Ping iBlade irons overview
The Ping iBlade irons are the successors to the S55s. They are slightly more aesthetically pleasing, especially in the longer irons where, at least to the naked eye, offset seems to have been slightly reduced.
While the S55s had visible technology, the iBlades have been pared back: the tungsten plug is concealed and all you can see is a very slim cavity.
A satin finish gives a really classy look to what Ping describe as their “most workable, forgiving blade-style iron to date”.
You can only admire the blade profile at address – it’s difficult to fault and especially worth a look from anyone who still thinks Ping irons are lacking in style.
The precision-milled face ensures the looks at address are just so, which is crucial in this category when the slightest of blemishes can put off a prospective buyer.
Ping reckon these irons are “up to six yards” longer than the S55s in the long irons and will hit the ball higher and more consistently throughout the set. Perhaps more importantly, dense tungsten weights increase forgiveness levels.
With an array of top-quality shafts available without upcharge, it adds up to quite a package.
This is an iron that should be under consideration for any low handicapper in the market for a new set in the coming months, whether a Ping devotee or someone new to the brand.
