The Ping S57 irons were launched in the UK on 01 August 2008. I remember it clearly because I was eagerly waiting for their release. As a golfer, I was excited to get my hands on these new irons and see how they would improve my game.
The S57 irons were specifically designed for men and were available in both left and right-hand options. This was great news for me as a right-handed golfer, as I could easily find a set that suited my needs.
One of the key features of the S57 irons is the material used in their construction. They are made from high-quality steel, which provides durability and strength. This was important to me because I wanted a set of irons that would last me a long time and withstand the rigors of regular use on the golf course.
In terms of the shaft types, the S57 irons were available with steel shafts. This was my preference, as I find steel shafts offer a good balance of control and power in my swing. I have tried graphite shafts in the past but found that they didn’t give me the same level of control as steel shafts. Therefore, I was glad that Ping offered the S57 irons with steel shafts.
The Ping S57 irons also feature a cavity back design, which helps to distribute the weight of the clubhead more evenly. This results in a more forgiving and consistent ball flight, which is ideal for golfers like me who are looking for forgiveness on off-center hits. I found that the cavity back design of the S57 irons helped me to achieve a more consistent and accurate ball flight, even on mishits.
The Ping S57 irons were a game-changer for me. They provided me with the performance and consistency I was looking for in my iron play. The launch of the S57 irons in 2008 was an exciting time for golfers, and I was fortunate enough to be able to experience the benefits of these irons first-hand.
