play the i59. I've tried the i525 and my dispersion was great but strong lofts were quite apparent in the yardages. I noticed that you're trying out some funky new graphics in the opening sequence. Very nice 👌 If you do come down to Gainsborough gimme a shout.
Cheers Kev. They performed as good as they looks. Yep new graphics. I recently had a comment from someone criticising my “80s style montage intro”. That wasn’t the reason I changed it, I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but what a daft thing for someone to comment on…
@@GolfShow That was clearly a piss take Paul. 'Bob' joined RUclips 2nd of December this year and you posted 112 on the 28th November, I think? Obviously one of your mates pulling your leg with that specific comment?
The feel of the i230 is just 😍, it does spin more than the others so if you are spinny like me then you may need to get creative with what shaft you hook up with...
Hi Neo. Thanks for commenting. I agree so Ping fitted me with the Nippon Modus Pro Tour 105 regular shaft in the Power Loft option. Power loft is a couple of degrees lower loft per club which helped reduce the spin for me
I have played the I525 for six months and have found them to be easy to play but I haven’t had the problem of a flyer. I do favor the I230 and have hit them well but I’m not going to switch. Amateur golf needs to not compare 7 iron to 7 iron but distance to distance. We rarely have full shots in golf. We always need to adjust distance on every shot. Choose the club that fits the distance. If you were 145 yards the I525 would be an 8 but the other two would be 7 irons.
I was fit for and played the 525’s last yr. I traded them in and now play the 230’s…not even comparable to be honest with the 230’s being far far better. We all have very different games and swings but if you havent gotten any flyers yet i cant explain how lucky your are. I got them quite often and im talking 20 yards. When you’re ready to take that next step the 230’s are easily worth the upgrade. I really liked the 525’s but the 230’s are in a different class of impressive.
How much did going for power lofts reduce spin and launch ? I’ve been testing with std lofts and px io shaft , love the shaft but feel they are launching a bit high . Thanks !
@@GolfShow your right, I read it’s a forged feel, whatever that means. That’s what gives them the forgiveness. Plus the durability factor of a cast club vs Forged is big too.I like my i525s. I may buy the i230s and give them a shot as well. Thanks for the video!! New subscriber.
@@GolfShow I'd love to, but you're on your own with this one... Rach is gonna knock you out, ask me how I know about wives taking your consciousness away from you 🤣🤣🤣

Well done, Paul -- most informative. Thanks !!!
Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to comment.

Love Ping clubs, I have the full set of G425's, i230's look interesting as a potential next set.
Hi Jamie. Thanks for taking the time to comment. One of my regular playing partners is about to make the switch from G425 to the i230s 👍🏼

One of your best shows 🎉

Hi there. Sorry for jot replying sooner. It’s not a massive reduction but hey defiantly help as I have a high ball flight.
Should of alternated with the club's.
3 weeks ago you had much more hair too!
You noticed Rich 😂
I230s are forged ??
Hi John. No they are not. The i59 is and the i525 has a forged face

They'll need hiding Paul 😉
Help! 😂

Why aren’t you on a fairway???
i59 too good
i230 on the money for an 8hc
i525 too ugly and noisy
Hovland uses i210.
Hovland would be awesome if he used Walmart clubs.
