The OEM had drivers win on the PGA, DP World, LPGA and Champions Tours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But on this week&#8217;s GOLF&#8217;s Fully Equipped, co-hosts Kris McCormack and Wadeh Maroun looked deeper in <a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/gear\/austin-eckroat-wwtc-winners-bag\/\">Eckroat&#8217;s bag<\/a> for his second PGA Tour title, to his split set of <a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/clubpage\/ping-blueprint-s-t-irons-reviews\/\">Ping Blueprint S and Blueprint T irons<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/gear\/pings-blueprint-t-and-s-forged-irons-4-things-you-need-to-know\/\">The Blueprint S and T <\/a>were released earlier this year and are the next generation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/gear\/irons\/first-look-ping-blueprint-irons\/\">original Blueprint iron<\/a> which McCormack recalled as a very visually intimidating iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Historically for Gen 1 Blueprint, it was one of the smallest, most intimidating irons that was in the drawer at True Spec. And I mean, you had to be the elite of the elite, ball striker, to make this thing work consistently well for you,&#8221; McCormack said. &#8220;Had a great feel, but man, it was intimidating to look at. Especially when you got up into that 3-, 4-, 5-iron.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"g-block g-block-article-embed g-block-article-embed--align-right\">\n    <figure>\n\n        <div class=\"g-article-embedded__img-wrapper\">\n                                            <div class=\"article__category gear irons\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/gear\/irons\/\">\n                        Irons                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n                        \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/gear\/irons\/pxg-desert-club\/\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\"\n        class=\"lazy inner\"\n        src=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PXGDesertClub.jpg?width=30\"\n        alt=\"PXG Desert Rescue\"\n        data-src=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PXGDesertClub.jpg\"\n        data-srcset=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PXGDesertClub.jpg?width=300 300w, https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PXGDesertClub.jpg?width=720 600w, https:\/\/golf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/PXGDesertClub.jpg?width=1280 900w\"\n        sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, (max-width: 600px) 50vw, (max-width: 900px) 33vw, 900px\"\n        \n      \/>            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <figcaption>\n            <blockquote><a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/gear\/irons\/pxg-desert-club\/\">PXG&#8217;s latest release may be a whole new type of golf club<\/a><\/blockquote>\n                <span class=\"author \"><span>By:<\/span>\n        <span class=\"author__inner\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/golf.com\/writers\/jack-hirsh\/\">\n                Jack Hirsh            <\/a>\n            \n                            <\/span>\n    <\/span>\n        <\/figcaption>\n    <\/figure>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<p>Then the evolved versions, <a href=\"https:\/\/fairwayjockey.com\/collections\/custom-irons\/products\/ping-blueprint-s-custom-irons?_pos=5&amp;_fid=df3b2ba9a&amp;_ss=c?utm_source=golfcom&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=ping-blueprint-s-and-t-fully-equipped\">a cavity-back Blueprint S<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fairwayjockey.com\/collections\/custom-irons\/products\/ping-blueprint-t-custom-irons?_pos=6&amp;_fid=df3b2ba9a&amp;_ss=c?utm_source=golfcom&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=ping-blueprint-s-and-t-fully-equipped\">muscle-back Blueprint T,<\/a> started popping up in Tour bags and eventually made their way to retail in January, providing options for the best ball strikers that wasn&#8217;t possible with the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Blueprint S, Blueprint T, footprint changed a little bit, but still has that thin top line, nice face progression, little bit of offset, and the ability to combo those is really, really cool,&#8221; McCormack added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"block-shop-card gray\">\n  <a class=\"block-shop-card__inner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/fairway-jockey.myshopify.com\/products\/ping-blueprint-s-custom-irons?utm_source=golfcom&#038;utm_medium=article&#038;utm_campaign=ping-blueprint-s-and-t-fully-equipped\">\n    <!-- Slider Module -->\n    <div class=\"g-block-wrapper--slider\">\n      <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n        <div class=\"g-block-slider__photo\">\n          <img class=\"inner block-shop-card__image lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/5108\/1146\/files\/BlueprintS_iron_7_CavityRender_clipped_rev_1.png?v=1704781741\" data-alt=\"PING Blueprint S Custom Irons\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- END Slider Module -->\n    <div class=\"block-shop-card__infos\">\n                  <h4 class=\"block-shop-card__title\">PING Blueprint S Custom Irons<\/h4>\n              <pre class=\"block-shop-card__price\">$212.5<\/pre>\n            <div class=\"block-shop-card__description\">Developed following extensive testing with PING&#8217;s top tour pros to meet their \u201cmust haves\u201d &#8212; control and precision &#8212; Blueprint S delivers the score-lowering performance demanded by the best players in the world.\nCOMPACT SHAPE\nThe compact shape fits the discerning eye with a thin top line and minimal offset. The 8620 carbon steel head boasts a clean cavity design, distinguished by an eye-catching forged textured pattern and hydropearl 2.0 chrome finish.\nPRECISION POCKET FORGING\nThis patented forging technique allows PING to forge a pocket into the cavity of the 3, 4 and 5 irons. The pocket saves 10 grams of weight, which is re-allocated to increase the MOI and optimize the center of gravity position for more distance and trajectory control.<\/div>\n      <button class=\"btn block-shop-card__cta proshop-shopify-card__cta\">\n        Buy Now      <\/button>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/a>\n  <pre class=\"apple-news-only\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fairway-jockey.myshopify.com\/products\/ping-blueprint-s-custom-irons?utm_source=golfcom&#038;utm_medium=article&#038;utm_campaign=ping-blueprint-s-and-t-fully-equipped\">View Product<\/a><\/pre>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, both the Blueprint irons can be blended with Ping&#8217;s popular i230 irons to increase the number of possible combinations and fit as many players as possible, including McCormack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If I had to go out right now, million dollars on the line, what irons am I putting in the bag?

The narrow soles enable consistent turf interaction from all conditions.\nMOI BOOSTED\nSave for the slight MOI boost from tungsten toe screw and tip weights, it\u2019s a purely forged iron,
