Buying Guide: Irons
We spoke about the best drivers of 2022 last week, but this week we’re putting irons under the microscope. What comes out on top? It’s time to find out…

As you’ll see on TV, Whistling Straits is a brutal course. The winds off Lake Michigan will mean that iron shots have to be precise beyond belief. You might not be winning Ryder Cups at Whistling Straits, but winning a monthly medal still requires dialled-in irons.
When it comes to being precise beyond belief, there’s only one place to start. That’s right, PING are back and they’re getting you more dialled-in that ever before! The brand-new i59 irons are actually designed with a Tour-preferred shape that will work wonders around Whistling Straits for the likes of Lee Westwood and Tyrrell Hatton.
From there, PING worked on turning that shape into results. The MicroMax grooves – engineered with tight spacing and four EXTRA GROOVES – deliver controlled, consistent shots in all conditions. On top of that, the AlumiCore uses Aerospace-grade aluminium for sublime feel and precision when you’re attacking the flag.
Equally important, of course, is what happen when you don’t catch the ball quite right. That’s where the tungsten heel & toe weighting of the i59 iron comes into the mix; delivering forgiveness on off-centre strikes. And, if all this wasn’t enough, the Hydropearl 2.0 finish actually repels water to maintain the same Tour-level performance even in wet weather. Amazing!
You’ll see it on TV, and now you have the chance to make it a reality. A pure iron strike may be one of the best feelings in the world, so why not enjoy that feeling more often than ever before with these irons?
