Where it wins
- Feel92
- Looks92
- Workability91
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You're an elite ball striker who insists on a blade - a forged muscle-back with the best workability, feel and turf interaction PING makes, for shaping and flighting every shot.
You need any forgiveness, easy launch or distance (the Blueprint S or a players-distance iron), or you don't strike it consistently from the centre.
Pros
- Possibly PING's best blade ever - a single-piece forged 8620 muscle-back built for trajectory control and feel
- Elite workability - varying curvature and trajectory is delightfully easy
- Narrow soles that cut through the turf like a knife through butter
- More ball speed than previous Blueprints, with increased max height for green-holding
Cons
- A muscle-back blade - you lose forgiveness for the workability, precision and feel
- Elite ball strikers only - it isn't for everyone
- Traditional lofts and blade distance - a control iron
By dimension
Forgiveness
ModestA blade - demanding - you lose forgiveness in exchange for workability, precision and feel, it isn't for everyone, for elite players only. Low forgiveness, for the skilled ball striker.
Distance
SolidBlade distance, a touch faster - it produced more ball speed than previous generations, but remains a traditional-lofted blade, a control iron rather than a distance one. Short by modern standards, by design.
Workability
Class-leadingThe shaper's blade - varying curvature and trajectory delightfully easy, with great workability, the muscle-back putting a premium on trajectory control. Elite, blade-grade workability.
Feel
Class-leadingPossibly PING's best - the muscle-back concentrates mass through the impact zone for a pleasing feel, feeling every strike making this perhaps PING's best blade ever. Elite, blade-grade feel.
Sound
ExcellentPure and pleasing - the muscle-back delivers a pleasing, soft note, a clean, premium acoustic. A refined, blade-grade sound.
Looks at address
Class-leadingClean and classic - a shorter heel-face height that blends the hosel smoothly into the top rail for a clean, distraction-free look, with classic blade beauty. One of the best-looking blades of its era.
