I recently bought a set of these irons and I must say they are the best iron I have ever used. My previous set of Ping Zing 2 irons were 12 years old, so I decided to try a set of G5 irons. The G5s felt horrible to me. I gave them three or four rounds with no improvement in feel or distance control, so I traded them in for a set of S58 irons. They are beautiful to look at and the small head demands that you concentrate at address. This simple fact has improved my iron play tremendously. The S58s have a solid feel even when you hit it on the toe. The ball flies straight for me even when I mis-hit it slightly with a slight loss of distance. These clubs are half a club longer than my Zing 2s. While it is true that these are players irons if you can shoot in the 80s, you can play with these clubs. I was a little wary of getting away from game improvement, but after using these S58s, I am never going back.

Customer Service

Ping service has always been exceptional. I ordered a 2 iron to match my set with no problems. It arrived in less than a week.

My last 2 sets of irons had been Pings and I was looking to replace the I3's that I'd had for a number of years. Tried the S59 and was very disappointed with them. They were the hardest feeling golf club I'd ever hit and was going to go with the I5. However when I got to the factory I saw these and when I started hitting them I had to have them. Much softer feel than the S59 and pretty similar to the I3's. Lovely penetrating trajectory throughout the set, especially with the long irons. Pretty easy to hit and align and are a beautiful set of irons to look at. I think they are the best clubs Ping have made so far.

What can you say? Its Ping.

s58 irons are excellent, easier to control and forgiving. The Rapture woods produces a good flight, thus carry.

Edwin Watts in Orlando were fast to order them customized.

I've been playing the S59's for a couple months now. I got them off Ebay for a song. So far, so good. I like the looks of them quite a bit. They set up very square and produce a medium ball flight, for me anyways. Compared to forged blades, the Pings feel a little sterile, but I like the fact these irons are durable and made to last. These irons do everything player's irons should do. No more, no less. I'm saving up some cash to buy a new set of S59's directly from Ping. Very pleased.

They fixed a wedge for me back in the day. Service was prompt and curteous.

The s58 irons are a big improvement over the s59's and I loved those. Very solid feel, pin point accuracy, easy to work and are somewhat forgiving. I will say they are for the lower handicapper. Give those a try and be sure to get fitted.

The best out there. Fast responce and service

About every thing

Let me say initially that I am a very big Ping fan (woods, irons, wedges, putter, bag, etc). For a variety of reasons I have decided to support this company. This logic drove me to buy a set of I3 Blades from Ebay to replace my G5 set of irons. I simply wanted more of a "players" club. I love my Blades.
Just as I had imagined the Blades did everything my G5's did only with more feel and capability. I don't shape the ball a great deal but I do play different trajectories. The I3's are terrific and easy to work with in this regard.
So, if the Blades were that much better than the G5's the S58's must be that much better than the I3's, right?
Well, I'm sorry to say that isn't the case. The 58's just don't have the feel or the forgiveness of my I3's. I have hit a lot of balls and played with the 58's on several occasions and it isn't the same.
So, I am happily going back to me I3's and will be selling the 58's.
Anyone looking for a set of 1/2" long, ZZ 65, stiff, white dots?

Customer Service

Outstanding. I am always amazed at how quickly they ship product and get it right the first time.

i thought that the s58 had a mutch more forgiving head than the s59 i think that the best is still the si3

After playing Ping S59s for almost a year. I started looking for a set of irons to replace them. I tried most every "player" iron on the market. Not finding anything that was even as good as the S59s. Finally I heard about the new Ping S58s. When they were finally available I didn't waste any time. After the first shot with these I felt like I was right back home again. The feel is even better than the S59 with the same great look and good distance. They short irons are spot on. Distance control is unmatched. The long irons are very forgiving for this type of iron. Long irons launch higher than the Mizuno 32s and 37s. Great acceleration of all the irons. Ping has and probably always will make a great iron. The S58 is different. It is the best "player" iron on the market.

Customer Service

Top notch. Hit a small tree on a follow through while playing my S59 irons. Contacted Ping and they swapped the shaft. They even filled the scoring line at the bottom with new paint and returned the club 2-day shipping. All free of charge. That is what I call service.

What can I say about these clubs!!

After using Wilson Staff irons for the last 10 years and having a handicap of between 10-12 over that period I decided to invest in a set of Pings, as I'd always wanted them since I was a kid.

Well, I'm now totally gutted I've waited til the age of 34 to do it!!

After breaking them in for a couple of rounds and hitting +10 on both occasions, my next 5 rounds have averaged +5, and have also included my 4 lowest rounds of all time including a +3.

Now, I'm not the best at describing golf shots, but when you hit the sweet spot, it feels like you're carving through butter with a hot knife.

Plus, in the past I've never really been into or tried to shape too many shots, but with these clubs everything just falls into place and gives you the confidence to do so.

I have no doubt in my mind that if I was still using my Staffs I would be still playing off of 10.

There are clubs out there to suit everyone, but I can confidently say I will be staying with Ping for life, as I couldn't recommend these highly enough.

Fantastic feel, Great loooking club easy to hit,
Blade feel, Cavity forgivness!!!
