Summary:
Well after a very long search and some poor golf I have found a very good iron for my game. Love the looks, feel and playability. Much more forgiving than they appear to be. I have played five rounds with these irons and all have been under par! I had been switching a lot early this year and could not find anything in the easier to hit irons that I could stomach and get good feel from.

These irons are quite long too.

If you like blades but want more forgivness and are a ping fan these might be just the ticket. I plan to play this set for a very long time.

Summary:
By far the best ping irons made! i have been playing these clubs for 3 years now and i never want them to leave the bag. They can do anything you need them to do. find a good used set and buy them over the s-58 or 57's

Summary:
I have finally found an iron that is perfect for my game. I'm not quite good enough for a forged muscle back. I've shot low 70's with such a club but I had those 4-5 shots where it hurts me too much to justify keeping them in the bag.

Enter the Ping S59's. Smaller head and higher COG for workability and a lower ball flight. But just enough forgiveness to bail me out a few times per round.

Very appealing at set-up with good enough feel to get me by. Not like forged, but close.
Another plus is they wear very well. The blasted head and brushed finish give a good look and great durability.

The lightweight stiff ZZ65 shafts worried me at first. I'm a pretty strong guy and was concerned about ballooning shots and a whippy feel. No worries now. Great performing shaft.

If you're looking for a club that falls in the middle of the forged muscle back and player cavity group, I cannot imagine a better iron out there for you.

These will definitely get the 8-9 handicapper down to a 4-5, provided you practice...;)

Great job, Ping!!!
