PING has introduced it new line of IRONS designed for better players.
The NEW stainless steel PING S57 irons, which follow Ping's popular S58 models, debuted on the PGA and European tours last week. Jeff Maggert and Ted Purdy also have put the new irons in play, and Bubba Watson is reportedly testing them in practice. On the European Tour, Angel Cabrera and Louis Oosthuizen put the S57s in their bags.
The blade-style S57 uses tungsten weighting in the toe to increase MOI and create a lower center of gravity. The S57 has a smaller head and less offset than the S58s.
"The CG is positioned closer to the face to produce the penetrating ball flight preferred by tour and better players," said Pete Samuels, Ping's Director of Communications, in an email.
The irons' design is similar to the Ping Tour W wedges, which also use tungsten weights in the toe. Ping has released the S57 irons in Japan, but they are not yet available in the U.S. market. Samuels said that they are expected to be released in early fall.

I have just tried them today and they feel fabulous. The distance is there as the big cavity backs - but the feel is great. Would love to know how much they cost.
I have hit these at a demo day. Look great, feel great. The only thing i couldn tell was how they compared to my old clubs in distance.
Awesome irons.
