Own the I230s. Best iron I've hit. Dispersion is tighter and lots of feedback off the face. Plenty of spin and stopping power on the greens for me. Best money I've spent as I'm seeing more greens now without fliers or inconsistencies.
I hit the i230s and loved them! I’m not a better player at all, but there was loads of forgiveness and loved less offset (than my G425s) since my miss is pull/hook. I hit the i230s much better than the game improvement irons. These shouldn’t be marketed to just better players or as Players irons imo. A higher handicapper that doesn’t slice can definitely game them!
thats what i gathered as i recently bought some older MP4s, they are blade, but super easy to hit. this connotation that only low/scratch can use blades needs to go out the window.
I just hit both, both are great feeling clubs but man those p770's are absolute MAGIC! For me the dispersion was ridiculously tight and consistent. I also love the smaller head and forged feel since I'm coming out of blades
Just finished testing out ping i230 irons. I’m 10 handicap and have to say best clubs I have ever hit. The only ones that I can say felt similar were the Wilson Fg tour V6 irons. Those were forged and ping being cast. Hats off to ping with the i230.
I got fitted for literally 3 hours today. Out of a dozen clubs I was stuck between these two. As a PING fanboy it was super hard but I had to go with the P770s. When I hit them sweet they just felt better. Both superb irons.
I’ve changed a few times and hit most irons out today and the i230 is by far the best I’ve hit. Accuracy and distance control is vastly improved. I had to forget the looks and my brand preference and just hit it and it was an easy decision to switch
The only thing that confuses me about the i230 is the higher bounce. I guess this is good for someone who has a negative angle of attack but not sure how it would affect a sweeper? I do like how easy these are to launch and they do go fairly straight, even with off centre hits.
Go to the I230 . You will not be disappointed. I mix 2 sets together , i525 and the i230's. Consistency and stopping power on the greens are unmatched .
@@richb326 I have the 16 Apex Pro irons and was in the mood for new gear last year. Tried the i230s but wasn't thrilled with the feel. Might have been the shafts we were trying, tbh, but we did try a couple. They looked awesome to my eye and I wanted to like them, but I just didn't. That said, I've worked my a$$ off in lessons and practice so my swing is noticeably better now. I'm killing my Apexes but am once again having the itch to try something new. Will give the 230s another go as well as MIzuno and the new Apex pro version.
My clubs were stolen so I’m in the unfortunate position of needing to buy new everything. Even a bag. I’m thinking about the 770s for irons even though I’ve only owned Ping, Mizuno and Ben Hogans in the past. I’d be coming from butterknife blades, but I want something more forgiving now. I don’t have as much time to practice as I used to. 770s seem like a decent compromise
The i230 was a big disappointment for me it was brick hard not in the same league as the I 210 the p770 wasn’t much different to the first p770 which has a much better feel cheers jj
Nice reviewe but those irons are too blase and plain...Can't get inspired to play them. Wilson Staff D9 and Mizuno 225 are come get me irons...Thanks..
I don’t get the hype with the i230’s, I had a demo half set and thought they were much harder and louder of the face than my Mizuno 921 forged that are 18 months old. I really wanted to like them as I loved the look but they’re just not for me. I’d even say the much older i210’s felt better
@@nicholas1460 I believe there is also weighting plugs in the hosel so there isn’t just toe weight. A little weight in the toe can also help with stability on shots out of the toe and overall perimeter weighting helps with overall MOI
@@ahastar1141 Yea, I get it. Had to think about it a bit. The clubs with 4 or 5 screws just put me off the whole screw thing, but I have to respect Ping's engineering team.
It’s for swing weight and moi, it’s tungsten which is heavier than steel. It’s also great for swing weight adjustments when they build clubs because they aren’t adding weight to just the hosel of an iron but can disperse it to the toe as well which makes it more balanced thus improved moi

Still liking them??
@George-cz9go I'm actually playing the Mizuno JPX 923 tours now. Just as good as the pings but with better feel.
I hit the i230s and loved them!

most high handicap slice or hook no?
@@chuckyl3978
My point was if you’re a slicer then maybe you want more offset.

I have been fitted into the i230 or P790. I don’t like the idea of ‘distance clubs’ just club up?
Don’t go p790 if you don’t like the idea of distance clubs, they are low spin distance cheats

When you say “higher bounce” is that in comparison to the Taylor Made as the i230 has the same bounce as it’s predecessor the i210?
@@kyleericson9777 yes comparing to other competitor irons
I currently play i210, and looking for a new set for next year; I’d have either of these in my bag

Tried the i230 yesterday and didn’t give me much of a reason to change. However Mizuno pro 225 was 🔥

I’ve hot both. i230 my pick. P770 tend to dig through the ball. For now I’ll stick with MP20-MB’s and take the extra help from the i230’s next year.
For me Ping as stability and performance are important 👍🏻
How would you compare i230 vs T100? Which would you choose?
You can't be any closer than this. Surprising.
I 230 ARE BUTTER 🧈 I LOVE THEM !!
Ping 3-5 iron are actually are slimmer and cast different from the rest of the set 6-PW.

Think i230 @31.5 degree 7 iron loft or zx5 .
They are 33 degree

I felt the exact same way.
Why the screws?
Swing weight and MOI I think?
@@lkae4 I really dislike the aesthetics of the screws. Also, it's a strange thought to have the toe weighted extra. What does this help or prevent?

33 degree 7 irons launching at 20 degrees? Clubhead issue or tester needs to work on his compression?
I230 is one of the best irons I've ever hit in my life. But as a digger, my Srixon ZX7/ZX5 combo may be better.
What’s your handicap, and what’s the combo?
The Ping iron is so ugly compared to P770
It's funny how perception is. I felt the other way. Love the simplicity of the Ping but go figure, I also really like the P790 looks.
Pls Work on Your Sound .
