Today from the Forums sees WRXer nyjets1 who has been having trouble deciding between Ping’s i500 and i210 irons. Per nyjets21: “Love the feel of the 210 but the distance gains and the looks of the 500 are on a whole new level. I’ve read all the threads, and I’m more confused than ever. I’m now putting in the hands of my fellow WRXers; please help me make a decision.”

Our members have been helping out nyjets21 by discussing the benefits of each iron set and insights from their own experiences using each iron set.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

• averysdad: “After I hit the i500’s, for me, I didn’t even waste my fitters time with the 210’s. For me, the i500’s felt great and sounded great, and the flight and distance were exactly what I was looking for. They look great in the bag and behind the ball; offset is minimal and dangit…I just like them. Could I have missed out not testing the 210’s…maybe…but I didn’t want to create the same issue you’re having. But for me in the end, I didn’t like the looks of the 210 near as much as the 500’s, and there’s something to that.”
• sambelo: “I went from i200 to i500 to i210. i500 performed great but hated the feel on anything other than pure strikes. i210 feels so much better. Gave up a few yards but worth it.”
• DavePelz4: “This is GolfWRX, so let’s just be honest. You’re going to end up owning both at some point so just buy both now and eliminate the head v heart concern.”
• kcsf: “I’ve found the i500’s to be forgiving to a fault. I’ve put a number of poor swings on mine, including one so bad off the toe the ball caught very little grooves, and it landed ~5 yards short and right. Much better result than I deserved. The feel isn’t butter if hit off center, but what club really does. You won’t be disappointed.”
• MattRemick: “I own both…. The same shaft in both, Had my lowest round ever my second round with the i500…. 9 iron had what I thought could have been a crack, Ping replaced it in less than a week…. I bought the i210s while I was waiting, today I played a round with the i210, I bought the i210 in power spec, I don’t see much difference in distance, but the i210 has a much softer feel… and it’s 30 degrees here in Jersey.”
