The i210 have 33 so that gives you one area where the two models differ. We’ve got 30.5 on the 7-iron which is closer to what we’d expect on a game-improvement iron like the G400. The i500 irons have pretty strong lofts for a players iron. Joel has worked in the golf industry for over 12 years covering both instruction and more recently equipment. Ping say you can expect metal-wood’ ball speed and forgiveness. The looks are stunning and the finish is consistent across all three, so there is undoubtedly scope to mix and max two or even three models within a set to get the blend of distance and forgiveness in the long irons, progressing into more feel and precision in the shorter irons. We much prefer the turf interaction of the P7MC, with its more rounded sole gliding through the turf with minimal snagging while the sharper leading edge on the P7MB tended to dig and take deeper divots, meaning you have to be more precise with the strike. The P7MC certainly offers a little more help on mishits and a touch more spring off the face, but the P7MB is one of the more playable blades we’ve tested in recent times while also feeling buttery soft. It was also very consistent and a little more workable, appealing to players that like to shape the ball.īoth the P7MC and P7MB were surprisingly forgiving for their respective sizes. The P7MC has a 7-iron of 34°, so it doesn’t quite have the firepower of the P770 but it does feel softer off the face, which the better player may well prefer. Interestingly though, it also produced the highest ball flight, flying a good 2-3 yards higher through the air than the P7MC and P7MB. The P770 feels a little more lively off the face than the others and spun a little less too, and with the 7-iron slightly stronger at 33° it naturally produced the longest carries.
