The Ping S56 is possibly the closest anyone has yet come to the perfect marriage between cavity back and blade irons.
In the picture above it looks pretty much like any other Ping cavity back, but when you put this club down behind a ball,
everything changes. The "engine" of the club is no longer visible, and what you see is a very serious blade-like iron.
It has a thin top-line, almost no offset, a compact face, and unlike any other Ping iron - it has a ferrule.
All of this made the Ping S56 very appealing to the vast majority of our mid-low handicap testers.
Launch angle is ideal - quite high but with enough power and penetration to satisfy most golfers. Feel is solid and powerful.
It lacks the softness of say a Mizuno blade, but most of our testers forgave it because the performance was so good.
