1. What irons are you currently playing? Ping i10/S57 combo set
2. What is your natural shot shape with irons? High ball flight, slight fade
3. What shaft and shaft flex is in your irons? KBS Stiff, soft stepped once
4. What length and lie do you play in your irons? Std. length, Blue Dot, one degree strong

Detailed specs are from a Ping fitting a month ago with the S56 anticipating ordering some S55's but a pending adoption has expenditures on hold. At least the club membership was not on the cutting block!!
 
So, being that I was out of the state at an event I've been a bit cluggish hopping in here, and I want to apologize for that.

With that said, this is an exciting one for me and I really cannot wait to see who will be joining me in here!

If you need me to swing a set Jman...id love to join you on this testing journey.
 
Don't think I'll throw my name in the hat for this one. The irons look awesome but I just don't think I can do these justice with a testing. I've really been struggling trying to flight my irons and I can only work the ball one way right now. I know THP doesn't necessarily care, but I do.
Really looking forward to some solid feedback on these!

I'd really really like to join you on this one. These clubs look good and will perform!
 
Great opportunity here from Ping and THP! I think these irons are a little above my pay grade, it will be interesting to see what the testers think.
 
Currently playing: Titleist 962B 4-PW
Shot Shape: Dead straight with a rising penetrating flight
Shaft & Flex: Dynamic Gold Stiff Flex
Length & Lie: Standard for both.

Just hit a prototype at the golf shop and out of 6 total sets, these were the clear winner. I wanna play them more! (and on a course!)

3. What shaft and shaft flex is in your irons? Project X PXi 6.0.
4. What length and lie do you play in your irons? I play standard length, 1* flat.
 
Man, how did I miss this page! Huge thanks to THP and :ping: for letting us put the latest and greatest through their paces!

1. What irons are you currently playing? Currently I play the TaylorMade Burner 2.0. Since I got them I have cut my handicap in half and my ponder has been towards a more "players" iron, such as these.

2. What is your natural shot shape with irons? My natural shot shape is straight with a tiny fade. I like to mix it up and will play both a fade and draw as
necessary.

3. What shaft and shaft flex is in your irons? My irons have the stock stiff Burner shaft. I have been fit for the PX6.0 and KBS Tours, just would prefer to upgrade into a different head as well.

4. What length and lie do you play in your irons? I play the standard length/lie, but feel that a new fitting would likely tweak that.

With all the pondering going on for these, figured this could use a bump. Great opportunity for THP'ers. Thank you again Ping.

Seriously. Prettiest Ping sticks I've seen in eons. I'd love to take these for a spin - they would be comparable to my CMB's I would think, but it would be really interested to see the forgiveness difference since they've been touting extra forgiveness with these vs. the S56.
 
THP is always taking care of us. Can't wait to hear more feedback on these

I can't wait to see what comes out of this testing. These irons are really intriguing. They look awesome and if Ping's claims are true, they should perform as good as they look.
