 Rhaid i'n nhw i ddweud o'r cyfnodd gyda'r TV a ddod yw'n ddweud o'r golfau yma. Rydw i'n ddweud y cwmhyselau yma, rydw i'n gwneud y video ar y pngylo cyfnoddau cyffredin. Mae'r I210, felly mae'n rhaid i chi'n gweithio'r video ac yna'r pngylo cyffredin I500. Yn y cwmhyselau cyffredin i'r pngylo cyffredin, rydyn ni'n gweithio'r video yna, ychydig nhw'n ddysgu'n ddangos eich cyflaeddei, ond nad oedd ydym ni'n wirio'n credu tyn nhw hefyd i'w lle'r cyfraddee ac yn arno'n swydd hon i gyd-fwn i'w llwyd-dredd, ond hyn yn ond gyda newydd i'r cyfridd ac mae'n nhw'n gwylla i'r cyfridd ac yn ddweud yn ddidd i'r cyfridd hefyd. O'r fath yn y gweithredd ar gyfer, mae'n bod nodi'n schweithio'r arall, mae'n cyfriddau'n trwy na ru fynd i'r cyfridd, We'll look at how it performs in terms of dry ball data here at four golf on track man. But then, in part two of this video, we'll take it out on the course and see how it performs in different situations in and around the course. But first off, let's have a sit down, see what tech is packed into this club, perhaps who this club is aimed at, and ultimately how it looks and then get it into some golf balls. OK, let's start by talking how this thing looks and I'm going to throw some images up on screen. I think a lot will agree it's a pretty stunning looking golf club. Very much a smaller version of the i700. I'm going to talk about the tech in this very, very shortly, but for time being, let's just stick to the looks. So, as you can see, it's this whole, what I call a one piece design. There's no cavity at all. It's got this hydropoil chrome finish on it. Very much what they're seeing is a sort of clean players looking club. One of the striking things about this range from Ping and in some of the releases that they've had of late is how minimal the design is in terms of what they put on it in terms of colourings and markings is a very minimalistic design, just the i500 and the forge wording on the back of the club and then the number of the club on the bottom and that's it. It's stripped down to a very, very neat finish and I like it. If you look at the back of the club, there's just a groove cut out through literally midway through halfway up the clubface where it then allows the bottom half. The sole of the club just thickens out a little bit and that's where they pack that low CG. The interesting thing for me with the i500 range and the i700 is this sort of hollow design and it's all about this ability to let the face of the club sort of flex back. It almost, again, when you look at the slow motion video that Ping produced it almost really looks like a sort of springboard effect and it's this ability to produce that effect right across the clubface which is interesting because as you well know as average golfers we don't hit out that centre but this sort of face flexing, this maraging or margin steel that they use allows that flexibility and allows it to be produced right across the clubface so you're getting these fast ball speeds with off-center hits and I think that's the key difference between the older clubs and the newer clubs that we're seeing. It's all about that bigger sweet spot and producing the same and consistent ball speeds from across the face and that's what Ping are claiming will happen with this i500 and we'll see that very, very shortly indeed. But I have to say on looks alone it's a nice, it is literally if you've seen the i700 it's a much slimmer muck and packed version of that and I've got to say it really sits nice behind a ball so that's enough in terms of tech as far as I'm concerned, enough in terms of looks now we'd better see how this thing performs. Right so as I did with the i210 I'm going to stop off and give you my opinion after hitting the limited amount of balls, don't get me wrong with the i500 at this stage, don't know what Trackman's saying I don't want to be guided or swayed by what that says in terms of numbers so I'm going to give you my opinions right now. Now first of all it sits very compact behind the ball like the way it sits behind the ball it's a lot different than the i700 it seems hugely different in size which I'm sure it is it's got that classic player's eye and as we call them looks to it from the top of it very minimal offset indeed, everything about it like the looks of in terms of what I've seen in terms of ball flight this is launched, lofted, 30 degree loft on this 7 iron so strong lofted without being the ridiculous levels that we've seen clubs go into you can get this in a power spec as well by the way but yeah 30 degrees are lofted but once again what we've seen with all these clubs strong lofted but unbelievably high launch angles this ball just seems to be going defying it's 30 degrees worth of loft and it's just flying up there out into the sky and seems to come down an unbelievable descent angle as well powerful with the 30 degrees worth of loft without being I'm certainly there's no knuckle balls here I ain't flying this out there like I was the i700 for example the issue for me perhaps is the feel forged insert in the face and this doesn't match up to being what I would class a forged club it's a bit like with the p790s they do the similar thing it's forged face hollow body design and I think they're not quite getting that feel of what I would say is a classic forged club so that's where there's a bit of compromise for me in terms of the feel in this one but overall I would expect the numbers are going to be good and that's the next thing we'll get onto is going to have a sit down and discuss some dry ball data okay so that's golf balls hit and I will throw up some numbers for you now and at least see how this thing got on in terms of dry ball data so here's what we've got from trackman nine shots hit average carry distance of 157 peak height of 99 feet launch angle 19.6 ball speed 115 and that spin number at the beginning is a real interesting one it's 6600 revs and some in fact over 7000 bit of variation in the numbers in terms of peak height and also that spin number sort of comes and goes a little bit there's a couple of shots that drop off but having said all that people who watch my videos frequently will know that me achieving that kind of spin number with an iron lofted at 30 degrees is incredibly high and I think that's the most impressive thing about all these numbers yes this is a it's a strongly lofted 7 I know a strongly lofted set of irons full stop but it's not overly long it is a long club don't get me wrong but what they've managed to achieve here Ping I think is a very fine balance between getting a strong lofted club with a high launch but also achieving a very high spin number and I think that's really noticeable and really really impressive for me so far so the other part of the test is done we've talked about how it looks we've talked about how it feels and now we've got some trackman drive ball data but now let's see how I got out there on the course with this club I played a couple of rounds with it at my home club at Heswell and there is a few shots from out there on the course okay so what did I learn new from out there on the course and not a great deal really I think in this instance it very much performed as it did on drive ball data it did that out there on the course I think that one noticeable thing for me often different from inside to out is the acoustics we played out in a sort of wide open environment out there on the course and I think the sound which we all talk about is being feel that often changes I think it's a fairly loud I'd almost say clicky can of sound I've just reviewed the i210 and I'd call that a real buttery soft feel that they've achieved very very well in that ion I think with this is a more powerful bang off the face it's more explosive in it's sound it's probably the only one negative for me that's still not ticking a box and I think that's just something that I think again will be we will see an evolution in these ions moving forward these hollow core clubs will be very much something we might see a little bit more of I think if they can just work on that field yes they've got the forge face but seeing it in the P790 you've got the forge face, the hollow body construction and I don't think the acoustics are quite there yet to generate the kind of feel that would lead to being the ultimate set of ions because what they've done here is they've managed to get a refined looking club a small and more compact looking club packed with forgiveness, high launch and strong lofted spinning, they're ticking a heck of a lot of boxes with this club you've got to be impressed overall and out there on the course like I said it performed very very well indeed as well you can't do anything but give it a thumbs up like I said they're getting very very close to achieving this kind of ultimate set of ions I think and the one final thing for me like I said is if they could just improve the acoustics the sound of these clubs it's definitely getting there but I think you've got a great i500 absolutely stunning looking set of ions and it's performed unbelievably well as well anyway that's enough from me whole point of all these reviews is to give you some guidance and that's about it, the important thing is as ever is get out there try on for yourself form your own opinions, get your own trackman data and see what you're making of it from there as ever thanks for watching comments down below, thumbs up if you like the video subscribe if
