What GolfWRXers are saying about Ping’s i210 irons

In our forums, our members have been discussing Ping’s i210 irons with WRXer ‘Prov1Xercist’ considering a change to the clubs. Per ‘Prov1Xercist’:

“I’m currently in i-20s with KBS tour stiff. Looking at i210s. My typical miss is a little off the toe, and I play a draw. If anything, I would like a little more trajectory as I tend to be a lower ball player. I definitely prefer the KBS to any true temper or rifle shaft I’ve tried. I don’t know my iron swing speed, but I hit my eight iron 155.

Based on this information will I like the i210s? If so, should I stay with the KBS tour or look at other shaft options to try to get more trajectory?”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts on the matter in our forum.

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.

hammergolf: “You should hit the i210 irons higher than i20. The i210 is a really forgiving head with high launch and slightly lower spin rate. They will definitely feel softer than your old irons also. I don’t think you cloud go wrong using the same shaft you have before, but really you should get fit to see your best option.”
High Draws Low Fades: “I play a draw and miss off the toe with my i210s like you. Also, need some help with height in the long irons. They’ve been great for me!”
Nessism: “Your 6 iron swing speed is likely in the mid-upper ’80s. i210’s are awesome. About as forgiving as an iron of its size can be. I think you would be safe to order some with the KBS Tour shafts. PX LZ shafts might also be worth a try since they are a no cost option and have similar weight and trajectory characteristics. They feel quite different from conventional PX shafts so don’t let the name put you off. In terms of “go get fitted” is concerned, it seems to me that your long past history of using i-series Ping’s is enough to put you in i210’s safely. Shafts are mostly about weight and feel. Some demo’s in a hitting stall so you can judge feel for yourself should provide reasonable assurance for an order.”
Argonne69: “I’m a low ball hitter w/ low spin, and I was fit with the i200’s (Retro lofts 2 degrees weak) with TT XP95 shafts. The XP95 is a high launching shaft with high spin. I previously played KBS Tour and Nippon 950GH’s, and the TT stacks up well against them. I hit my 8 iron 155 yds (total). As noted, the i210 is a little lower launching than the i200s. Perhaps you should consider the i200s. ‘Very little difference in feel IMO. The i210s may be a tad softer.”
Dayjobdave: “I don’t know if this helps, but when I was fitted for my i200’s my final choice on shafts was between the KBS and TT DG300s. I went with the TT because I’ve had them previously with good success, but honestly, I spent hours on the range hitting 7 irons with one of each that my pro set me up with, going back and forth, and I loved them both. I truly almost bought two sets because I couldn’t decide which I liked better. Even now a couple of years later remembering this, I’m laughing as during the test I said “this is the one” on each shaft at least a dozen times. If you like KBS shafts, I’m pretty sure you’ll love the i210’s with them.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. 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.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
