I have played the G10 for two years, and have progressively lost distance with these clubs. I have a love hate relationship. The four iron is not in the bag. I do love the wedge, and the G10 can hook or draw like no other club. But, don't try and fade them for even more loss of distance. |

Just bought a new G10 for $430. Very easy to hit and very forgiving. Mis-hit goes straight but there is a 10-15% loss of distance. This is not the softest set of irons I've hit but if you strike the ball well, it feels solid. I don't really care if this model is 2 years old as the technology is still very much relevant. The best part I like is the custom fitting for lie angle. Being of a smaller built, I find most irons are at least 1-2 degrees too upright. Ping allows me to get the correct lie angle thru it's color coding. Workmanship is first class. Fantastic value for money. Customer Service very good Similar Products Used: Callaway |

Ping G10 irons
For the last 4 years I've shot mid 70's to low 80's. I have a pretty decent swing and almost always strike the ball pure and because of this I've played with blades feeling these are the clubs I've earned the right to play. Truth is, I've always enjoyed hitting cavity back irons more than blades, especially the "game improvement" irons. To me, the larger cavity back clubs feel more balanced, more weighted and inspire a lot of confidence. I decided to make the switch to the G10's when I saw that game improvement irons were becoming more widely used on tour. K.J. Choi is now playing with G15 irons, 4-PW. The G10's are constructed very well and I really like the look and feel of these clubs. The wide soles play through the rough pretty easily and a thick topline inspires confidence. My set has the Z-Z65 stiff flex shafts that keeps the ball down to a mid-high ball flight and minus 2 degrees lie. Definitely get fitted. It's free and takes about 20 minutes. I could never play a club off the shelf. I personally have not noticed much distance loss or shaping capabilities since changing over to the G10's. I have however, noticed that I enjoy hitting my irons alot more. While blades seem to stay the same over the years, cavity back clubs seem to be receiving the bulk of modern day engineering efforts. Ironically, many people don't have an issue embracing a crazy-looking mallet-style putter or an oversized, weighted driver that's been engineered to the max for forgiveness and accuracy all whilst holding onto their blades or similarly dated-styled irons. Game improvement irons are finally beginning to have their day in the sun and I believe it won't be long before the label of "game improvement" goes away and these type of irons become the norm for many more golfers of all skill levels, including pros. The G10's are a real winner and I think Ping continues to make huge strides in the development and playability of their irons. Way to go, Ping!

Just to get tings straight right off the bat, I don't care for the opinions of sod laying choippers choppers. But I am looking at a set of G10 knockoffs and hoped to find a credible review to help me decide. Thankfully Jimmy decided to write a review here, which I know I can trust just by the what he wrote, so I may take a closer look at these clubs. For the choppers who posted their reviews here (the rest of you) please do us all a favour and keep your ill informed opinions to yourselves. You are just poisoning the wells for the real golfers.

I owned a set a G5 iron I picked up used. I was playing them for about a year and was happy with them. One day I had some time so I stop in Edwin Watts Golf in Concord NC to get a Ping Fitting. It turned out my G5`s had a shaft that was much to light and the lie angle was wrong for my swing. After talking about changing shafts and lie angles I decided it would be better to trade in my G5`s and buy a new set of G10`s with the correct set up for my swing. EW had a new set for $449.00 not bad. Two days later a got to play and WOW. I spent about 15 mins on the range and right away I knew I was going to be a good day. I think getting fitted was the smartest move I ever made for my game. I shot a 82 with a few missing putts. Customer Service Always been great Similar Products Used: G2`s and G5`s . |

G10 Graphite
I had these clubs going on two years. I bought them from Golfsmith where I was MIS-fit for a grapite shaft even though I was 46 yrs old with a swing speed in the mid 90s for my driver and I hit a 7-iron 150 yards.
Customer Service Customer service has been good although a litle slow when fixing a shaft. Maye they ae just fixing alot of shafts. |

G 10 Yellow dot +1/1/2"
I bought these last October and I prefer to use any club awhile before I review them. After a short winter lay off I'm back playing again and the G-10s are serving me as well as they did last November. I do now vouch for them and I'm very happy I bought them. I wasn't planning on buying new irons but with a sales price the result of the new G-15s coming out and the fact from the first hit I had to. I had developed a hook with my old Nikes the last two years I could never get rid of entirely. From the first time out with the G-10s it was gone. For that alone they were worth buying, but I hit them farther too which was a big surprise for I went back to the heavier steel shafts from graphite with the Slingshots. On top of that I hit a G-15 the other day at the local golf expo and I like my G-10s better which makes my sales price paid even sweeter. I almost bought the Ping G-2s instead of the Nike Slingshots in 2004, looking back I wish I would've Customer Service They were a week late in arriving and golfsmith to their credit gave me a $50 gift certificate for waiting.

Ping g10 irons
Just got my new set of G10 irons blue dot +1/2 AWT stiff steel w/ cushion. I couldn't be happier!!! I'm a club junkie and have hit literally every iron out there and came to the conClusion that I love PING irons. I've played cobra and lately taylormade mostly but I've hit callaway a ton. The feel of the pings is unequalled. The callaway comes close but I like the construction ofthe stainless steel and the durability othe G10. some will say they don't likethe looks I think they look sweet and different. Like everyone else pls go get fitted take five minutes and is worth it's weight in gold. I'm 6'2 and played standard forever and adjusted my swing and now that I dont have to do that anymore I cant wait for the strokes to just come off. Get Fitted hit these clubs once and you'll be hooked. And the cushions make them a D 2 swing weigh which i loved and the feel is awesome ever hit is soft. GET eM Ebay 350 bucks can't beat it. Customer Service Awesome!!! Similar Products Used: Cobra Fp 2 2008, callaway x-20, taylormade rac/r7 ping G 5. ect ect |

Ping G10
I'm probably the best golfer on these boards so if you want to read a review that is "dead on", I suggest this one. The people at my club often say that I'm the best shotmaker they've seen, including pros. That being said, I liked the Ping G10 iron. It has a crisp feel and the ball launches off of the face. You can work these clubs as well. The AWT stiff shaft leaves a little to be desired and I would special order the Z-Z65 for myself. I play blades because I'm that good but for those of you who 4 and above handicappers I'd suggest the G10. |
