Nice
It'll be interesting to see if they stay in the line-up as long as the S56 did (3 years I think..?)

They look nice, very similar to the 56's though. I was delighted to see there was a custom tuner port made from thermoplastic elastomer 
Still £115 per iron is pretty lumpy.

Not seen em in the flesh,but really like the look of them in the pictures.
What is the target market though. I'm guessing these are for the lower players. Not sure I could do them justice but hey look nice

A big :thup: from me
Never been a fan of Ping irons (i20's excluded) but these would defiantly be on my shopping list. I like them that much.

Very purdy. Love them, but not sure after all that waiting I want to spend £115 a club just to have near enough the same club as 3 generations previous.

Very nice. I'd love to try them but I don't think my ball striking could do them full justice.

Saw these in the flesh today at the Ping Pro-Am. Played with Andy Sullivan (hero) and he had them in the bag, as did the other pros too I think. They look awesome, like knives. I will be staying well clear, good old shovels for me.

most of the Png pro's had hem in their bags today. They look luuuuuuvvvvveeeerrrrrllllly. I can see them being very popular.
Also saw the prototype driving iron. I'm not good enough to use it I'm sure but it looks a great addition if it is released to the general golfing world.

So I'm guessing not for me then. I think the I20 is as good as I'll get. I think the I20 v the new Cally Apex irons on a Trackman should give some interesting numbers

Dispersion is all that needs looking at.
Who gives a dam if a club goes 5 yards further.

Those custom fit g25s not working out for you homer??
I like the look of the s55s, however this may seem hypocritical, as I play cast irons but for £115 a club I'd go for a mizuno forged offering as first choice. Still give these a look though if I was in the market.

Saw them being used by the PING tour pros today - they were lovely. Am massive Mizuno fan but would definitely give them a try. In fact might have to seriously consider it when they are launched!!

S56 were the only decent looking irons in the [reasonably priced] Ping range, Anser's excluded.
These crank that up a notch as they take the best looks or the 56 and make them better.
I would definitely be interested in these if I wasn't already getting new irons.

My club just happens to be having a Ping Demo Day tomorrow. Hoping they might have a club to try
