Spotted: Ping Blueprint T irons
We recently have been speculating about the Ping Blueprint S irons that we saw just a few weeks ago, but now we have the Blueprint T irons! The Blueprint T irons we spotted this week at the FedEx St. Jude. We don’t have any details on the technical changes or specs, but we can definitely speculate a few things from the photos.
Blade length almost looks a little stretched compared to the current Blueprint iron, but overall a still very compact head shape. Soles are narrow and should offer more skilled players solid turf interaction. The toplines are very thin and come to a sharper and more edge-like point out at the toe with the actual toe being a little rounded.
The 4-iron has just a slight bit of offset, and when you get down to the pitching wedge, there is very minimal offset, which should suit the eye of many golfers. Ping’s toe weight is included in these irons, and we can bet that it is combined with a non-removable hosel weight to keep the swingweight correct as well as increase the MOI of the head.
It looks like 13 MicroMax grooves on the 7-iron that should control spin from any lie and reduce the “flyers” you can get. Cosmetics are very subtle and even the back muscle blends well into the back of the club for a soft and clean look.

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

This is another beautiful looking iron from Ping. These should sell really well though I’m sad that I no longer have the speed to play at blade like this….or I’d be first in line for a set.

I believe the word you are looking for is ‘minimal’.
