You are the right person for these if you are a solid ball striker. If you don't want to pay a fortune for a new set, these are the best bargain on Ebay. The S59's are the most solid feeling irons I've hit. These clubs can be great for you if you buy the right ones fit for you. Ping helps to make this easier, especially for you folks buying on Ebay, and not in a store. I did the static fit on Ping.com and previously had a local professional fit me dynamically. Because of this, I found the perfect match for me and I'm not afraid to buy them online. The website even tells you which shaft to go with if you know how far you typically hit your 6 iron. I found that by working on tempo and not trying to kill the ball, I am able to gain considerable distance and accuracy over my old irons (Titleist DCI 990) just by using these clubs and slowing it down a bit. When you buy the proper length and lie, you will be amazed at how much better you strike the ball. My point is this; get a solid fitting in before you buy any irons. They might be a good deal, but there is a reason Ping fits you to the club. About the Ping irons. These irons play well. I found it easy to shape shots from right to left. It was a bit more difficult left to right, but I've never been able to do that well anyhow. Because I was able to let the club hit the ball and control my tempo better, the ball flight is consistent and the carry is, too. My accuracy has increased dramatically, as well. Especially from the 8 iron down to the pitching wedge. The shot trajectory is much higher and softer landing with these and I don't get a lot of roll. Again, especially from the 8 iron down. I attribute a lot of the improvements to the change in my tempo, but I give the Pings the credit for helping me change the tempo of my swing and really feel what I am doing with the shot more than that of other irons I have hit. Mishits are not so bad either. You really have to shank the ball or leave the clubface open to mess a shot up with these. Expect to pay more for the various graphite shafts. The Ping custom WRX clubs are usually more as well. If you find a set of Pingss with a matching sand wedge, jump on them because the sand wedges are hard to find individually. A lot of times, the owners name has been applied to the club. I found you can get this off easily with acetone and light sandpaper if it is screened in and not etched. You might ask the seller when this is listed this way. In addition, if you are not very good at the long irons (2,3, and 4) you may want to look at the G5 hybrids. I have them too. If you hit the ball hard, but typically slice or hook, the hybrids dramatically reduce the mishit effect. Be careful when bidding. There are some demo clubs floating around out there. Check with the seller for serial numbers as all Ping consumer clubs have them. Pay attention to feedback scores. This is Ebay's barometer of service. I swear by the feedback system. I hope you found this info helpful.Read full review
For 25 years I've always wanted a set of Ping clubs. They have always meant quality to me, and now that I have some, I know I was right. In two rounds, I've seen the quality of my shots increase, and my scores lower. Yes, these clubs are old and today's supposed technology is better, but you could have fooled me. I love them.

I agree with most that rate these irons for the players. I was a 6 handicap with Ping ISI Nickel (also great). I bought new Ping G5's and did not like the feel so I bought a set of Ping S59's on Ebay because I got a great price and they were the right lie and length. Well...I'm a 0 handicap is just a few months. These fly lower and sit on the green nicely. Right to Left (a draw) is easy, straight is ok, and Left to Right is ok. With these irons you really need to work the ball R-L or L-R as these are players clubs and the Pros rarely hit the ball straight; mosty draw or fade and that's how your score goes down. The Ping G5's....straight, straight, and straight which may be good for a 10+ handicap but not if you want to start scoring 72's. So get the S59's now while the S58's have hit the market. There is only a slight difference. Next year maybe the S58's when they come down to Ebay prices.Read full review
The S-59 irons are a very traditional blade like set-up, have very little offset and align easily with bottom groove being painted white. This is in my opinion, the best looking iron Ping has made and instill confidance at address. The Tour Flighted Rifle shafts are, of course, a steppless shaft which is very appealing as well. The irons with the Flighted shafts have a very preditable trajectory, not to high (balloning), nor to low. They are not the easiest shafts to work the ball with from R to L, or L to R for me however. I don't consider this a fault however, as the weather and practise time limits my ability to swing well right now. The shafts, 5.0, do release well, and have a good deal of feel but not harsh as some step type shafts. These are very forgiving irons, though you can tell when hit towards toe. The narrow sole will require good ball striking, if not, they will play as a true blade with less than desireable results. I would recommend these irons and shafts for anyone who is a decent player, as you will be able to improve using them as your ability increases. The Rifle shafts will also prolong joint wellness, as they have good dampening without sacrificing feel.Read full review
Great irons with a blade appearance but non-blade performance. I've tried these both with CS-Lite and Z-Z65 shafts. The Z-Z65 shafts work well with these clubs (CS shafts made the clubs feel too light), but I think they would be even better with Dynamic Gold. Unfortunately, to re-shaft these clubs at Ping is about $330. These irons provide excellent distance control. There are no hot/flier shots off of the club face. What you put in energy-wise is what you get out of them. I would also like them with a little less bounce on the shorter irons for chipping purposes. Overall, though, they are straight, straight irons which do help you hit more greens in regulation, and give you confidence that if you are swinging well, you will score well. They are one of my favorites and I like them better than the S-57s for sound and feel.Read full review
