Our Ping i200 irons review took place at the Golf Shack at Moor Allerton in Leeds.
Our editor Dan Murphy was the best person for our Ping i200 irons review as a long-time Ping player and he had recently been to Tour X in Wigan for a custom-fitting.
He has been fitted into a Nippon NS Pro Modus 3 Tour 120 shaft in X flex.
Dan currently plays the Ping i irons and has had them in the bag for the past 18 months.
His shaft in those was the Project X pxi 6.0 but the fitter recommended he switch to the Nippon to better control his spin.
We monitored the results on Trackman 4 under the watchful eye of our resident pro James Whitaker.
Ping i200 irons – First impressions
Ping have kept us guessing to a certain extent with how the i series was going to develop.
When the i irons were released 18 months ago there was an E1 on the back of the face so we thought they might have just progressed with an E2 this time around.
It doesn’t really matter what they are called. We know the i irons will sit as number two in Pings range of four irons, in-between i-Blade and G with G-Max as their super game-improvement clubs.
There’s a bit more shelf appeal with the i200 compared to i and Dan thinks they look a little bit sleeker behind the ball.
It’s a finish closer to that of the i-Blade so again should blend in nicely with the Glide wedges.
