Ping S57 Irons

The Ping S57 Irons are a tour-inspired design aimed to deliver an optimal performance club. The S57 iron's head is made of stainless steel and the machined face and grooves provide a consistent performance across the whole hitting area, while the incorporation of a tungsten toe weight and dual vertical stabilising bars give an ideal combination of distance control, forgiveness and feel. The head of the Ping S57 has a brushed silver chrome finish to complement the player's-size head.

What Golfalot Says


Ping has been trying to muscle in on the better player blade market for a while now and the Ping S57 irons are certainly the best feeling cast irons we have tried in this sector. From above the look just like blades and the feel and ability to move the ball is excellent. Our only reservation is that the tungsten toe weight makes the heads a little heavy and they are also a little on the small side, which reduces the sweetspot a touch. However some Ping Tour players are replacing the S57 long irons with a Rapture V2 equivalent, so that could be an option for you.
