Ping S56 Irons

[andef 3]

Seeing as TitleistProV1x hasn't started a new thread yet on the latest Ping irons , I wanted to share this Golf magazine article of the new Ping S56 irons.

This is what the clubs look like. I like'em better than the S57 in terms of looks. What do you guys think?

I still favor the S59

Not a fan, personally I think they are kinda ugly. But if they play well, I suppose it doesn't matter.

I prefer the old style utilitarian look from the "old days" - at least back then they were distinctive. Now they look like most any other companies' clubs.

Agreed-I like the look of the S59s. I'll reserve judgment on these until I hit them, but on looks alone=bleargh...

I'm waiting for the Anser forged irons. I've owned two sets of PING irons before, ZING, and EYE 2 BeCu, the latter of which I gave to my dad. I haven't really liked any of the newer PING offerings. Very busy and complicated looking.

The forged Ansers look awesome, although wayyy to expensive...

Looks hideous.
The only good looking PING irons are the new Anser forged.

I like them, I bet they will look better in person than that pic. I do agree that they do not look as good as the S57 or S59 but they are not that bad.

As for the Forged Anser if you like them then you should like the i15's

[Ash1974 2]

Here are a few more pics, they are being shown @ Pebble according to Ping Twitter.





and as we know, the new Tour-S wedge (this one is Angel Cabrera's wedge according to Ping Twitter)

[motteler621 9]

hmm the tour-s doesnt "look" better than the tour-w but if that is copper I might have to get one. I cant find any up to date copper wedges these days. copper is so soft so to me its really good at chip shots, Not sure about full range shots though

They look like a cross between S59s and the old Rac TP irons.

I like 'em, but I haven't hit many irons that I hit farther or better than my superintendents S59s. TTlites apparently are for cheating LOL, I hit those things way too far!

Agreed ...........

just bought a set of S56 love the way they perform soft feel and workable the looks are okay with me

[ohiolefty 30]

These irons don't look as bad in person as they do here...

The Anser forged are a lot worse looking in person. Thick topline, very much i15 esque.

Best Irons on the market. Have played them sine they came out. So much feel and workability. Ping never makes a bad club
