lansering fra Ping
01.10 Ping:
Nye jern kommer nå
Ping har være en pioner innen puttere siden 1960-tallet. Ikke lenge
etterpå ble selskapet en pioner også på jernkøller. Nå kommer et nytt skudd på
stammen - S55.
Det er store forventninger til de nye jernene som nå blir tilgjengelige for
alle. Golfsiden har ikke fått testet køllene ennå, men de ser unektelig
spennende ut.
Bubba Watson, Hunter Mahan, Miguel Ángel Jiménez og Ángel Cabrera er noen av
spillerne som har byttet til de nye køllene umiddelbart. Bubba har skiftet
jernkøller for første gang siden 20044.

PING launches S55 iron, new club of choice for Hunter Mahan, Bubba Watson...
PHOENIX (Oct. 1, 2013) – In engineering its new S55™ players’ iron, PING wasn’t
out to overhaul the design innovations that made its predecessor, the S56®, an
unquestioned success on tours worldwide. And yet, in consultation with PING tour
pros, the modifications they made improved workability, control and forgiveness
so much that many of the company’s star players switched immediately to the S55
iron.
The new iron will be available in golf shops in early November, and can be
ordered beginning today.
“The S56 has contributed to more than 30 tour wins worldwide, including an Open
Championship, and its record has generated a lot of anticipation for the
follow-up model,” said John A. Solheim, PING Chairman & CEO. “But that kind of
challenge excites us. We’re motivated by pushing innovation, and we were able to
elevate performance with the S55 in key areas. Bubba Watson, Hunter Mahan,
Miguel Ángel Jiménez, and Ángel Cabrera are some of the players who switched
right away, and validation from the game’s best players tells us that we got it
right.”
Solheim said pros are especially pleased how the S55 iron gives them more
control over their pre-impact face alignment for improved workability while
increasing forgiveness – two critical attributes that are difficult to improve
simultaneously. “They’re able to work the ball more easily and flight it up and
down like never before,” he said. The 17-4 stainless steel head features
tungsten toe weighting for increasing the MOI, and a vertical stabilizing bar
for distance control. The custom tuning port is larger and sits lower in the
back cavity, which positions the CG lower and deeper to promote higher launch
with improved energy transfer. Solheim said players are hitting the ball
substantially higher and further.
The machined face, grooves and back cavity, compact shape, thin top lines, and
brushed satin-chrome finish speak to PING’s emphasis on quality and attention to
detail. “Pros have really responded to the look of this iron,” Solheim said.
“It’s a beautiful piece of engineering. It looks great and performs even better.”
Watson is one of many players who have responded to the S55’s overall
performance. His switch to the S55 iron was the first time he’s changed models
since 2004.
For his part, Mahan appreciated the softer feel and trajectory control, but
that’s not all. “After the first swing, I knew the S55 was going in my bag, no
question,” he said. “I love the control, the trajectory and the forgiveness.
It’s everything I want in a golf club.”
