PING S56 irons

Earlier this month Louis Oosthuizen was too good for the field at St Andrews as he ran away with the 139th Open Championship. In his bag that week were the new PING S56 irons and it was evident from day one that the South African felt at ease with his new clubs.

PING has provided a higher moment of inertia for greater forgiveness and the tungsten weight in the long irons positions the centre of gravity further back to produce a higher ball flight.

After his Open victory, Oosthuizen said: "I'm very thankful to be part of the PING Tour staff.

"The new irons gave me the confidence to play some very difficult shots around St Andrews and I was also able to drive my ball long and straight.

"My entire game was under control this week and I attribute a lot of that to my PING equipment."
