My uncle plays with the i210s and loves them. Never liked the design of them though. Intentionally so or not, the look is a little flat and the i230s look no different. Worse if anything.

Personally I'm a little confused as to who these irons are aimed at.
They look so similar to the i525

i230s are a players iron so good ball striking and looking to shape the ball more.
Scotland Golf weekend booked next year, playing Gullane, Gleneagles and St Andrews, just need to get myself in a place where I can comfortable walk 4 rounds of golf over 4 days.
Safe to say my handicap is creaping up ever closer to 14 now, started at 7. Shocking

Are the i59 not a players iron also?
They appear to be an i210 replacement. It's a shame they're not forged

yeah - probably High to low handicap the range is
G525/i230/i59/Blueprint but you can mix them up as I know a 3 handicapper playing with G425 irons. He didn't get on with the old i210's
Nice enjoy - which courses ? There's 3 at Gullane / 4 at Gleneagles and about 9 at St Andrews!!
Good point - I didn't know SA has 9, jesus.Nice enjoy - which courses ? There's 3 at Gullane / 4 at Gleneagles and about 9 at St Andrews!!
Gullane, 1
Gleneagles, Kings
St Andrews, Castle
Going to mooch about the Old Course on Sunday and get a photo on the Swilcan with my pops.
Yeah but I've always put those in the bladed players irons category. PING are becoming similar to Titleist now with yearly releases and range on release cycles.

Amazing mate. I hope I'm one day good enough to justify a trip like that. I'd do it tomorrow if it was up to me, but holding players behind up as I try to find lost balls twice a every few holes might ruin the vibe a little xD

More Friday golf, after last Sunday my chest/ribs were a bit sore so thought I'd pulled something so no mid-week golf but thought it was good enough for today but nope, especially towards the end it was getting quite sore/almost painful to swing which doesn't help 
On the plus side actually wore my new golf shoes for the whole round, last week I walked 18 holes on Saturday with non-golf shoes and on Sunday with the buggy I started in the golf shoes but with my backup option which I changed into around hole 7, today was much better with them so all good
Scored 122, definitely not playing well as I was stiff in the backswing from the start so not too unhappy really. Now off to see family so not playing Sunday but that's a good thing, hopefully it won't take too long to clear up...

Out today weather mostly wasn't too bad through my way, course is really soft currently but still holding up pretty well.
Not a medal today but scored 77 off the yellows which is about -7 nett for me. 42 stableford points in the closing medal last week and finished 2nd, I seem to have hit a bit of form.
I'd signed up for a block of lessons and interestingly the guy wants me to be more upright in posture, shoulders more back and pelvis more forward facing (instead of pointing down) It seems really strange for me as I'm about 6ft 3. My irons now feel like they are about an inch too short but it's made such a difference to my ball striking and consistency.

Haha well I was beaten by a point so not quite bandity enough!!
I'm still playing at Glenbervie near Falkirk, 10years there now and still not won a medal. 2023 will be the year though! If you fancy a game through here next season give me a shout mate

Got out for nine holes this afternoon, just about made it home before the darkness really set in (15:18 tee off). Shot my best score so far!
Didn't deserve too as I thinned nearly every shot, despite striking it solid on my range warm up. However keeping the ball advancing and only really making a mess of one hole, a 9 on the longest par 5, kept the score down. Four doubles and four singles made up the rest.
Highlight was nearly chipping in on the 3rd from around 35 yards. Ball ran right by the hole, unfortunately a little too far resulting in a two put for bogey. Had a couple lip out and 2x three puts for a total of 51.
Course was in good shape given we've had rain nearly every day for the pas few weeks. Greens were running great
