I've got beautiful Miura CB202s still in the bag. Annoyingly when I tested the Donnay Darko 2.0s they went in the hole EVERY time. Needless to say I left them on the shelf to give someone else the opportunity...
Just got my set. Feels like an absolute sledge hammer impacting the ball. I played S55s for years and always liked the feel better than anything out there. Recently bought 718 MBs. Felt good but never fell in love with them. When these came out the 718s went up for sale. Mine came in yesterday and spent an hour at the range last night. Absolutely love them. The feel is so solid.
I have for many many years only hit mizuno irons... It's true that nothing else feels like them. Put them up against any mizuno iron u wish and the mizuno will feel better 😝
There is an upcharge for some shafts. I have a set of Blueprints on order, and it was $25 extra per club to get Project X 6.5 Rifle shafts. Just a warning, went from 1800 to 2000.
The only thing that bothers me is I have had 8620 forged irons before after about a year of use the 8620 is softer & gets dented compared to 1025 which is harder. I do not know if Ping has done a special treatment to the finish for durability. All clubs look great new, after a couple of years which set retains it's finish quality?
Great video I got shocked by first 40 second and then I finish watching it First time I try i500 and loved it so I ordered blueprint two weeks a go and still waiting ( lefty expected) Looks amazing Let’s see
I second the wilson staff, beautiful and underappreciated in the market. Probably mizunos on the other side would be good too, as a guide against the softer forged blade.
Alex, golf is supposed to be fun and I enjoy the humor you bring along with solid, real reviews. Between the Blueprint and Mizuno 921, which would you choose? I am a 15 hc, and play blades now. Not that I am good enough, but they force me to concentrate and reward better shots which hopefully will make me a better golfer. Do you agree? Awesome video as always!
Would you prefer buying a set of Ping irons fitted to your optimum lie angle and would you buy another set of blades and bend them 2-3 degrees upright? Asking since I understand Ping irons have the same "offset" no matter what lie you choose, but other irons are made in the same offset, which is changes if you bend them.
I know I'll get some flack on this, but I'd like to see the blueprints vs i500 (with the power spec lofts) to get the contrast in carry distance and ball flights.
I think pings release of the tech is right on time. Forged blade right along with movable weights in the driver. The blueprint irons are sexy as hell and hit so so so smooth. Yes it's a blade but I would go as far as a 10 hcp can play it. Great job ping. #teamping baby
I would like to see these up against the p730s or p750s due to similar "hardness" of the irons, and the better players iron. As always, a fantastic video
Once again you have me trying to hold my LOL, not to wake my kids. The pings look so good but you mentioned something that other reviewers have not mentioned is the type of steel and the harder sounding/feeling of the irons. Also the $$$$$ could be a factor too. Love to see this up against the TM TW and the Mizuno MP18 blades.
Very clever, I see you’ve taken a page out of Ping’s marketing for this iron with the reverse psychology “For Accomplished Ball Strikers Only” lol. People love being told what they can’t do so they can go ahead and do it lol. Sales will be off the charts!
HUBA, HUBA!!!!!! I was in a Pro shop this week and they had these Beauties next to the new TM P7TW and the Blueprints made them look like 10-Pint Mingers!!!!!!!!!!!! Personally, I need all the Spaceships that you can get on an Iron, but even an "Owd Un" can dream of hitting these Stunners!!!!!!!
Great review as usual, never had ping, got srixon z forged blades, 918 mbs and Wilson staff fg tour 100 blades and these seem right up there , time will tell, 👍
Comparison with these vs. the P7TW would be fantastic, but not very useful for the real world. My vote would be for the Blueprint vs. Wilson Staff Blade showdown. Make it happen Al!
Everyone is probably saying either the TM MB or the Mizuno MB. My vote is for the other top ping iron on the market I believe it's the 410. I'm sure this is going to perform very similar to another mb iron. Let's see it against the best ping has to offer.
All these new clubs every manufacturer comes out with all the time can’t replace solid good fundamental practice. Getting properly fitted and solid practice will do the best to improve your game. Some people try to buy a game and get disappointed after they shoot the same scores and make the same mistakes. New clubs are always nice but hard work pays dividends.
Yes that would be my only gripe too, 8620 feels like junk, and are not true forgings. Thats why we use quality 1020 / 1025 Japanese forgings. There really is no other better feeling in irons. The ping irons look amazing though. Compare with the new Wilson blades .. also 8620 faux forgings.. :)
How are you not at 100 thousand subscribers? Very cheeky yet informative. Vs MP18. Great Job!
I've got beautiful Miura CB202s still in the bag. Annoyingly when I tested the Donnay Darko 2.0s they went in the hole EVERY time. Needless to say I left them on the shelf to give someone else the opportunity...
Let’s compare with P7TW 🙏🏼
GOOD ONE!
Another vote for blueprint v P7TW
Just got my set. Feels like an absolute sledge hammer impacting the ball. I played S55s for years and always liked the feel better than anything out there. Recently bought 718 MBs. Felt good but never fell in love with them. When these came out the 718s went up for sale. Mine came in yesterday and spent an hour at the range last night. Absolutely love them. The feel is so solid.
Blueprint vs. Cobra Forged MB vs. MP-18 vs P7TW
That's just greedy HAHA!
@@alexetchesgolf Definitely Blueprint vs Cobra MB at least, please!!
@@CosmicApe Yes, vs. Cobra King MB/CB
I would like to see them v Titliest MB, may aswell test them v the most bladey blade you can get.
I have for many many years only hit mizuno irons... It's true that nothing else feels like them.
Put them up against any mizuno iron u wish and the mizuno will feel better 😝
How’s about this against the Miura baby blade? Can’t find any reviews on the latest baby blades!
One big quuestion do they come with graphite shaft or no?
There is an upcharge for some shafts. I have a set of Blueprints on order, and it was $25 extra per club to get Project X 6.5 Rifle shafts. Just a warning, went from 1800 to 2000.
I have the newest Ben Hogan FT. Worth irons and they’re buttery smooth. I do love these Pings too though.
I’ve got the i500’s Al, how much smaller are these compared to the 500’s?
Alex, are you boys stocking the Wilson staff players irons. Trying to find these in Australia is like looking for rocking horse shit...
The only thing that bothers me is I have had 8620 forged irons before after about a year of use the 8620 is softer & gets dented compared to 1025 which is harder. I do not know if Ping has done a special treatment to the finish for durability. All clubs look great new, after a couple of years which set retains it's finish quality?
Great video I got shocked by first 40 second and then I finish watching it
First time I try i500 and loved it so
I ordered blueprint two weeks a go and still waiting ( lefty expected)
Looks amazing
Let’s see
What is your club head speed? To get 200 yards with that loft and a 7 iron seems crazy long
7 Iron - normal speed 95-105
Versus Wilson Staff please Mr AE......OR Callaway Apex Pro 19 Forged.....You're welcome.
I second the wilson staff, beautiful and underappreciated in the market. Probably mizunos on the other side would be good too, as a guide against the softer forged blade.
Alex, golf is supposed to be fun and I enjoy the humor you bring along with solid, real reviews. Between the Blueprint and Mizuno 921, which would you choose? I am a 15 hc, and play blades now. Not that I am good enough, but they force me to concentrate and reward better shots which hopefully will make me a better golfer. Do you agree? Awesome video as always!
Love the video. I would be interested in seeing this compared to the TaylorMade P710 or the Mizuno iron blades of this year.
Good choices
Blueprint v iBlade v i210 would be a fun test. In fact testing the entire PIng range against each other would be fun
I would love to see this vs the Cobra Forged MB
Would you prefer buying a set of Ping irons fitted to your optimum lie angle and would you buy another set of blades and bend them 2-3 degrees upright? Asking since I understand Ping irons have the same "offset" no matter what lie you choose, but other irons are made in the same offset, which is changes if you bend them.
Compare with mp18 or 919tour. Great vid!
a beauty contest between these and the MP18's...tell me a better comparison. I'll wait.
It would be nice to see a comparison with the MP18
YES!!!
Great stuff! I'd like to see Blueprint vs Staff Model and/or Callaway Apex MB
Compare it to the iBlade, please. I find it would likely produce relatively similar numbers and feel.
Compare against Ping i210s - interested in difference in feel.
I know I'll get some flack on this, but I'd like to see the blueprints vs i500 (with the power spec lofts) to get the contrast in carry distance and ball flights.
can you please compare it to the apex mb18 from callaway
Vs the apex mb or taylormade p730
I think pings release of the tech is right on time. Forged blade right along with movable weights in the driver. The blueprint irons are sexy as hell and hit so so so smooth. Yes it's a blade but I would go as far as a 10 hcp can play it. Great job ping. #teamping baby
I would like to see these up against the p730s or p750s due to similar "hardness" of the irons, and the better players iron. As always, a fantastic video
Sounds like a great test to me
Blueprint vs. Wilson Staff Model blades please
Loved the reviews for a long time! Keep up the great work! Would love to see these against the P730 or P7TW and the Mizuno JPX 919 Tour.
Thanks so much, mate! and NICE choice!
Once again you have me trying to hold my LOL, not to wake my kids.
The pings look so good but you mentioned something that other reviewers have not mentioned is the type of steel and the harder sounding/feeling of the irons. Also the $$$$$ could be a factor too.
Love to see this up against the TM TW and the Mizuno MP18 blades.
Ping blueprint vs p7 tw, both are supposed to have a slightly firmer feel, both are super expensive.
Both are firmer and feel very similar!
Very clever, I see you’ve taken a page out of Ping’s marketing for this iron with the reverse psychology “For Accomplished Ball Strikers Only” lol. People love being told what they can’t do so they can go ahead and do it lol. Sales will be off the charts!
My scientific term for this iron is "hubba hubba." 🤣🤣🤣
Great review. Just picked up a set
HUBA, HUBA!!!!!!
I was in a Pro shop this week and they had these Beauties next to the new TM P7TW and the Blueprints made them look like 10-Pint Mingers!!!!!!!!!!!!
Personally, I need all the Spaceships that you can get on an Iron, but even an "Owd Un" can dream of hitting these Stunners!!!!!!!
HAHA! Stunners they are
Wilson Staff Model blade or P7TW or even both ..love the content, keep up the good work 🏌️♂️
Thanks mate! and good choices
Compare them to the Titleist 718's. I would love to see that. Great review and i agree. I wanted to hate these but couldnt
@alexetches this video also got you a sub and a bell. Good content here
Number 6. Shooting lower scores will get you less strokes vs your buddies! Lol great review Alex! #TEAMAL
Put these up against the wilson staff blades.👍
Great review as usual, never had ping, got srixon z forged blades, 918 mbs and Wilson staff fg tour 100 blades and these seem right up there , time will tell, 👍
The only part of it which stops me messing my pants is the screw port with the tungsten weight...Why a screw port..??
MP 18 or the new Wilson Blades
👍
Callaway Apex comparison would be great.
Great irons!
Great vid mate love your different approach . Up against the new Wilson staff irons
Chris Chaffey thanks very much mate :)
Vs the MP-18 please, Sir!
Great choice!
might be hard to get but the new wilson staff blade
Vs the Mizuno 919 forged or tour would be interesting.
Acoustics are bit different when you hit it Alex - lol
Look like great clubs put them up against mp18
Comparison with these vs. the P7TW would be fantastic, but not very useful for the real world. My vote would be for the Blueprint vs. Wilson Staff Blade showdown. Make it happen Al!
Compare it to Ben Hogan ptx PRO or ft.worth black
Ping Blueprint vs PXG 0311T Please
Z Forged or MP18 vs Blueprint.
OOOO! very good
MP18 every time
Definitely need to see this against the Wilson Staff!!
Put it up against the Callaway Apex MB 18
Lovely
compare with the Mizuno mp-18.
They look great, have to go and have a swing see how good they feel.
Everyone is probably saying either the TM MB or the Mizuno MB. My vote is for the other top ping iron on the market I believe it's the 410. I'm sure this is going to perform very similar to another mb iron. Let's see it against the best ping has to offer.
Nice mate. Different choice
i'am personaly in love with those irons
Blueprint against new Wilson Staff blade please
Best review Eva!!!
Awesome awesome vid Al. This iron (fitted) vs your gamers all day is the match up I want to see. Loving the new channel and content. Hysterical Al.
Was expecting him to say “just kidding, here are the 5 real reasons” 8620 steel being alloyed is probably his only valid reason, sick moves bud
Has to be Wilson staff blades v the blueprints
Lovely
Put them up against P730 or P760
Gotta be put up against the Mizuno JPX919 Tours surely!
Sounds good to me!
Ping v’s Wilson blade
On course!
Nice!
Compare with Wilson Staff Models!!
Wilson Proto
Srixon Z-forged
Thanks👍
Mizuno mp 18 mb for me. Great vid as always mate.
Thanks so much mate! NICE!
blueprint against the wilson staff model or callaway mb raw
Put it against the Cobra MB irons
Cobra Forged MB and P730/P7TW
Sounds good
All these new clubs every manufacturer comes out with all the time can’t replace solid good fundamental practice. Getting properly fitted and solid practice will do the best to improve your game. Some people try to buy a game and get disappointed after they shoot the same scores and make the same mistakes. New clubs are always nice but hard work pays dividends.
Vs Callaway apex mb or mizuno mp18
if you are in the market for blades do yourself a favor and go try the cobra mb's
I have tried them, not my favourite iron in the world but that's the best part about these kinds of irons: preference
A beatiful iron, i can;t wait to try it, hard to say after being a Mizuno man for years. I only hope it isn't as good as you say.
Wilson Staff Model and P7TW or P730
Love this video
Nice work
it's was funny
Jpx 919 tour vs blueprint vs wilson staff blades
Blueprint vs jr driver carved from a cave man’s........cave?? 🤯
But really vs either cobra forged mb or Wilson staff blades. Keep it up
MP18 and the iblade
Nice
Mizuno JPX 919-Tour or TaylorMade P730
Funny as always Alex, when you doing some putter reviews so we can see some glorious Australian weather, as is dog shit at the minute in Derbyshire
Titleist CNCPT will give it a proper run for its huge amount of money
Yes that would be my only gripe too, 8620 feels like junk, and are not true forgings. Thats why we use quality 1020 / 1025 Japanese forgings. There really is no other better feeling in irons. The ping irons look amazing though. Compare with the new Wilson blades .. also 8620 faux forgings.. :)
Wilson staff blades
Hopefully I can get them to test
NOTHING FROM PING HAS EVER SUITED MY EYE... BUT HMMMM THIS LOOKS INTERESTING
Oh compare it to P-TWs you know you want to...oh maybe Mizuno 919 Tour..Honma?🙄👍
You're right! I DO haha
v MP 18 please
Boom!
Love this 😀 just tested them at American golf ⛳ beautiful things
blue print vs Callaway apex MB.
Compare with the p7tw🇦🇺
Blue print vs Mp-18 vs Miura Mb-001
Tasty, not sure if I can get my hands on Miura thought
