Ping i3 O Size Review:
| Accuracy |   Less-Avg-More |
|
| Very accurate. Slightly off-center hits produced accurate shots with minimal direction loss. | ||
|
||
| Distance | Short-Avg-Long |
|
Average.
Slightly longer than Ping Eye2+ in terms
of distance. Lofts are about 1/2° stronger
than Eye2+ model.
|
||
|
||
| Trajectory | Low-Avg-High |
|
| Higher trajectory than most irons. Will re-assess with entire set and focus on the short irons to determine if trajectory is as high as previous Ping models. | ||
|
||
| Feel |
|
|
Very solid feel. These irons are swingweighted higher than the Eye2+s. An improvement over the light headed Eye2 design. |
||
|
||
| Forgiveness | Less-Avg-More |
|
More than average forgiveness. Minimal distance loss of slightly off-center heel and toe hits. |
||
|
||
| Looks | ||
| Mid-sized cavity back with Custom Weight Port (CTP) in cavity, new Ping silvery gray satin finish, notch in hosel for easy lie adjustment, slanted hosel opening, similar offset and look to Eye2 design at address (see picture), The "O" in O-Size stands for "optimum". | ||
|
||
| Summary | ||
| The Ping I3 O-Size irons are very similar to Ping Eye2+ model in terms of performance. With similar looks and identical lofts between the two i3 models (O-Size and Blade), golfers have the option to mix and match between the two (i.e. 3-6 irons in the O-Size and 7-PW irons in the Blade). These irons should appeal to golfers of all abilities. | ||
