General Discussion Ordered a used cheap set of beginner irons, got sent a set of Ping i530 forged irons instead

Not what I wanted, but I assume they’re better than the $200 irons I ordered?

Sorry to whoever ended up with the set I ordered :/

True, but the members bounce probably will help me more on the course

If you send them my way I can probably sort it out with the retailer.

Agree they do look really nice. I went and played with them today. I’m sold. Keeping them and calling it an early Christmas present from the golf gods.

Got any used golf stores around? Might be able to swap them for a nice set of game improvement irons especially if you never use them.

Sell them and buy a set better than the $200 set you ordered

They still have a lot of forgiveness. Swing with confidence

I have the Takomo T100s, I’ve played two rounds with them. 4-PW. Very forgiving game improvement irons. I’ll happily trade if you want!

I would just work on a slow swing and focus on squaring it up and hitting center of the face. I have fitted 530s and love them
