eye emoji: I would prefer the i500s. I have used both clubs and they feel amazing, but I like the i500 a little bit more because they fit my play style. Also, great video! Keep up the amazing work! :)
Great video as always Rick, in my opinion the best golf RUclipsr out there due to the fact that I can see in your videos that you have taken your time and care in making them for our benefit and our entertainment as viewers. You stretch the extra mile.
Rick great review I play the i200 irons the i210 just seem very similar and would take a lot for me to change from i200. I do like the look of the i500 😃
I was almost committed to a new set of P-790’s, but Ping has made things interesting. You bring up some interesting points, at the store, all you hit is a 7 iron when trying out new clubs, but what is the yardage gap between the rest of the clubs? Also, how do you determine what is more important, feel, distance, workability? Why do they make it so hard to put a new set of irons in the bag?
Years later, but im putting together my first set in maybe 10 years! This set is on the way Edit: Took a little while for them to come in, but they finally came in a few weeks ago. I had the free time the past week to really get into the i210s and I absolutely love them. I used to game the i3s in Highschool and these feel somewhat familiar on set up, but like 30x more attractive.
Rick talked me into the G30’s a few years ago. They were a high and long hitting ball. However the offset and bulky head were very off putting and I just couldn’t score with them. I went back to an old set of ping i3 blades, I immediately started scoring again however they lacked the distance and ball flight of the g30. The feel was ok, you were punished severely on miss hits. I purchased the i210’s with the Nippon tour 105 x stiff in the power spec and wow what a set! The ball flight is a high penetrating shot with the perfect amount of back spin, the feel and sound haunted my sleep last night it was so good. I was afraid that the power spec would produce a lower flight with lower spins rates but was pleasantly surprised. I went to the local fitter, they did not have the power spec, I knew the 105’s were a mid to high kick and in the flex they would be a little straighter for me. The combo is unbelievable. They are longer and more forgiving than my g30’s and way better looking and feeling than my old blades This is definitely my forever set. Keep up the great videos Rick.
I tested the i200 and liked the feel of them last year. I really like the look of the i210! I'm potentially in the market for new irons soon, these will be on the list.
Thanks Rick. Good review. I just picked up my set and I have not even played them yet. I probably bought them for different reasons than most but lets hope they live up their billings. Cheers!
Have to say your review of the ping i210 they sound like a review of the old i25 irons and also look very similar. Would love to see a comparison of the two irons
Definitely think ping are right to keep bringing out the sets it helps high handicapped players to experiment with their irons 👍🏻 different feels with every set ⛳️ love these videos rick class act bud have a great time at he open following you on insta 👌🏻❤️
Rick, has there ever been a forgiving iron with little to no offset? I'm getting back into golf and your channel is, so far, my favorite of the many channels out there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Eddie.
Nice review Rick as always, it would be helpful if you could give a little more info on the Spec of the clubs that you are testing, i.e. shaft type, weight, length & Flex, also lie angles. You could perhaps put them in a Pop-up box during your intro
i210's look amazing! Got to try the i500's in my store today; definitely can feel the stronger loft and the softness of the forged. Cannot wait to try the i210's!!
I wanted the i500s because they look sooo good. And although they also felt amazing to me, I was having way too hard of a time getting a consistent distance in the simulator. Gonna go try out the i210s soon and hopefully they will be the ones for me!
I just love the i200-210 series. The look is so fine it's ridiculous. All the way back to my old i3s I've long retired for something with a little more help I've loved the i series look and this is better than ever.
Love my i200 irons. The i210 looks great, but if it came down to preordering these or getting a set of i200s with the price drop, I don't think there's enough of a leap forward to justify the i210s higher cost. Highly recommend testing out some i200s in the short time that they'll still be available.
Great Vid as always Rick! One thing I will say, your the first reviewer I have seen in quite a few others, who is getting proper gaping between Wedge and 7 iron. The other reviewers are seeing 40 yd gap from PW to 7I which imo is a bit of a big gap, not sure how to take why your gaping is perfect and others are seeing this Wide gaping. Before someone says it, the other testers were (pro's) also :)
Just hit these, I agree that they are a little softer in feel than the i200s. I'm curious to see if the new Pearl 2.0 finish will resist scratching a little better.
Best PING iron I’ve hit. Liked the look of S55 but not the hard feel. The i210’s just kicked the Razr x muscle backs out of the bag. These really feel good and offer a bit of forgiveness!
Wow both cost a fortune. Both look amazing (probably like the i500 best). It sounds like both have amazing feel. Definitely gonna have to give them a hit. Excellent video Rick you've really got this spot on!
Hi Rick I am a mid handicap and looking to getting fitted for Ping clubs and these clubs the I 210 I am looking to get would you recommend it for me? But love the review
Another great review Rick. Love the look of the i210 for sure, but impressed with the distance of the i500. Do you expect the G400 irons will be reimaged to look more like the i210 in its next iteration (I suppose they would call it G410)? That iron looks a bit out of place vs. the rest of the line now...
if you had the g400's in soft regular.... but hit the ball squarely everytime... would you suggest the I210 or i500? i will be using the added specs in them as I do in the G400's. Thanks for your time and I hope you enjoy your OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP this wkend.... Can't wait to watch...
Hi Rick I’m thinking of new ping clubs. Would you say the i210 or i500 For a mid handy cap looking to get better. Many thanks and great work on the vids.
Man you are killing these videos and are by far the best club reviewer out there. I am a 12 handicap and strike the ball ok. I currently play the Callaway APEX CF 16 and they are a good iron. How do these compare and are these suited for more a better player than one who uses a CF 16?
The i200s are mint. Most used club on the LPGA. When i got new irons a couple months back it come down to the i200s and wilson staff c300 forged and the wilsons won out, just hahaha
Hey, Rick. Which of these two (or others out by Ping) are most similar to the i10 irons from a few years ago? I am a 4 handicap and love my set. I think the i210 irons would be my choice between the two.
Still think i500 is a little bit better, side thought; Ping irons are slowly beginning to resemble Taylormade/PXG player irons with the i500 having a huge reseblince to their irons and the i210 having it's in "speed foam". Regardless I still think that both irons are great.
The i200, iBlade and even the iE1 had elastomer inserts as well, it sounds like it is just bigger and softer in the i210. I do love my i200 though:). The i500 does look really nice.
Nice one Rick. I play G700 irons and wonder if I could manage these ! I play off 13 and want to improve my ball striking and get little feed back from my clubs ! What do you think ! Cheers 👍
Great Review. I have been playing the i210 with the senior graphite shaft and distance is great, feel is terrible. There is no feedback with this shaft. I went back to my i25's and there is no comparison. I can feel the ball compress and there is instant feed back. I'm a 5 hcp, and have always been a feel player. I'm going to switch shafts on the i210 for the light weight steel. Any thoughts??? Thank you.
I felt like the I500 felt better, and had more workability because of the forged face, with a good amount of forgiveness with the cast body, and I felt like the top line on the i500 is thinner and looks a lot cleaner!
Rick, how long will the elastomer material in the clubs last? Isn't the elastomer some form of rubber? Will it harden or/and dry? Will the clubs feel just as good after 5-10 years?
i500 would be my preference for the clean lines and classic look. My issue with the i210 is the way the polymer insert creates a joint or groove if you prefer that can accumulate dirt and debris. That would annoy me to no end having to dig crap out of their after every round.
I feel that I210 is a well chosen name that indicates an incremental advancement of the popular I200. Calling it an I300 would imply something more different. Between the I210 and I500 I would prefer the former. Your test of the I500 showed a huge gap between the pitching wedge and 7 iron - more than just a 9 and 8 iron could bridge. So, if you want a more balanced set of irons, it has to be the I210 - as long as you have the requisite skill.
@Rick Shiels Golf What do you think about the prospect of running a mixed set of i210 and i500 utilising retro spec lofts in long irons (3-6 irons) in i500 and then standard lofts in the short irons (7-UW) in the i210. Do you think you could achieve functional gapping and take advantage of the added "help" of the i500's in the longer clubs and the precision/spin of the i210 in the scoring clubs.Ive hit both and love the feel of the i500 but am unsure about the potential inconsistency in spin and distance control they will have in the shorter irons/wedges compared to something with a more traditional design like the i210. Would love your thoughts on a mixed set!
Looks like an evolutionary change. Probably an indication that the previous version was working well, so just some minor improvements and not screw up a good thing.
Rick - did i210 have same shaft as G500? Also, what are your thoughts about mixing Ping's offerings so that you max benefits of G700 in 3, 4, & 5 irons, then playability of G500's 8 through 6 irons followed by the preciseness of the 1210's wedge/9????Longtime Ping advocate

Rick Shiels Golf yesss
I500s all day
Rick Shiels Golf i500
I think i would prefer the i210's. I like the more traditional lofts as well as more spin. I am skeptical of the hollow head/goo filled head lifetime.

Great video as always Rick, in my opinion the best golf RUclipsr out there due to the fact that I can see in your videos that you have taken your time and care in making them for our benefit and our entertainment as viewers. You stretch the extra mile.
The quality of these videos keep getting better!!
Thank you for incorporating *outdoor* testing in your club reviews. Your club reviews are comprehensive.
looks like Ping is really stepping up their game in the iron category. I am going to give these and the i500 a try!
Rick great review I play the i200 irons the i210 just seem very similar and would take a lot for me to change from i200. I do like the look of the i500 😃
I've watched a number of reviews you've done on irons and this is one of your best reviews on a set of irons.
Just got fitted a couple weeks ago. Never thought I would pick PING. I cannot wait to get the call that they’re ready to pick up. Great review!
I was almost committed to a new set of P-790’s, but Ping has made things interesting. You bring up some interesting points, at the store, all you hit is a 7 iron when trying out new clubs, but what is the yardage gap between the rest of the clubs?

Same. Ordered them today. Pumped :)
@@marclarrea7330 thats awesome! I have to wait maybe another week for them to ship out, but my Heppler putter came in today and I love it lol
me too, ordered yesterday! upgrading from the i15s
You’re gonna love them. Btw Lee Westwood plays with this irons too ;)
I just picked up these today.... upgraded from my 20 year old i3+ irons, can't wait to get out on the course with these.
I remember when you had under 10k subs. It's amazing how fast your channel has grown. Keep up the great content.
Hit the i210 and 500 Saturday, no comparison in feel the 210 was like butter. Will be ordering those soon.
I210's fabulous Irons 👍. Very thorough review. Love ping for years especially ping eye irons ⛳
Rick talked me into the G30’s a few years ago. They were a high and long hitting ball. However the offset and bulky head were very off putting and I just couldn’t score with them.

You are the Best in the Biz Rick!
I have the i200, but cant stop looking at the i500's!!!
Definitely ticking my boxes too!
Thanks Rick. Good review. I just picked up my set and I have not even played them yet. I probably bought them for different reasons than most but lets hope they live up their billings. Cheers!

Been looking for a change in my irons.. and these might be the set I'm looking for... Great review
i210's look amazing! Got to try the i500's in my store today; definitely can feel the stronger loft and the softness of the forged. Cannot wait to try the i210's!!
Did u end up buying ?
Rick the data you offer is so thorough. Thank you. I personally like i210.
Good-looking irons. I'll have to check them out when they hit the stores. Thanks for the review, Rick.
Great job. Love your reviews. I learn so much. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
Love the video and the new irons from ping these past 2 years are beautiful.
I just ordered a set of these today. Good price point and they felt great when I was getting fitted for them.
How are those irons playing?
Hi Rick I've tried them both i liked the i500 but the i210 are buttery soft loved them.......
I wanted the i500s because they look sooo good. And although they also felt amazing to me, I was having way too hard of a time getting a consistent distance in the simulator. Gonna go try out the i210s soon and hopefully they will be the ones for me!

Love the reviews. Appreciate your candor. I'd lean toward the standard i210's. Although, I agree, the name seems silly. Keep it up Rick!
Just tried them after my last comment. Wow they are gorgeous! Now I know I can game them 👍👍
You positively raved about the feel of the i500. How would you compare that model with the i210?
Just hit these, I agree that they are a little softer in feel than the i200s. I'm curious to see if the new Pearl 2.0 finish will resist scratching a little better.
Best PING iron I’ve hit. Liked the look of S55 but not the hard feel. The i210’s just kicked the Razr x muscle backs out of the bag. These really feel good and offer a bit of forgiveness!
Rick swing is looking great. Such an inspiration to us all.
great review again Rick, i prefer the look of i210 absolutely beautiful looking irons from ping one of my favourite manufacturer
Went to a golf shop to get fitted for mp20 mmc and test a couple others. Was very surprised how well these hit.
Only club review worthwhile on youtube! Thanks for adding the gapping concern! I think u will give these a try after seeing your review ^_^
Hi Rick, can you do the top 10 fairway woods of 2018 as well? Really loved the top 10 irons of 2018 vid by the way.
They’re in my bag and will not be leaving anytime soon.
Both great looking irons. Top 2 irons I'm going to look at when getting fitted. Hopefully in a few months🤞
I prefer the i500 because I like the look of them and your videos are amazing keep them up
6 handicap. Wanted to get the I200 then u did the I500 review. Now the I210s. Think I like the distance of I500 over I210.
Wow both cost a fortune. Both look amazing (probably like the i500 best). It sounds like both have amazing feel. Definitely gonna have to give them a hit. Excellent video Rick you've really got this spot on!
the i210 4-p is $875
I would have to go with the i500. Always trying to squeeze a little for distance. Also like the forgiveness.
Love your videos Rick! These are selling for $875 in the US!
👁210 love the look, will match the glide wedges beautifully. Another great review 👍
Hi Rick I am a mid handicap and looking to getting fitted for Ping clubs and these clubs the I 210 I am looking to get would you recommend it for me? But love the review
Great review Rick. The Ping range is looking really strong. Could you blend sets iblade to g700?
Another great review Rick. Love the look of the i210 for sure, but impressed with the distance of the i500. Do you expect the G400 irons will be reimaged to look more like the i210 in its next iteration (I suppose they would call it G410)? That iron looks a bit out of place vs. the rest of the line now...
if you had the g400's in soft regular.... but hit the ball squarely everytime... would you suggest the I210 or i500? i will be using the added specs in them as I do in the G400's. Thanks for your time and I hope you enjoy your OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP this wkend.... Can't wait to watch...
Great video can you do a review between the standard , power and retro spec?
Love the look of the i500 but the I 210 would be better suited to my play style. Currently using ap2's . Great video as always Rick .
Rick, thx for another awesome review. What shafts in those 210s. I'm still loving my i25s w KBS Tour 90s. Demoed 210s w DGs
Hi Rick
I’m thinking of new ping clubs.
Would you say the i210 or i500
For a mid handy cap looking to get better.
Many thanks and great work on the vids.
Man you are killing these videos and are by far the best club reviewer out there. I am a 12 handicap and strike the ball ok. I currently play the Callaway APEX CF 16 and they are a good iron. How do these compare and are these suited for more a better player than one who uses a CF 16?
Im going to check your review on the i500, I think they would suit me better and I like more the look of the i500
As always Great video Rick!
The i200s are mint. Most used club on the LPGA. When i got new irons a couple months back it come down to the i200s and wilson staff c300 forged and the wilsons won out, just hahaha
Hey, Rick. Which of these two (or others out by Ping) are most similar to the i10 irons from a few years ago? I am a 4 handicap and love my set. I think the i210 irons would be my choice between the two.
Should do a video on just avoiding mistakes and bad decision making and just general course managememy for those tryingto crack 75 or even par
hi Rick great review, is their any advantage to having clubs that are to big or clubs that are to small
Great looking irons, can’t wait to give them a try.
👁 210...Ping on a roll right now, producing some great looking irons and imo best driver of 2018 (G400 Max)...
Still think i500 is a little bit better, side thought; Ping irons are slowly beginning to resemble Taylormade/PXG player irons with the i500 having a huge reseblince to their irons and the i210 having it's in "speed foam". Regardless I still think that both irons are great.
The i200, iBlade and even the iE1 had elastomer inserts as well, it sounds like it is just bigger and softer in the i210. I do love my i200 though:). The i500 does look really nice.
Ping are making some lovely looking clubs atm, very impressive
Hey i rick, ive had the i200 for more than a year now and im loving it, is there a big difference with the i210?
Nice one Rick. I play G700 irons and wonder if I could manage these ! I play off 13 and want to improve my ball striking and get little feed back from my clubs ! What do you think ! Cheers 👍
another great review, Rick. thanks!!
They arrive tomorrow... Looking forward to confirm this review
Confirmed?
absolutely... I fell in love in one day... but not only me, also Hovland, Westwood, Cink, Hatton, and a bunch of LPGA and LET ladies
Great Review. I have been playing the i210 with the senior graphite shaft and distance is great, feel is terrible. There is no feedback with this shaft. I went back to my i25's and there is no comparison. I can feel the ball compress and there is instant feed back. I'm a 5 hcp, and have always been a feel player. I'm going to switch shafts on the i210 for the light weight steel. Any thoughts??? Thank you.
I felt like the I500 felt better, and had more workability because of the forged face, with a good amount of forgiveness with the cast body, and I felt like the top line on the i500 is thinner and looks a lot cleaner!
Rick, how long will the elastomer material in the clubs last? Isn't the elastomer some form of rubber? Will it harden or/and dry? Will the clubs feel just as good after 5-10 years?
Rick, I love gadgets. What is this watch/GPS that you keep showing? Can you do a video review about it?
These are gorgeous definitely prefer the look of them over the i500.
I liked the i200, but I think I'm leaning i500, BUT I haven't hit either yet so time will tell!
Rick you keep improving every video⛳️
i500 would be my preference for the clean lines and classic look. My issue with the i210 is the way the polymer insert creates a joint or groove if you prefer that can accumulate dirt and debris. That would annoy me to no end having to dig crap out of their after every round.
i500!! Both smart tho and loving the pro tracer 👌
I like the look and idea of the i210 more
Nice looking club thanks for the review Rick
I feel that I210 is a well chosen name that indicates an incremental advancement of the popular I200. Calling it an I300 would imply something more different. Between the I210 and I500 I would prefer the former. Your test of the I500 showed a huge gap between the pitching wedge and 7 iron - more than just a 9 and 8 iron could bridge. So, if you want a more balanced set of irons, it has to be the I210 - as long as you have the requisite skill.
Tested these a couple months ago when they had only just been released on tour; only needed a few hits to order a full set in my specs...
You still using them ?
Stewart Cink plays with the Ping i210's. I plan to demo a set.
@Rick Shiels Golf What do you think about the prospect of running a mixed set of i210 and i500 utilising retro spec lofts in long irons (3-6 irons) in i500 and then standard lofts in the short irons (7-UW) in the i210. Do you think you could achieve functional gapping and take advantage of the added "help" of the i500's in the longer clubs and the precision/spin of the i210 in the scoring clubs.Ive hit both and love the feel of the i500 but am unsure about the potential inconsistency in spin and distance control they will have in the shorter irons/wedges compared to something with a more traditional design like the i210.
Would love your thoughts on a mixed set!
i210's look great! Man would love these.
I think the i500’s would be a better fit for me. Great review Rick!
Great review as always
Looks like an evolutionary change. Probably an indication that the previous version was working well, so just some minor improvements and not screw up a good thing.
It’s hard to say i210?
They are called I 210 because they come after the i200 and are only a subtle change.
Ping are pretty honest about that.
Rick - did i210 have same shaft as G500? Also, what are your thoughts about mixing Ping's offerings so that you max benefits of G700 in 3, 4, & 5 irons, then playability of G500's 8 through 6 irons followed by the preciseness of the 1210's wedge/9????Longtime Ping advocate
I like the Jordan golf shoes Rick. What golf app are you using on your smart watch?
Hi rick, what golf watch is on your wrist? Will u please do a review on it.
I210s definitely!
Need to try these
