The i230s are incredible. I love mine. Very soft (I think they sound softer than the Titleist T series tbh), consistent, durable, and a nice high flight in the mid to long irons. They are a non-combo combo set with their progressive design. They are very stable if you miss slightly towards the toe. The BP-S are awesome too, can combo with i230 easily, but they are ~CAD 2600 for a set which is really pricey.

G430 irons are the most underated irons imo. I've seen a 6 hdcp and 22 hdcp game them and improve by an avg of 2 to 6 strokes per round!

Just got the i530's in retro spec. I hit the stock 7 iron with 29* of loft and I was hitting it around 215 yards. I opted for the retro spec because they are 2* weaker. Ended up in standard length, orange dot (2 flat), and the shaft is S300 120g. My club head speed said I should be in an X100 but I really liked the release of the S300. Gave me a tighter dispersion as well. I could hit the i230 and the Blueprints but I really liked the feel of the i530 and I like the additional forgiveness of the i530.

i530 and i230 are both very balanced irons. But Blueprint S is a dream club for most mere mortals lol.

I've just taken delivery of G 730 irons to replace my G irons (no number). The offset is exactly the same and so no dramas there. The 5i goes as far as my G4hybrid so there's a saving in the bag. At the bottom end I go W, U, 50 and my Glide 3 54/14 wedge. At the top end I'm thinking of ditching the G 3w and 3h for a 430 5w. After all, I can't get home in two shots on par 5s and the 5w is so much easier to hit.

Neil, FYI some of us strike the ball worse than our handicap suggests 😄
Cheers ⛳️

THANK YOU FOR THIS I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SUCH INSIGHTFUL INFORMATION ON THE LINEUP! Just bought my new pings !

Pings have always been a little quirky - loved my Ping Eye 2 sand wedge (square grooves) - and no drain plug.

As a 18 handicap I’m hitting my 7 iron about 165. I’m playing Nike Vapor Flys currently. I’m not a fan of hollow body clubs because I get a lot of hot flyers (sometimes I’ll hit for example 9 iron and fly it 160) and I have inconsistent gapping. Is the 230 too far out of my wheelhouse?

[ryancampbell]

Great video. So where does the I59's sit, between blueprint and i230's?, (did I miss it in video?) was hoping to see the 59's in here aswell

I am 60. I am playing Cleveland halo launcher halo xls. I am out growing my Clevelands. I practice on my weak spots 3 times a week and play once or twice a wk. I have bad arthritis in both knees and left hip is replaced. and it affects my practice schedule. Would these G430 be a good set for me? I am playing the Ping 1&3# woods and 3# Crossover. Or is there something out there you could recommend?

[blakeg.]

What makes you think you'll get a "jumper" with the i530? Was there evidence of that in your testing or just something that has been reported on in the past of similar type irons?

[tomdelia]

Another great video. Very informative. Awesome duo. A++++

[johnwagner]

Just recently got fit into i530s...just waiting for them to come.in..lol

[johnlowe]

Great video I have G425 irons 16 handicap would it be advisable to go to the G430 or I530?

[mickritchie]

Like the look of the 230 and 530 irons but have always been put off by the hard feel/ sound

[homeya]

Im down to P790 & Mizzy Pro 245 for looks, feel, and still good forgiveness, do any of these raise the bar high enough to compete with these 2?

[JjJj-yweu]

May I ask, what mat are you using now? You mentioned it's softer.

[paulmcgee]

Just fitted into g430’s (hl), worked better for me than g730’s. Light shaft.
