I am really interested in getting the new Ping S58 irons but the shop that i work in hasn't gotten them yet and i was wondering if anyone has hit them and what they thought of them. A comparison to another iron would also be helpful if possible.

I play the S59's and they are great clubs for people with low handicaps and scratch golfers,for you they might not be the right clubs.
how about the Ping i5's?

I also play the S59's and while I agree, they're more geared towards low-mid handicaps, I think someone with a 9-11 handicap could actually do quite well with them. Yes, they're "blades" but they're very forgiving, especially since they aren't "big, honkin' things."

From what I've read, the S58's are supposed to be more playable, so I would think you'd be very happy with them. Just make sure you get fitted from a PING dealer first.

I have hit the new S58's and they are very nice. As far as them being less "player" I think you are wrong. From what I was told by the reps and from what I saw they are even more geared toward the better player than the S59's. They look even more like blades and have slightly less offset. The longer irons were designed to have higher trajectory, and the shorter irons were designed to have a more boring trajectory. They did that by moving some weight around not by making them any more "forgiving". I would compare them to my Nike Pro combos, or really any player iron besides a blade. I really liked them and are considering ordering them, but for people with higher handicaps I would definately steer them towards another model like the i5, G5, or the new rapture irons.

by being less geared toward player... i meant that they are a little more forgiving than the s59 and that they didn't have a blade like style to them... but thanks

They do have a blade like style to them even more so than their predecessors the S59. They are not more forgiving than the S59 other than they are redisigned with different trajactories in mind. Remember, the S59 did not go over well, especially with the tour guys. These clubs are in no way redesigned with the higher handicapper in mind, these were redesigned to perform better in the hands of the professional and accomplished amateur. Ping already has several models for the higher handicapper or golfer looking for forgiveness. Why would they redesign their "players" irons to compete with them. The entire reason for the S59 and S58 was to try and entice players looking for more workablility than their other Ping iron lines provided.

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
