Ping i3 + Iron set Golf Club

I won these in an auction on ebay. They are regular flex, graphite shafted, green dot (2* UP) with orange code grips. I did the static fit on Ping.com and previously had a local professional fit me dynamically. These were perfect match for me, except for the regular flex. However, I found that by working on tempo and not trying to kill the ball, I am able to gain considerable distance and accuracy over my old irons (Titleist DCI 990).

My point is this; get a solid fitting in before you buy any irons. They might be a good deal, but there is a reason Ping fits you to the club.

About the i3+ irons. These irons play well. I found it easy to shape shots from right to left. It was a bit more difficult left to right, but I've never been able to do that well anyhow. Because I was able to let the club hit the ball and control my tempo better, the ball flight was consistent and the carry was, too. My accuracy has increased dramatically, as well. Especially from the 8 iron down to the pitching wedge. The shot trajectory is much higher and softer landing with these and I don't get a lot of roll. Again, especially from the 8 iron down.

I attribute a lot of the improvements to the chnge in my tempo, but I give the Ping i3+ the credit for helping me change the tempo of my swing and really feel what I am doing with the shot except the swing weight on the i3+ seems a bit lighter than that of other irons I have hit. That would be the only downside I can see. Mishits are not so bad either. You really have to shank the ball or leave the clubface open to mess a shot up with these.

Expect to pay more for the various graphite shafts. The Ping custom WRX clubs are usually more as well. If you find a set of i3+'s with a matching sand wedge, jump on it because the sand wedges are hard to find individually.

In addition, if you are not very good at the long irons (2,3, and 4) you may want to look at the G5 hybrids.

Be careful when bidding. There are some demo clubs floating around out there. Check with the seller for serial numbers as all Ping consumer clubs have them. Pay attention to feedback scores. This is Ebay's barometer of service. I swear by the feedback system.

I hope you find this info helpful.
