The Ping S59 irons, sometimes called the Ping S59 blades because they were the most blade-like irons Ping made when they were first released, remain popular as a used set today. In fact, although they first appeared in 2003, Bubba Watson was still using them on the PGA Tour as late as 2013.

Can a 50 degree wedge be a 49 degree club?
Remember wedges can easily be bent a degree or two, strong or weak, to achieve the desired loft spacing.
