Ping S57's - anyone use them ?

[Macster]

Love the look of the S57's, and have read reports that suggest they are perhaps a club longer than most irons on average.....anyone use them or any experience of them ?

I played with Zing2's for years, and must admit they were powerful clubs.

Cheers.

There is someone on here who uses the S57's cant remember who it is off hand. I think they are sexy looking irons but I am a self confessed ping whore. I hit my 59's too well to change although I may consider it after next season as my irons will be old by then.

If you decide to go for them be sure to get custom fitted and dont forget to post a review even if its just to make me jealous!

MikeH plays with them That's all I know. However, make sure to check the lofts before assuming they are powerful clubs. I am very sceptical about "powerful" clubs after owning some Di7.

I'd love to have a set - you're right HTL. Our illustrious leader has a set.

My friend who plays of 6 has them. Hits the ball beautifully and they have a lovely flight. Thats my view.

Hi Chris
I do indeed use the S57s as does equipment ed Paul O'Hagan (he is 5 hcap and I'm 7).
The are the first set of PING irons I have ever had but I love them and it would take somethoing very special to land int he office to get me to even think about switching. I did a report on the custom fitting process last year and would recommend you give them a try if yoiu like the look

I'd certainly agree that they are longer than most irons I have tested and certainly a club longer than my last two sets of irons Macgrgor MT Pros and TaylorMader RAC TPs which were admittedly both forged clubs and this is a cast model. I certainly don't notice any loss in feel compared to the forged models I have played and test now.
To me they have just the right amount of forgivness (iron play is probably the weakest part of my game) and a thick enough topline so as not to scare you witless!
