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.

    • Day 354: shitty, busy week so far. Only had time for a bit mirror work - working on the same things. 
    • IDK, a full turn. That is what it's feeling like. When I shallow the club, it ends where It ends. Should I crank the torso more around?  I'll check a face-on to make sure, but it's not like I am trying to make partial backswings.  The day has finally come, when I am getting comments on not making a long enough backswing. 🤣 too much of what?  Here is my typically routine.... 1) I usually start out just doing position work. The backswing stuff we work on. Turn to A2.5-ish, shallow to A4, pause, arms down to A6. Then, slight pump drill and hit the ball.  2) I do some pause at A4 and arms down and try to hit ball from A4 instead of A6.  3) I do some full swing stuff, trying to blend it all together. Checking video to see if I am actually keeping the club shallow or not. If not, then I go back to trying to train the downswing with the stuff we worked on. I try to blend it all together again, and check video.  What am I missing here? I do the stuff we worked on. I'll keep it at, it's all I can do. Just hope it changes.  Sorry for trying to find a feel that keeps the club shallow.. 
    • Ha ha.... I'm not sure.  I've actually never watched a LIV event. ... but maybe? 👍👍
    • I'd look at Days 2 and 22 here: https://golfevolution.com/30-day-plan And watch this video:
