What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the i5 is 34° and the i10 is 34°, identical at the club most golfers compare on, although other clubs in the sets differ. Across the 12 clubs both sets share, the differences roughly cancel out, with the largest gap at the 2-iron (18° vs 18.5°). Beyond loft, the i10 7-iron sits 0° flatter (62.28° vs 62.25°), which nudges start direction slightly right for a right-hander.
Both are players irons, built for roughly scratch to 10 handicaps. Small-to-mid cavity backs with traditional lofts, modest offset and workable shaping for low-handicap players. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
Both heads are listed as investment cast. With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.
The i10 arrived 2 years after the i5, a typical one-generation refresh. Changes over that span are usually incremental: refined face thickness, revised weighting, updated looks and small loft tweaks rather than a new concept.
Which should you choose?
The i10 is the weaker-lofted set — up to 0.5° weaker than the i5. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.
