I don't think the wear is any different different than any of the clubs I have used in the past. I will try to take some pics tonight and post them.

What are everyone's thoughts on the wear and tear that these heads show?
Can any of the testers put some pics up of their longer aged club faces?

Not sure if I have photo posting privileges yet. If you PM me your email, I'll send you some pics. I don't have nearly as many rounds as JMan, et al but I do have A LOT of strikes on some clubs and mostly from range rocks.
Short story: I am very happy with the wear but have seen a used set on display at a big box store that makes me absolutely understand your concern. FWIW, there seems to be an indication (internet rumor...) that Ping made an adjustment to the finish since first release and my clubs are less than a month old.

Well...I'm very close to joining the cult. ATM I'm deciding on whether to get a hard stepped Stiff or maybe a soft stepped X. In the 4 times I've hit the demo's lately I've had a harder time hitting a draw with the X and a slight fade is the main shot. The S gets me a nice small draw on the demo but boy its up there. Mainly wondering which one of these two options will have a lower flight. Question is in to Ping, but do any of you know what the answer is here or wondered something similar?
First post & with help from all of the great info on this thread I moved from MP53's to i20's (both with C-Tapers). Loved the Mizuno's on good days but the i20's are the real deal for me! They are longer and much more forgiving. Started with 4-U & currently trying the SW & LW. Digging the SW & LW for full shots & from the sand, but not positive the LW will hold off my MP R12 60*. I'll probably send the wedges to Ping this winter to get some grinds. Anyway, I had never broke 80 before today, but a few rounds in with these I shot 76 with 5 birdies & 13/18 GIR. The shorter irons are straight up pinseekers & the long irons are money as well. My playing partner had been hearing me talk about the hype of these irons for awhile, today he was believer. Thanks for all of the good info!

That's awesome! Great results right out of the gates for you. My i20's are sitting in the basement. I go check them out almost daily.
Terrific update Jman and congrats on the 72! They look like they are still in great shape and you must be leaving yourself with a ton of 8 irons into the green by the looks of it.
Thanks man! The 8i is my 155-160 club now and the number I absolutely LOVE to play up to. You give me the 8i in my hand, I'm going to hit the green.
I takes alot of restraint sometimes to lay up to that number, especially off the tee, but I'm getting there and the scores are showing it.
How does that compare to the distance you were seeing with the J40's?
With the same shafts, I'm a full club longer with the i20's than I was the J40's. Its strange to me because my set of DPC's were ordered 1* strong so they were actually the same lofts as the i20's. I'm unsure if its just my swing is more confident and grooved now or if all of the tech in the i20's made a difference. I really do thing it might be a little of both. I do love the DPC's and the i20's are honestly the only iron out there I like better.
That is interesting. The pro shop at my club has a i20 6 iron I am going to demo and see what the distance difference looks like. I am still getting familar with the J40's but I am not getting the distance I expected to date. The amount of GIR's being hit in this thread has me curious to get the i20's on the course and see what happens. Maybe JB has a set he can bring to the Iowa tour van stop for me to try?
