Summary: I am 6'1", 195lbs, 59 yrs old. Swing Speed w driver is around 110 mph. Tempo is smooth. I play Blue Dot, +1/4" Ping Specs.
I keep coming back to this Ping model.
I have gamed the S58's and while a nice model, I dont care for the offset and ball flight (too high).
The S59 is a good looking blade style, with little offset and tends to hit the ball lower.
Set up with the DG S300 Swgwt D2, they give me a nice flat trajectory. No ballooning, tight dispersion and good distance. 7i 160yd. I have hit them with ZZ-65, TF Rifle 5.5 and CS-Lite. For my swing speed and tempo the S300 works the best overall.
I have played the Eye2+ (great classic) and the S58 (forgiving and solid). The S59 set up properly just works best for me on all types of turf.
Find the right shaft and be sure have the correct Ping color code length.
Customer Service: Best around

Summary: Most of you know me as the best player on these boards. I have the best swing out there. I choose the Ping S59 irons. That should tell you enough. If I play them they've got to be good. Whatever you do, don't try to get as good as me because that's impossible.
Customer Service: They bend over backward for greatness like me
Summary: I own a set of i3 blades and the S59's, and I always go back to the S59's. I havent played the i3's for awhile because the S59's feel better and are just as easy to hit, plus they are alittle longer. I put the s300 shaft on them. Can't say enough about the club!

Summary: What is going on ? I bought these irons to hit only on the range as a way to improve my swing.Thinking I would be hitting a lot of thin shots,slices & fat shots I was absolutely stunned how great they played.I shoot in the nineties and am usualy super inconsistant.The completely wrong golfers for these type of blades right? WRONG.The thin top line exudes confidence they are lighter and the blade club head just makes me feel like I am going to smash the ball.I have used them 3 times on course and love these clubs.The long irons are the big difference I hit the 3 iron 220 no slice just a clean hit nearly every time.Now with my G2s with the thick sole I cannot do that even once.This sounds crazy but for me these blades are more forgiving and the long irons much easier to hit. I am still pulling a few left but not as many as I was.Get rid of the super fat super offset clubs and give these babies a whirl.Man I am loving the clean hits I get with these clubs.I sold my G2s and these were in the bag after 1 practice session.My bad shots are still quite good and better than my game improvement clubs. Go the blades !!
