Great pics again Richard!

I really like the finish on them better than other Ping irons.

What's next, the highly anticipated Redwood putters??

[HipCheck]

Wow.. Even though they aren't for me, I like the look. Nice green (not quite lime ).

Interesting that PING is using a name rather than an Alphanumeric for a model name. That's why car companies like BMW use series numbers rather than names. It gets you to remember the brand first, the model second. That's why Acura dropped the Legend, Integra, etc. in favor of the...hey, what are Acuras models?

Thanks for the pics (as always).

[GripandRip06]

Those things look great for sure cant wait to see them hit the pro shops and cant wait to hit them thats for sure maybe look into getting a set hmmmmmm.

[frozen_rope]

Thanks for the photos.
I wish Ping would stop making their new models with cheap plastic medallions in the cavity.

[JHR]

Great pictures Richard,

I would give those irons a whirl.

[Albatros]

Looks like a ton of offset...too bad. I like the green, though.

[binneguru]

so i guess titanium face with tungsten on the toe?
Seems decent maybe it will center the sweet spot for once on irons instead of always being slightly heel biased

I would hit these in the player's version.

[Sakman]

Nice looking irons, but even better looking Adams hybrid!

[maguy1970]

I like the look, would lvoe to see in person. Hey, did anyone notice that the Adams hybrid appears to have "6 6 6" written on the sole?

Have some people sold their soul to be on tour? Is this an option, and if anyone knows how I could give up my eternal soul to golf for a living (successfully I might add, top 10 finish on money list, year in year out) please PM me.

[kkhere]

look good but seemed a little too bulky for my likes

(Great pics Richard!! )

[Makkyla]

Great pics! The pic of the sole makes them appear very wide. Any idea what club that is? Looks almost like an HL PING or the Big Bertha irons.

I think the medallions are different weights for swingweight purposes similar to the x tours. that is what the guy at my local golf etc told me who just got back from a trip to ping.

[igman]

They look a little wide for my liking, but they look very forgiving and solid just looking at the pics. I am pleased to see another color other than blue...that was getting quite long in the tooth, IMO.

Are the S60's going to be in the same color family or different? I would love to see close ups of those ;D

[kblakeney35]

Looks like Ping may have some new wedges coming out as well. Saw Ryan Moore today at the JD Classic w/ a proto Ping wedge with what I believe to be a small cavity towards the topline of the club. Didnt get close enough to snap a pic though sorry guys.

It musta been working cuz he was sticking everything close and then spinning it back some even on 30 yd shots (Though that could of just been fresh grooves).

[WhiteStake]

They look much better than I thought they would. I like the green better than the current blue. I went from ISI's to I3 Blades because of the offset, and these have way more than suits my eye, but I do find the clubs, dare I say, handsome! Cant wait for good pics of the S60's.

[3puttingidiot]

THose look nice, but man, thats a ton of offset!!

[golfsll]

Did anyone notice the writing in the plug on the toe? WTI?

W=tungsten
Ti= Titanium

[mcbush25]

I like the looks of these, but they do seem to have a decent amount of offset and they seem to have very large soles which should help promote higher ball flight. I would love to give these a try and see hwo they play.

[mankit]

Were would this iron fit into compared to the other offerings of Ping?

[shagnat]

Richard, great pics. I have loved Ping for years, but, this one just looks waaay too much of everything, offset, sole, etc. for my taste. If they have a version more friendly to "players" (not that I'm one) that may be something to consider. The finish is great on these clubs. Very non-Ping like finish.

[jokerusn]

Too big, too ugly, too much offset... too bad...

[dbleagleks]

Mmmmmmmmmmmm........Shovel's.

[2downpress]

when do these and the s60's hit the stores?

[arkstorm]

For what I'm sure they're going to charge, they should have included ferrules in the deal.

[dmboak]

Those are some pretty looking irons. The finish has been needed for some time.

[NPVWhiz]

I'm trying to come up with an iron that's had a wider sole than that.

The cavity insert looks like something that has an adhesive backing and is just stuck in there. I think Cleveland golf has patents on elastomeric cavity inserts. I wonder if Ping's working to skirt around the coverage of those patents (which, I might add, is a perfectly legal and legitimate business approach in my humble intellectual property opinion!). The weight port on the I3/G series of irons was cast into the structure of the head if I recall correctly. Maybe it's just the way it looks.

[golfnguitarz]

Is it too late to get them to change the name? Anything but Rapture, ugh.

[dciman1]

Good pics, but looking irons.

I think the sole on the new fusions are wider. They look similar to the Big bertha irons. Maybe nice to try the 2 iron if they make on would imagine it would be easy to hit.
To be honest these irons are not marketed at the guys who look at this board, as many have said sole is too wide and too much offset, but for their target market i'm sure these are one great set of clubs. Ping just don't put out bad clubs.

[Parzinski]

Thank God for Mizuno!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PING is slipping into the "Mac Gregor Zone"......

are they going to sell those at Walmart?

[golfebj]

Nice shots.

Love the finish.

[Bushy]

look like rebadged G5s to me they must have saved a fortune on the R+D on these babies

[slicer365]

At least they aren't as offset as the G5 irons. These compare more to the i3 OSize. I think I found my next set, I bet these irons cost a kidney, however.

Correct, Ping has used the inserts to correct swingweight or get to the customers desired swingweight since the I3 days. They also help to "soften" the feel since it dampens vibration...
They did have a glue problem on some batches of irons, but seems as if that has been corrected and not as many ports are falling out short of you banging it off a tree or leaving it in boiling hot water all night long...

[Carter]

WOW, this site is the best.... fist in photos ALWAYS...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU...

I love the new iron look and also the driver is looking awesome. Even better than the USGA photo.

GREAT JOB GUYS...

[sandy]

They look like a set of hybrids ala the old G2 helper irons or an Adams Idea set. Really wide soles. Sadly the finish on the steel part is the same old guyson. I hope they will spark when rock/sand hit the faces like the old callaway Tung-Tis did, that was great fun at dusk at the driving range. Wait until you see the price on these puppies.

[carrera]

No second thoughts about my i5's after seeing these. No thanks Ping.
