'I checked your Apple watch and you don't take 50 steps a day!' laughed out loud at that one :)
Maybe to go buy chips and redbull and kleenex 😂
That stung 😂
😂😂😂😂
Same!!!
haha me too. loved how Mikey got Ian back with that "back in your day" comment when Ian said PW used to be 48deg+
Iron reviews where you both are hitting the same models and comparing are so helpful 👏🏽👏🏽 hopefully we can keep seeing them in the future
I love watching Ian hit a set of blades, but the real highlight of this video for me was stripeshow Mikey putting on a ball striking clinic. The work he's putting in shows!
The Blueprint T is not a set of blades. The BLUEPRINT is a set of blades.
@@NC-1861That’s what i thought
You guys are so good, thank you for the informative, detailed and honest reviews you do across all brands. Always fun to watch and always learn plenty.
love both of you hitting the new sticks, helps out more of the audience
One of the best and most informative videos ever for fitting!
The video I was waiting for!
I have never been a fan of PING irons but these Blueprint T irons look amazing. Great video
Been playing Ping clubs all my life, no sense in changing now. Glad to see they made the lofts a little more realistic Great review
guys, enjoyed very much. Thanks, have a great day.
I was just fit into a set of Blueprint S irons! I am so very excited! I was blown away with the feel of them and very surprised by the forgiveness of them for what they are.
Well done Mikey! Ball striking clinic!!!
I’d love to see a head to head of the S vs the t150s!
much waited for , minty
That opening shot Mikey was baller - straight big time 👊🏾
I'm currently playing a set of Maruman Conductor Pro Forged cavity backs I built up, and they have a deep and full-width undercut on the 5 and 6 iron, and it makes such a difference.
Mikey are swinging those blades as a freaking boss!!
Damn, Mikey striking the ball really well with these. Swing looks good and getting off that right side!
I went and got to hit both the S and the T, ended up falling in love with the T. I have a set of i230's, so I ordered 7-PW in the T and matched the lofts up with the i230's. The S is a monster of a club, and still in the back of my mind for a potential buy in the future.
So S is the monster but you bought the T! 😆
@@hansidelk6604monster doesn’t go straight
Another contender for my bag 😮
Good demo of the differences between models. Not sure why you both came into the test thinking the BP-S were in the same category as the i-series. They were never intended to replace the i230, and actually replace the i59 and take many design cues from the S55. Marty J says this in interviews. The i230 is a progressive non-combo combo set with lineage from i5, i15, i20, i25, etc. Several tour pros are combo'ing the BP-S and the i230. I'll have to demo the BP-S soon, they look great and seem to have great consistency to them.
been interested in the Blueprint T since seeing them show up last year
I hit these yesterday. I didn’t expect that kind of feel from a Ping iron
entertaining and informative
Blueprint s might be the best irons in the game right now
I checked your apple watch. Ian is a savage lmao
Lovely irons and great test again guys but they still look like you need to be a fair player to tee them up 😜🤙
They are a nicer looking iron than the previous model. So that's a plus.
I'd love to see the same review of (and then a comparison with) the 2024 Wilson Staff blades and CBs, which have been designed to blend really well aesthetically.
About time for Ian to switch...again...lol
Great review 👍. I would go with the S and I definitely would not combo with another head, which isn't fully forged.
Ian is correct, these with a Miura stamp would be perfect but the Miura stamp would mean the feel is the best there is and unfortunately that’s not the case with the ping.
Be interested to see there’s compared with the OG blueprints! Nothing else has kicked them out of my bag so far
I agree completely witht the 20% smaller version of the i230, I looked at them along side my iblades but they were just that much too big
those are good looking clubs
I noticed that both of you were delivering these clubs toe down. If you played them how much would you adjust this?
I own the OG Blueprints. They're going to be a couple yards short, and no one should be surprised by it. They're not that hard to hit. I only wish they'd have gone to a U / Gap Wedge now that they're at PW 45º. That said, the S159 looks lovely, and that'll be a good option.
Tried both of these looking to go 5-9 in the T. They feel softer then the T100
I could see myself moving out of my i59 for the S. I’ve toyed around with the i230, but the bulk doesn’t suit my eye. Thanks for the review.
In the store what caught my eye about them was the top down look at set up. They’re not fat up top like many others and once I saw it I couldn’t unsee it lol. Getting fit next week and if I hit em good I’m a buyer. However every time I get on a sim in a fitting I forget how to play altogether. Guy told me to buy lessons last time n not new irons 😂irons
I would like to see a head2head, i230 vs Blueprint S
Thinking about a combo set of i230 4 & 5, then 6-pw BP-S
I see the same “extreme?” Toe down results with irons on my quad. What are your thoughts on this. Some of these numbers are so significant that it would seem silly/impossible to bend to match. I’d love your perspective, I’ve been confused about this.
Tried the i230 irons shortly after they came out and was not impressed by the sound and feel, especially when I thought that the original blueprints were perhaps in the top 3 all time irons for look and feel.
Hopefully these S irons will feel much better than the i230
Very interested in combo set of i230 4 &5, & 6-pw BP-S!
Adam Scott is to Miura what Justin Rose was to Honma
This was a very compelling and interesting demo switching between clubs for both of you. Any idea why Mikey struggles w/4i? He would seem to have enough head speed, I did not see an aoa shown, I’m guessing he just needs to work on swing to better compress ball rather than sweep it. Good winter project for you laddie😉
Would love to see more of these demoes in other lines such as Mizuno 241, 243, 245 where you’re both swinging at full lineup.
His speed and ballstriking isnt good enough for 4i. Too little compression
tbh i think its mostly in his head. def good enough to be able to game a 4 iron
Most ams shouldn't be going anywhere near a 4 iron
@@craigcameron6450 I somewhat disagree, then again I play 2 4-irons, at least 2 clubs labeled as 4-iron. My 25* Muira 501 4-iron and a Srixon U85 22* 4-iron.
Sure I could play a hybrid but that Srixon is a comfortable 220 carry, the Miura a 205 carry. I can shape both and I’m MUCH more confident hitting iron out of rough than hybrid. Bigger issue is my spin and dispersion is FAR worse with hybrid. The U85 22* I can very consistently hit 3800 spin and hit anything from low stinger to high cut and I commonly know the carry distance with +\- 5 yds. My personal experience with a couple different 220yd carry hybrids, they often balloon to 4500 spin go left more often than I like and the dispersion is huge. Average may be 220, but I commonly would see 235 carry down to 210, all on solid strikes. The highly erratic spin would see balls ramping up in mild wind, falling short or low spin knickers flying over greens. For some hybrids work, but many of us they are too inconsistent. I play to 3.6 index, age 64.
Shot a 74 yesterday and i’m hopeful the S can help me make that 73.
Too much information 😂
@clubchampion how much more forgiving are your T150s compared to the blueprint S?
I love my i200s, but they are 7 years old and my handicap has dropped from 8 to a 2-3 and I want to try out the blueprint S irons
The toe down mikey your about 5-6 degree i have the same issue whats a good fix?
How about a head to head with the blueprint S vs the s55?
so is the blueprint s for a “ wider array of golfers” or still a low handicappers club?
Man oh man should I ditch the t100s for blueprint s power spec?
Can yall do a JPX 923 vs Ping blueprint head to head
The S is looking like its going to be one of pings most universally popular irons in a while. Sucks that they're going to retail at 2500!
That price must affect sales negative
Where did you get that? I see them listed almost everywhere for $1700.
I just bought a set for $1350. I guess I must be special.
@@xxthadeucexx ah sorry, that was in Canadian dollar. 1700 after tax will still be damn expensive.
@@xToseee Beauty! How'd you swing that deal? Think I'll be happy with my apex TCBs for a while but I'd definitely be looking into the blueprint S if not for the price
Hopefully, the release of the new Ping wedges isn’t too far behind.
RIP to the walets of all the Ping fans here who are likely going to end up with a set of S'es and I's to go with their i230's.... like me. 😅
😂😂😂
What about a video on Ping S55 vs Blueprint S
After gaming i230's I think I'm done w Ping non-wood clubs for a good while, maybe forever. Such a PITA to build, required tons of extra weight in/on the heads with mid size grips. Every Ping iron/wedge I've had was like this.
Mikey speed phenom
I'd love to try the S, but I'm def not good enough to play them.
Just play the T. Mishits perform amazing and so pure through the rough.
Had my eye on the S. Switched into 230 from 210’s and quickly went back. Would be unsure with a 230 combo in the long irons due to the groove difference
new clubs are cool but why not just keep the i210 in the long irons
What do you mean?
Boys where on one in this video. Dialed with these
mikey is gonna have S in the bag here soon after that performance
Are the i59s being phased out or replaced?
How do they compared to TC-201 in terms of forgiveness?
I really wanted to play the TC-201s, but I found them just too punishing on mis-hits. I ended up getting the Mizuno JPX 923 Tours
Aren't TXG rules if you dunk a shot it goes in the bag?
should I go T100 or Blueprint S? I'm super torn
did you guys like the blueprint s more than the 0317 T?
Blueprint classic vs Blueprint T?
The "average golfer" is a 16 index and hits their 7 iron about 135-140 if they flush it, so maybe the top 10% of golfers (index = 8.0 or better)?
That blade sounds hard
Wasn't Adam Scott using Muiras fairly recently? Why did he leave Titleist after so many years?
Not sure if Titleist dropped him or if he felt like testing other clubs.If I was a touring pro I’d have a hard time sticking with one manufacturer no matter how much they paid me. Playing different clubs keeps my interest up in the game.
I own the i230's Forgiving as all get-out but no speed from them at all (and pretty sure the shafts are not right for me)
Power spec them you’ll get more distance and lower spin. The i230 spin a lot already
“I do everything for the commentators” 😂😂😂.
What about women's club testing?
Long Iron Mikey
are those j1s asw?
Will we see Ian bag the S in power spec with Axiom shafts🤣🤣🤣🤣
Retro lofts will fix that offset. 😊
Why does Blueprint T have more bounce on the shorter irons than S? 13 on T and 11,5 S
I noticed that too. I'm thinking they did that to make up for the smaller sole in the T vs the S? I think there is more bounce on all of the T irons.
What advantage does the T have over the S in the shorter irons?
Nothing. Ego. That’s all.
I demoed the T and S irons and I got a noticeably lower launch and spin rate in the T.
A blade traditionally 34*? I can’t think of any blade being that strong unless it’s been produced the last 5 years in this era of jacked up lofts. Traditional 7 blade is 36-38*. My Miura’s are 36* w/48* PW, when I first learned the game 45 years ago in college, my Wilson Staffs and later my Orlimar’s were 38* w/50* PW
Thanks.
Modern day “standard” lofts are:
P - 46
9 - 42
8 - 38
7 - 34
6 - 30
5 -27
4 - 24
3 -21
is Mikey compressing the ball better than Ian?!
so is mikey is basically saying he wouldn't play them
Have any manufacturers ever consulted you, as fitters, to learn what you need to best fit clients?
Yes they have.
toe down quite a bit with both of you, is the lie 'standard'? just high hands? What's going on there?
"Magestic Mike"
Ian is a little prick with that 50 steps comment 😂
These look beautiful, but the T would be so hard to hit.
I understand Wilson are replacing their Staff MB and CB irons in’24. I love to see a similar comparison for those irons.
How would you compare blueprint s to ZX7?
I’ve played both in the past. Blueprints feels fantastic but little forgiveness. Zx7 feels solid with plenty of forgiveness.
Thanks! The old blueprint was definitely smaller and didn't have much forgiveness. What about the new Blueprint S cavity back model? Seems to me like Ping tried to put a lot of tech to make the forgiveness level closer to a ZX7-type iron but I was curious to see what they think. Seems like they think T100 is a reasonable comparison, which would seem to be less forgiving than ZX7, which is closer to T150 to me. @@mariofonseca9267
Mikey is a flusher
Would you give me the putt? Not yet 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You can clearly see the blades hit target just like the cavity. Its a myth that the difference is that big. Its not a lot in it. Its 95% mental.
I think I read somewhere that a blade struck in the sweet spot will perform as well as any cavity back. The problem is us amateurs don’t find that spot as often as the pros do.But nothing beats a nice blade that is a fact.
These aren’t traditional blades they have weighting to help the mishits. Got hit a traditional blade with no weighting you will 100% notice the difference
@@conraywestyeah I hit the T the other day 6 iron and out of 5 swings I never noticed them being hard to hit. I’m thinking they may be more like a t100 than a blade, or I had 5/5 good swings with a random club not fit for me
Deng Mike is much longer now.
My bank account is in big trouble.
😂😂😂. I think mine may be $1500-$1600 lighter this summer😂
@@cleveland2022Summer? Who can wait till then? I’ve got a birthday next month.Lol
The Bluprint T is NOT a blade. The BLUEPRINT is a blade!!!
You guys talk too much... Got to be a fastest way to test clubs
this was a perfect review imho
The "no forgiveness" rhetoric surrounding blades is getting so tired. So tired.
