Poor video about 3 great clubs The i230 is not really a mid HC iron, it is popular on the LPGA tour for example. The i530 is probably Ping's mid HC iron. Saying, as the video does, that the i230 is the highest launching iron is misleading. Of course it is higher launching the i230 7i has a loft of 33 degrees, Mizuno 245 a loft of 30 degrees and P790 30.5 degrees. Mid HC irons are aimed at the average golfer. There is little point in testing them with a 90+ mph 7i club head speed and telling us about spin rates and descent angles when the clubs are aimed at players with a club head speed of around 80 mph - it is the spin rates, peak height and descent angles achieved at the 80 mph club head speed that really matter to the average male golfer
Spot on. I'm a 14, 7i swing at 88mph and have the i230. If you miss hit it, you see a big drop off..you need to be a good striker for these. If your mediocre, look elsewhere. I've had the Ie1, i200 and now i239. The Ie1 was the most forgiving- ugly but great iron. the 230 the least forgiving by a lot!!
@@melnor82 as you can see by another video on the channel... the lessons are for everyone. I dropped several strokes in just a few weeks from my last lesson with Bryan!
Not a fan of strong lofted irons for distance. Confidence in mid handicap golfers is decreased with these. Typically with strong lofted irons the launch angle is lower. Only the shaft gets the shot up in the air when using them.
I bounce around a 6-8 cap and it still baffles me why anyone even games irons these small unless they are around that 0-5 handicap range.. I think people play irons way above their abilities and choose looks over skill. I guess I just choose easy over looks. Also these irons other than maybe the i230 do nothing for the lower swing speed guys like myself to help with launch and spin rates.
I personally don’t think those irons are too small. Agreed a bigger head would be more forgiving but to each their own. I have a set of 245’s and have as much fun playing them as the JPX irons that replaced them.
@@GolfGarbageI currently am in between irons. I just sold g430 irons so I’m gaming my old Cleveland 588 Altitude irons. I plan to order jpx925 HL irons once available
Ping i230 ain't for a mid handicap. There a.tiny blade.length def for a better player. Also mid handicap doesn't swing at 90 mph need to take 15 mph of that
This is awesome! Great job Jake and Brad!
nice job brad and HQ crew!
So - the guy at the beginning says "when I say mid handicapper i'm thinking high teens to low 20s" - huh? I thought mid handicapper meant like 10-20
One question I have is your club head speed. The average mid handicapper does not have a 90 mph swing speed especially if they are getting older
I230 should compare with P770, not p790

This dude's got a point. I don't go to GolfTec for lessons because I have a 7i swing speed of 92 mph...

Titleist T200s should’ve been in this eval
I've hit them. Were not good for me. P790 and Szrixon ZX-5 experience.

What clubs do you play?

These are not small by any means. I was playing 790s as a 20 handicap when they first came out
Stop worrying about what other people prefer
