Ping iBlade: Most forgiving blade? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing Ping’s iBlade. WRXer ‘m_w’ recently tested out the iron from Ping and was blown away from his experience, saying:

“I went to hit the i59s today – lovely looking iron, great spin. Very comparable to the Callaway Apex Pro 21, in my opinion.

Before I left I went to hit the iBlade, which I had never hit before. Great feeling iron. I absolutely smoked it. How can an iron this small be so forgiving? Is it just the honeymoon period where you think you found the holy grail, or can others confirm that the iBlade is extremely forgiving? Honestly felt as if not more forgiving as a Mizuno JPX Forged or Callaway Apex. Am I crazy?”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts on the blade, with many holding the same opinion.

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.

BostonWRX: “One of the best irons made IMO. Insanely forgiving for the size and look awesome in the bag.”
Longballjock: “I love my I Blades; got the i200 in 4&5 irons but could have easily played the iBlade in those clubs tho. I have typically played smaller irons.Titleist 670 MB, Nike VR TW, AP2, Taylormade MB, Nike Vapor Pro. Out of everything these irons defo perform the best when my swing is not firing on all cylinders. I will go test the new i59 but reckon these will be in the bag for 2022.”
sbolitho: “The iBlade is still the best iron Ping has ever made (would have loved a set of s-55’s though, missed out there). I have a set and they are as good as anything in the players cb/mb category.”

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.
