I LOVE these clubs. Was shooting in the 100''s last year. Shot a 77 this year, my lowest round ever. Shoot in the 80''s fairly often. If I putted better, average scores would improve. Of course I am also putting a better swing on the clubs, mainly by swinging slower. The ball carries very well. Distance is solid. They are very forgiving on toe hits. On some toe hits, not much distance is lost at all. On the bad ones, you lose about a half a club length. The clubs (stiff shaft, white dot) and fitting have improved the straightness of my shots tremendously. The look of the clubs greatly inspires the all-important aspect of confidence. I am much more confident then ever before. They are a bit expensive, but worth it. I plan to hold on to them for a long time.

Great set of clubs!! Looks good, feels great. I went to the golf store and the guy helped pick out the right specifications for my swing. I couldn''t be happier with these clubs. It has improved my game by almost 20 strokes. Let me tell you, it''s all about the equipment. I would recommend these clubs to anyone looking to upgrade.

These clubs have a clunky feel when hit on the sweet spot- an almost hollow sound. Head was far too light and I hit them one to one and a half clubs shorter than any set I have ever played. They were high and straight on full shots. Trouble shots, chipping, pitching from inside 100 yards- forget it, no consistency whatsoever. Good clubs for people who really just play once a month I suppose.

Customer Service

very good

The greatest thing about these clubs is their resale value. I intend to trade them in soon or sell them and go with a less expense set of clubs or used Eye-2s.

The reviews are probably accurate for some people. I purchased this set with great enthusiasm based on the reviews but made the mistake of not testing them out first.

For me personally, the clubs are very heavy. I’m 5’-6.5” and I really have to muscle these clubs. I had a friend of mine, who is about 6’ something or other, give it a go and he also stated they were way on the heavy side. I have also talked to some pros and, while shopping some of the sales people, and off the record most of them agree that they are heavier than other clubs.

I started playing instead with some Eye-2s and the weight difference is extremely noticeable. But my game is tremendously better.

So for me at least it’s not working. Not to say they are bad clubs, they just don’t fit my style.

Unfortunately, I haven’t read any other reviewers state this so, with so many other people reporting this, why haven’t any of the reviews on this site ever mentioned this “feature”?

Great clubs. They are very forgiving, give you a great feedback while being soft, and I find them much more balanced than other sets I've tried; my swing and timing on the ball is more natural. For me they work great. Great great clubs.

I have played for approx. 8 years now, and have only played 2 rounds with the new i3's. They are amazing, shots off the toe or heel still in play, they are the most forgiving irons, great for a confidence boost.

Model Reviewed: Ping i3 O-size

I started the game about 18 months and have been playing with my graphite shaft Mizuno Notus. The Notus although itself has a cavity face, has all the blade characteristics and as a novice golfer I was having trouble controlling it.
I noticed that the i3 received great reviews here and decided to give it a try. Over here, you buy clubs off the shelf and seldom have the luxury to demo them like in the states. I bought these steel shaft clubs entirely on trust on the overwhelming review received here. I got them 3 days ago and have tried them at the range and on course and they are marvellous. Previously almost all my long irons shots were mishits but now they are clean like a whistle and I am confident with my 3 and 4 irons as they consistently delivers! They are everything other reviewers said they are, if not better. Truely forgiving and yet very responsive. They already lowered my score by at least 5 to 10 strokes. I am sure the longer I play with them, the better my game will become.

Amazing forgiveness, especially on fat or thin shots. I don't know how many times my partners have said "nice shot," remarking at the results, when I knew I hadn't hit the ball well. So many mishits still find the green.

Shoot in the 80s

I've played Taylor Made forged irons for several years. I received a bonus at work and decided to pick up a set of the Ping i3 O-size. I can't believe the difference it's made in my game. I've taken 6-8 strokes off of my game already this season and am now shooting in the 70s again. The best thing about the O-size is its amazing forgiveness. You have to really try to hit a poor shot. It's definitely difficult to move the ball... but once you get used to hitting the ball straight, you're fine. In summary, these are the best irons I've ever hit. I highly recommend them if you're either in the market for a new set or, like myself, haven't upgraded your technology in awhile. You'll love em.
