Very interesting results. Let someone else who has a different swing hit
with those two clubs. My guess is, for someone with a higher swing speed
(GJ!) the S55 would go further. Or someone with a higher launch angle –
also the S55 would do the trick. It’s just a guess. Let’s experiment here.?
Didn’t see that one coming. Guess I’ll have to take a more in depth look
at my swing now.?
What stands out as odd is that Ping strong on marketing S55 as high launch,
long carry with softer feel, the tour pro’s such as Mahan said better feel,
go further, that’s why he put them in his bag after seeing the launch
monitor numbers. In fact Ping made a big deal of saying they went with
slightly weaker lofts throughout to achieve this (not bowing to the rest of
the manufacturers lead who by and large were making the lofts stronger
through sets) and as you say both 7 irons are 33 degs, same length. Maybe
the i25’s came out better than even Ping thought !!! ?
Mark, you mention in this vid about why would you not take the extra 6
yards from I25, which makes complete sense with a driver or 3 wood. But
surely an iron is about to get it to go a certain distance rather than just
the furthest. If you did change to irons per say that have you an extra 6
yards would you then subsequently have to change your hybrid and wedge
lofts as well? Your thoughts please.. Thanks ?
This video shows the importance of getting fitted for your next set of
clubs. ?
Thumbs up from me ?????
i almost don’t want to try the i25’s because i know i’m going to want to
buy them once i do?
Can I buy your ez’s seen as your changing clubs :-)?
I experienced this first hand today. The i25 7 iron was performing the same
as my MP 6 iron. 186 avg carry. Pretty sweet clubs from ping. ?
Mark, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Bridgestone J40 Cavity Back vs J40 Dual
Cavity. 🙂 Keep up the good work. Thanks.?
Sneaky Mark. I noticed your first i25 iron shot was a bit chunky and your
slomo replay was a different swing b/c the divots didn’t match up ;P I been
thinking about switching to an all Ping bag, I’m currently all Titleist
except for my wedges(Miura) and my putter(tp mills). Nice video bud.?
Great vid Mark, keep up the good work?
Great video as always. When will you do the i25 driver vs your Nike Covert??
The ball was in a different place on the slow motion swing.?
I would like to see how you hit these two clubs blindfolded. :)?
Hi Mark, might be interesting to pool all the GC2 results together into one
2014 release Iron database with not all, but the important stats, so
distance, ball speed, launch, carry & spin etc so that you can compare
across all of your GC2 reviews.?
Great vid Mark Crossfield!?
Great video, love the new bits where you show your data. Mark, did you
actually measure the lofts? You mentioned the specs on their website but
they are built to tolerances so if the i25 was a degree or two strong
and/or the s55 a degree or two weak this would explain the difference in
yardage.?
Mark, I know you’re not a big shaft freak, but do you suppose the reason
you got different distances was because the I25 had a bit more whippy shaft
than the S55? I ask because I play the S59 with the stock stiff Zz65 shaft
+1/2″, and with my 7 iron, my average distance last year, on the course,
was a hair under 150. I went to GolfSmith and demoed a stock length black
dot S55 7 iron and I was averaging about 165 yards, so it may be a shaft
issue. Just a thought. ?
Could you do a video the i25 with the kbs tour shaft? Best arm?
Mark, I wish you would have compared the 5 irons in these two sets as well,
since the i25 long irons have more offset than the s55. In fact I think a
good video would be to compare the 5 irons of all 3 ping sets, g25, i25 and
s55. I also think some comment on forgiveness and workability of each set
would be useful rather than just distance. ?
I notice you’ve changed ball from nike?
Like others I’m thinking EZ back on the rack i25 in the bag. Are you
considering putting them up against each other??
nice compositing in your video editing!?
