True! A bargain on solid equipment can make anyone happy, especially if it feels good in your hands!
I’ve been using the Ping i530 for a few months now. As a mid-handicapper, I find them forgiving yet precise. They’re fantastic for players looking to improve. Highly recommended!
Totally agree! The i230 has a softer feel, which I love as a beginner. It really helps with feedback on my swings!
As a low handicapper, I prefer the i530. They give me the control I need for my shots. The i230s, while nice, feel a bit too forgiving for my game.

I wouldn’t say it’s cheating, just more user-friendly! But part of me wonders - do easier clubs take away from the challenge?
That’s an interesting point, Blake! I think it’s all about enjoyment versus challenge. I’ve had a lot of fun with my i230 while still learning a lot.
