Introduction
The 2024 PING Blueprint irons are a bold departure from the brand’s traditional player-improvement offerings, catering instead to the demands of highly skilled golfers seeking maximum control and workability. Available in two distinct models – the Blueprint S and Blueprint T – these irons represent the pinnacle of PING’s forging craftsmanship, delivering exceptional feel, precision, and performance.
Model Breakdown
Blueprint S
The Blueprint S is the ultimate blade iron for the confident ball-striker. Its compact head design, thin top line, and minimal offset exude a classic tour look and demand precise control. Crafted from forged 8620 carbon steel, the S delivers a pure, responsive feel that rewards skilled swings with exceptional feedback and workability. This model is best suited for low-handicap golfers with a consistent swing who prioritize workability and shot-shaping over forgiveness.
Blueprint T
The Blueprint T offers a slightly more forgiving option compared to the S, while maintaining the core principles of precision and control. It features a slightly wider sole and a touch more offset, providing increased stability and forgiveness on off-center hits. The T is still a forged iron with a premium feel, but its design caters to a wider range of skilled golfers who value control and workability without sacrificing absolute precision.
