If there was an for golf clubs, you’d find a direct DNA link between the new PING i59 forged irons and PING’s original S59 from 2003. Compared to PING’s more traditional offerings, the S59 was smaller, thinner-soled and better-player-centric. The new 0211 ST irons from PXG are triple forged from 8620 soft carbon steelthe same carbon steel used to cast Vokey wedges by Titleist and forge Ping Blueprint irons.
And while you couldn’t call it a blade, it was more blade-like than anything else PING’s offered. Good enough for the tour, but designed for the average Joe, 0211 ST Irons feel as good as they look.-PXG founder and CEO Bob Parsons.

Over the next decade, PING would update the S59 by going backward in number. The S58 arrived in 2006, followed by the S57, S56 and, finally, by the S55 in 2013. The next iteration, in 2016, was the iBlade. Like its predecessors, it wasn’t really a blade, thanks to elastomer inserts and a buttload of tungsten. But at least it kinda-sorta looked the part. And while it looks like a one-piece forged muscle-back-it even says “forged” on the hosel-the i59 is kind of an inverse mullet: all business on the outside but a party on the inside. PING staffers Viktor Hovland, Corey Conners and Hunter Mahan, among others, have already swapped their iBlades for the new i59 irons.

The bounce, the blade length and the offset are all very similar. We also wanted a forged design and better feel.” Trajectory-wise, we wanted to make it launch lower and bring a little more flighted trajectory to the design.
