The i240 fitting heads and Modus 115 shafts arrived today at my course. I work in the golf shop so I got some time to hit the club, outdoors ,range balls on grass. I currently play i230 ,modus 105S. I hit the new i240 ,my gamer and a fitting cart Blueprint S. There was light rain so I did not our launch monitor, no data so just impressions.
Looks. Compared to the i230 and Blueprint it looks a little busy. I don't dislike it.
Size. The blade is slightly longer and not as tall as the i230 . The top line ,to me looks very similar. At address looking down, they (i230/i240) look basically the same. The BP is smaller than both.
Feel. the i240 has a slightly firmer feel than the i230. For me it was noticeable. The i230 has a more muted feel. The BP feels better than both!
Performance. With no data , what I saw was very similar distance from all 3. My Arcos data says I avg slightly over 160 yds with my 7 Iron. Perhaps a higher launch with the i240 but honestly again ,all 3 were very similar. As for forgiveness, the i240 felt better on thin shots compared to the i230. Both are more forgiving than the BP, but IMO, not by much.
We have a Ping Fitting day on Saturday. It will be interesting to see the spin rate and distance of the i240. After playing the i230 for over a year, I'm thinking about a switch to graphite. If I get a new set I'll go with i240 5,6 and maybe 7. BP 8.9 PW. The BP feels very nice and its plenty forgiving for my 5.7 cap.
