I've been playing a set of Callaway X-Tour forged irons for the past year, and have struggled to get consistent results out of them. I'm a 7 handicap, but I don't strike the ball in the center of the face often enough to produce predictable results. In the process of searching for the perfect set, I hit the Cleveland CG4 Tour, Ping S59 and S58 and the new Titleist AP1 (great set also). Finally, I figured I would give the Ping i10's a shot since I previously played the Ping ISI-nickels for 5 years and hit them well, and these seemed to be an upgrade to those. The difference being that my swing has changed significantly over that period of time, and there was a bit too much offset in the ISIs for my new swing. I had trouble working the ball and hitting my bread-n-butter shots. The i10 has less offset making it much more workable, but it's still a very forgiving iron. In fact, my misses are straight as a string, which I can live with. And to top it all off, the i10's have a much more attractive player's profile than any of the others I tried or played in the past. I've only played them for 1 week, but was -1 through the par 3's on a course that I usually expect to play them +1 or +2 (plus, it was a windy day). Definitely the most immediate results I've had out of any club change.

By the way, if the AP1 irons had more of a player's profile (more like the AP2's), I might have given them more of a serious look. Tough decision between those and the i10's. It really came down to sticking with what I know worked for me previously. These are definitely great clubs for anyone 12 hc and under who isn't the best ball striker.
