The S58s, S59s, or these new S57s will be fairly difficult to be consistent for a beginner. However, there are exceptions, so don't rule out giving them a try. As far as the way they look, they look awesome. I've been a fan of the first two models and this one looks to be just as nice if not nicer. I'm sure we'll have them at the pro shop whenever they come out!

The red s57 logo looks a bit tacky to me but other than that those are probably some of the nicest looking irons to come out of late. They almost look forged.

Check them out

Yeah, they look a lot like the Titleist AP2s sitting behind me here, except the Pings a bit tackier in my opinion and likely won't look as good at address (super-thick topline).

I bought a new set of PING Raptures (the G10 on steriods) with graphite shafts. Very happy with these; about a club longer than anything else I tried and much easier to hit consistenly well (and I think I tried just about every premium make and model, including all the blades).

Haven't pings always been a club longer.....there 8 iron loft is a 7 for most companies...at least this is what I was told years and years ago...

it was a great marketing idea...worked too

Great find Mr. 425.

I'll wait for these to appear (hopefully) in Europe instead of reshafting my S58's this season. I'll try them out at least. They'll probably be as/more expensive as the 58/59's when they came out though...

They look great - a little shinier than the dull heads of the S58's.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
