I've played golf for 56 years and iron lofts have decreased incremently over the last few years. I'mnow 66 years old and hit my P790's as far if not further than any other set of irons i've owned. The i530's still look mighty fine!
The biggest problem us average golfers face is trying to get height and a good descent angle with these new lofts. My current 7 iron is 35 degrees and I tried the Ping G730's and that 7 iron is 28 degrees. Yes, I gained about 27 more total yards but the descent angle was like a rocket hitting the green. I couldn't get it into the 40's and the height was also much lower. I'm now going to have to look at some of the high launch clubs.
I just got fitted for a set of these. Amazing, the ball literally jumps off the face. They were the longest clubs i tested by 10 yards and the 2nd most accurate overall. Hit about 9 or 10 different iron sets. Ping knocked it out of the park with these.
I never had Pings up until last year when I got a set of i230's, and fell in love with them. I did also pickup 7-PW of the Blueprint T's and that is such a perfect mix for my game, but these 530's look really great. I wouldnt mind building out a long 3 iron of the 530 to add to the top end of the bag. Great review, James!
I just pick mine up today .. can’t even hit them yet because they were just made this morning.. I was fit into them a few weeks ago … hit them amazingly
Just played my first round yesterday with these irons, 9 holes, shot 3 over.. awesome irons! I had the i525s. I'm glad I upgraded to the i530s.. they're sweet irons
What has happened to Mizuno and the saying, "nothing feels like a Mizuno." You just don't hear anything about Mizuno irons anymore.

And next year there will be a new iron that’s perfect for golfers. Wash. Rinse, repeat……. 😀

No matter what they do, a hollow iron is never going to feel as good as a one-piece forged iron.
Great vid as always

When you review clubs like this, it would be nice to share the listed lofts of the clubs.
Good timing James I’m off to Ping on Friday to get fitted for the Ping i530
I would like to use 4,5,6 in i530 with my i230 irons. It just would need a lot of loft tweaking to make the gaps up.
Fantastic looking set of irons and a fantastic review James
Those Pings look really good! Thanks for the review James!
