Once again, PING has raised the bar for highquality irons with the introduction of the i59s. They not only look great, but have some very interesting features, which includes using an aluminum insert between the forged body and face. The AlumiCore Technology insert is comprised of lighter than steel, aerospace aluminum, which permitted PING engineers to move 30 grams of weight from the middle of the club to the to the hosel and toe. This weight distribution measurably increased the resistance to twisting at impact (MOI) for more forgiveness, something even the best players appreciate. “There’s been a lot of anticipation for the i59 iron since we took them out on tour a few months ago, so we’re very excited to bring them to Fast Facts: Ping i59 Irons Better-player category irons Body forged 1025 carbon steel Face 17-4 laser cut stainless steel MicroMax milled grooves AlumiCore insert Toe weight Hosel weight Arccos sensor grip Stock shafts: Project X LS, UST Recoil 760 ES Stock grip: Arccos Golf Pride New Decade MCC White Retail Pricing: $275 per club steel shafts, $290 per club graphite shafts golfers around the world,” said John K. Solheim, PING President. “It’s a true forged blade on the outside, but inside it’s like nothing ever engineered in golf equipment. Our team took on the challenge of disrupting an iron category that traditionally has lacked a lot of performance innovation and they developed an iron unlike any other. The combination of the look, feel and forgiveness ‘when you need it’ sets it apart from anything else in the industry. Once golfers hit it, they’ll be pleasantly surprised by its versatility. The i59 will clearly appeal to better golfers but the combination of forgiveness and clean appearance will attract golfers of all skill levels.” Continuing PING’s commitment to quality, each i59 iron receives an individual inspection at several points in the manufacturing process such as, forging, face machining and sole shaping.
