Ping i59

[smg6165]

Finally got these in my hands. I couldn’t believe how small they looked at address for me. Felt like a dramatic change from previous “I” models.

Well the name does combine both - i series & s series

i series forgiveness in an s series body size

Never thought of it like that. Makes complete sense now. I felt like they were marketing it as the new “i.” I knew it wouldn’t fit me when my local fitting pro said “I can’t game them.” I thought the blueprints looked easier to hit.

I have power spec as well, to match my gaps from i500.  They are all flying the same, a bit lower and more spin.   Allowed me to get more "great shots" but I do notice a bit less forgiveness on mishits, and obviously with more spin if I get offline on the strike they fade or draw more. 

 

Hit some bombs with these.... beware of humble brag upcoming....170yd, 1.5 club uphill, out of a waste bunker into the wind...flew a 5i right over the flag.  Flew exactly the distance expected, 190y.  Loving them, still tweaking lies and such but so close.   Distance control and feel of S55, distance forgiveness of the I series, no doubt.

Yeah these don't like high toe or thin- both of those miss are punishment

Just messured groove lenght (2nd from bottom) of 5i on i210 and i59 —) same lenght. 
overall blade lenght is bit shorter in i59. 
i59 is shallower blade and thinner. For me that makes it visualy smaller.

Switched from Blueprints to i59s.  I like the extra forgiveness.

Thanks, this helped. I ordered a 5 iron in my specs and that will give me a true idea of what I am dealing with. I hit the fitting cart 7 iron head pretty well. 
 

I did a long side by side comparison between the i59 and Mizuno Pro 223 and they were pretty comparable. Mizuno was 4 yards longer but also 2* stronger loft. 

FYI: I ordered on the 23rd which means it didn’t get entered until the 27th and got confirmation that the 5 iron shipped today. Take into consideration Xmas and New Year's and that is a pretty fast build. Shipping on the other hand is 5 days so I will get it next Monday.

Can’t wait spring and course opening. 
i59 perform, feel, look is so good!

Just scanned the bags of Ping PGA tour staff on their website.  Surprised how few of their staff have these in their bags 4-5 have full i59 bags with 1-2 with i59 short irons.  iBlades, BP and i210 still dominate - i59, not so much.

I'm gonna go ahead & say it

 

 

These are the best, most consistent short irons I've ever played. So easy to flight & control

 

Now,  if the damn Rona - will leave my vaccinated family alone......I'll be much happier

Does anyone have a time table for delivery on orders now being place.  Looking to order a set of 59's next week with Modus 105 shafts.  Thanks

[wobgon]

Any comparisons between these and s55's.

My i59 with Modus 105 stiff was about 8 weeks in Europe. Positive was that clubs did arrive 2-3 weeks earlier than what was original delayed delivery date. 

If you want these clubs, ask Ping rep. if they have information about situation of shafts (my delay was shafts) or place order as early as possible to get these before summer.

Ask dealer to check component availability. When I ordered shortage in Europe was different shafts. Another set was ordered wit AWT Ping shaft and they came 3 weeks earlier, but missing P-Wedge because they didn’t have shaft for that.

Dispersion is driven by many factors, just not the club head. Hitting the 6-iron instead of a 7-iron into a green is awesome, said no one ever...SMH! 

Do you play golf?

[bobbyclampett!!]

Anyone compared the i59 to the PXG Gen 4 T? Seems like the comparable iron from PXG. I recently picked up the Gen 4 X driving iron and the thing is sweet. Has a softer feel than my i200s. If I was going to upgrade irons, I would definitely want to test the Gen 4 X against the i59.

Played s55 for 6 years. Got my 59’s in November. I’ve played a lot with them. The 59s feel/sounds softer. They are also more forgiving. Forgiving to me is short to long dispersion depending on strikes. I’m very happy with the 59s. I play them 4-pw power specs with modus 105x. With power specs they are half a club longer than my old 55s. Hope this is helpful.

Any feedback on how the finish holds up.

[specimania]

I think it’s the same finish as most other pings. After awhile you get a nice industrial look. No bubbles though! 
My set is sitting in the bag waiting for golf to start. My initial thoughts would be same wear on finish as any HP2 Ping irons with a little more susceptibility to dings and chatter

[WarEagleGolf]

Probably got 10 rounds on them...I mostly wall.  Faces are showing where I hit the ball most often, the rest of the clubs look great, only marks are from some lie adjustments.  

 

I never saw an issue with the i500 hydropearl, but some didn't like it. Still have those too, still look great.  

[wobgon]

Question to anyone who has re shafted the i59's. I notice they show a copper weight or sleeve in the hosel of these....Wondering if this comes into play and if it becomes an issue when doing re shaft.

For me the t100 was faster ball speed and less spin

I agree T100 had slightly higher bs and lower spin. I owned both but prefer the i59 spin consistency that makes accuracy so much better for me.

I'm really surprised at the mixed reactions to these great clubs. I got the 6-9 irons when they were released. I was gaming MP20 blades in the short irons and HMB in the long irons for reference. I wanted to see how the mid and short irons performed before I figured out my 2022 set up. In short, these are spectacular irons. They feel terrific - not harsh or clicky like others have said. Maybe not soft, but SOLID feeling. Most importantly, they do exactly what they advertise. Super consistent, surprisingly forgiving given the compact size (just don't hit low toes), and overall top of the line performance. Yes, the price is a bit steep. Yes, the looks are not for everyone. But if you're a decent player, the performance is way better than a traditional blade. They outperform my MP20s, they feel great, and I'll be using them with enthusiasm. Can't say enough good things about them, and I love the look. Especially at address - they are just phenomenal. I thought WRXers would love these things.
