Any i210 users still out there?

[YAMS49]

Year 3 of I210's here. They aren't going anywhere soon. In fact I'm on the prowl for a second set, 

[realmfg]

Just brought my set out of the basement to start the year with.

After a wandering 1.5 years with Maltby TS1's, TS3's, TS-IM's, TM770, TM790, Mizuno 225's and Ping i230's, I am back to the Ping i210's. It just took me that long to realize that the consistency, accuracy and looks were what I needed the most.

 

I'm currently looking for a minty back up set, heads only if possible, 6-W,U. 

What was it that led you to prefer i210s over i230s?

Sound, feel, spin, consistency, looks (to my eye), blade shape.

 

All very subjective, but I'm the guy who matters. 🙂

No totally, I am too! I just am curious if you could be more specific on those points. Does one feel softer? Spin more? Which one looks bigger? And how are the blade shapes different?

The i210 is bigger. I'm tapped out on the explanations. LOL. I played the i210's before, so it's like going home, hard to describe the warm fuzzy feelings of sleeping in my old bed,  mom's home cooking, and getting to drive Dad's Mustang GT. And discovering that they still didn't know where I kept my stash.

Agree with the above, could never get on with the 230's. Turf interaction sucked (for me=fat shots) and forgiveness, no where near the 210. Heck Hovaland is still playing them, and thats good enough for me. As a back-up I also have G430's for when I want more forgiveness and distance.

I know @Redpro is sincere- he is the new owner of my i210's. I hope I don't regret this- the i210's just ticked all the boxes for me when it came to looks, sound, and feel. But after a winter range session I knew I was just more confident looking down on a G series iron, the shovels of choice for over 10 years now. It was only a matter of time before they found a new home. Hope they are what you were after, Redpro!

Thanks BiffTaco!

Why did you fully switch? I have 4-7 in i210 and was thinking about doing a combo with the blueprint s in 8-PW

 

My longest iron is a 5. With the BPS, the 5 and 6 are (relatively) easy to hit. So far I don't feel like I'm giving up anything with the BPS long irons. But I don't think you can go wrong with a combo either. 

[SetTheBarrHigh]

Year 5 with these guys. I had i230 for one round and immediately went back. 

[Cunniandy]

I210’s still going great for me!

[toastinato]

Just picked up a mint set of 4-P! Gamed them a few years ago and loved them. Can’t wait! 

[Trouble_shooter]

Goat irons. Missed the set by two weeks before being discontinued. Ordered a set, customized them, covid happened, they shut down the plant that they build them in vietnam. Dont know if ill ever get over that 🤣

[mikec3672]

I would also add that I have played with most of the i's, and the 25's were amazing, as were the ie1's, and even the 20's, and of course my original beloved i5's, but the 210's just look and feel a smidge better, and power spec'ed go far enough.

[Cellis]

Everyone still rolling with the i210? Really thinking about picking up a preowned set and making them my regular gamer. Recently hit a 4 iron out of someone's set and it felt amazing.

[thed0n]

I just put a set of i210s into play a month ago.  True story, my i230s were lost/stolen by FedEx in November.  I purchased a set of heads from another WRXer, and had my shafts installed.  Overall, performance is similar to i230s, but the i210s have a visually thinner top line and fly a little higher for me.  I’ll game the i210s for all of 2025.

[AngryGilmore]

I'm still rolling with the i210s and will continue to for the foreseeable future.  My backup set is BeCu Eye 2s.  Neither one will be replaced anytime soon.

[PaulY1177]

Sold my beloved i200 to a friend bc shaft was a bit light stock shaft was too weak to keep ball down well in wind etc or whatever excuse golfwrxers use to sell irons that work great! Regretted almost immediately. Have a set of zx7 OGs and just picked up i210s both with x100 to directly compare.  I suspect i210s will win and zx7s will stick around for short set fun. Fun comparison!

On my third set because I kept being stupid and sold them. Bought this set of I210's (Black dot). Played them off and on for half the year but a lot of shots would just go left. Thought it was a swing issue with a big pull. Had the lie checked and found the lie was 3 degree upright. Was going to sell them but sent them to Ping for power spec and lie change (red dot). Should have them back next week.   

[tekin112000]

I have a set of i200s, went to the club fitter thinking I would fall in love with i530s and happily upgrade.

 

Never saw big improvement

 

Kept the i200s, not sure if I'm ever gonna change

How much did it cost for ping to adjust the lie?

[pingeye]

Shipping $$ on my side to them, their cost is ~$59.00 which includes return shipping.

picked up a set of i210's excited to try them out!

[vanya]

Big regret selling my i210s. Have had i230and currently using BPS since the i210s. Awaiting the next gen I series eagerly and hoping they are more i210 style than i230. I think BPS are friendly enough to allow Ping to do a slightly larger long irons than they did with the i230s without creating too big a gap to the BPS. 
Still monitor eBay hoping I might see a decent set of i210s in my spec tbh.

what is it about the 210's that you like much better than the BPS and 230's?

[blt2280]

Yes still using 210. Bought the zxi7... and sold the zxi7... cant wait for next I240  to come out!

[SwooshLT]

OP here...... and I just ordered ANOTHER SET!!! This is cray cray 😜 

[Bike_Voucher]

I’m still in them. Picked up a set of zx5/zx7 mkII combos and after a few rounds I keep side eyeing the i210s. 
 

playing 9 this morning and i210 are getting the nod.
