I loved them after a first fitting then I made a second fitting and bought them. But with the retro loft. I’m not a fan of these new loft. The I530 5 iron has the same loft (22 degrees) than my Ping Eye 2 3 iron back in the old days. This is too weird for an 69 years old man like me. Besides, since I still can hit 145-150 yards with a 7, I’m not looking for distance but for balls as straight as possible (even with not sot so good shots) and as less dispersion as possible. This is exactly what I get with these I530, I love them.
Nice review. 3 loft options is not new for Ping, neither are the micromax grooves. My i525 has them too, just one more on the 7i. Which makes sense as the i530 blade has been made lower (especially at heel side by the looks of it). I do agree the clubhead tends to feel light-ish - I got fitted into the stock graphite i525 with non standard swing weight to improve that feel. I can also confirm the extra wedge effect for its predecessor.
You can mix an match the lofts proper fitting id do more loft 5 and 6 iron then maybe fit in the 7 8 and change the loft on 9 and pw ...depending on numbers
All the walking towards and away from the camera is mildly distracting. I found myself paying attention to that and focusing less on what you were saying. You're way to fast to be an i530 player, even in retro lofts. You would be a Blueprint, S59, or i 230 player, but I imagine that you know that already.

Just bought a mint set of PXG 0311 P gen 3 irons amazing clubs front to back dispersion is off the charts good, & feel soft , no jumpers !
Nice, its easy to add weight to the head, with those tungsten weights., makes it easy to get it up to your perfect swing weight ,

Tried a 7 iron against my own 425 iron and saw no difference

Good review
its ok Ping i530...im a little bit chunkier as well
They look good but when at address and looking down it says 6 iron. I would most likely do retro loft.

Th e 7 iron at 31 should be fine...on order.!
1.52 smash for a 7 iron?!? 83.3 club 127.3 ball speed.
