I've been playing for the past few years with older Ping ISI Beryllium Copper irons and wanted a more modern set to lug around the golf course. Tried out both the i530 and g730 irons. The g730 felt good but the i530 felt much better. Having said that, I do think the g730 irons are more forgiving and probably better suited towards the beginner or high handicap golfer. The irons have a classic blade look but has the benefit of a hollow body. They feel great, offer forgiveness and due to the stronger lofts, I'm getting about 25-30 yards more distance out of them. The local Golf Galaxy was fantastic about letting me try everything out and helped me with the custom order (only needed 7-PW). Free tip - go through the fitting process so you can get a set of irons best suited for your height and reach. That way you won't have to ask, "Is it the irons or me?" so much. Overall very pleased with this purchase and wouldn't hesitate recommending the i530 irons to others.
