Who They’re For
The Ping Blueprint T irons are designed specifically for low-handicap golfers who appreciate a traditional-looking iron that delivers exceptional feel, control, and precision.
Unveiling the Blueprint T
The Ping Blueprint T encompasses everything that elite ballstrikers desire in an iron. Its compact size, clean lines, and control-oriented design make it a top choice for professionals like Tony Finau and Tyrrell Hatton.
Unmatched Feel and Precision
Powerful and repeatable swings characterize elite golfers. Rather than seeking increased ball speed or forgiveness, they prioritize enhanced feel and pinpoint accuracy. With the Ping Blueprint T, golfers can experience an elevated level of connection with each shot, knowing exactly where it was struck on the hitting area. Its superior predictability ensures that every swing yields the desired outcome.
Blueprint T: The Pinnacle of Design
Ping has developed the Blueprint T to cater to the specific needs of low-handicappers. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the original Blueprint, the Blueprint T showcases an even more compact profile with a shorter blade length, narrow topline, and minimal offset. Notably, it is the only Ping iron with a single, non-variable blade length in the 3-iron through 8-iron range.
The heads of the Blueprint T irons are meticulously forged from a single piece of 8620 carbon steel. The hitting area is then expertly machined flat, and precise grooves are added to enhance performance.
To further enhance stability and resistance to twisting on off-center hits, Ping designers incorporated tip and toe weights into the Blueprint T. This innovative feature ensures exceptional forgiveness while maintaining the irons’ performance standards.
Refined Launch and Spin Characteristics
The Blueprint T offers a lower launch angle compared to the new Blueprint S, resulting in slightly lower spin rates. The traditional lofts of the clubs provide better control and playability. Notably, the 5-iron possesses a loft of 26 degrees, while the 9-iron boasts a loft of 41 degrees. These consistent lofts enable players and fitters to seamlessly create blended sets, ensuring optimal distance gaps between different types of irons.
