Ping Golf, located in Phoenix, manufactures the Ping S58 and S57 irons, which have much in common, including appearance and technology. These clubs are sold through the Ping website and are available at many major sporting goods stores and local pro shops.
Specifications
The Ping S58 iron product line is available in a 2-iron through pitching wedge set and can be custom built to fit the needs of any golfer. The lofts of the S58 line range from 18.5 degrees in the 2-iron to 47 degrees in the pitching wedge. The Ping S57 irons are also available in a 2-iron through pitching wedge set. The lofts in the S57 line range from 18.5 degrees in the 2-iron to 47 degrees in the pitching wedge. Both club sets are available with either graphite or iron shafts in a variety of different flex options.
S58
The Ping S58 iron product line features a patented Custom Tuning Port that positions the clubhead's center of gravity directly behind and below the golf ball at impact. This technology allows you to lift the ball into the air faster on all clubs. The S58s have a dull metallic finish at address and a traditional appearance. These irons also feature perimeter weighting to allow forgiveness on mishits. The irons earned a place on the "Golf Digest" Hot List in 2007.
S57
The S57 is similar to the S58 in most categories, including specifications, appearance and technology. Each clubhead features patented Tungston Toe weighting that contributes to a high moment of inertia and minimal clubhead turning prior to impact. The S57s also feature dual stabilizing bars in each club's cavity-back design, which Ping says offers a softer feel when striking the ball.
Considerations
To get the most benefit out of your new set of irons, speak to a licensed PGA teaching professional or a Ping clubmaker to learn more about receiving a customized fitting. This fitting process will take your height, swing tendencies and other preferences into account when recommending or building your set of clubs.
