Ping s159

Tour-leaning, with options - a tour-style wedge for the mid-to-low handicapper and confident ball-striker rather than a maximum-forgiveness design, though the W grind is amazing for players who fear fat shots, adding forgiveness through the turf. Moderate miss-tolerance, boosted by grind choice.

Best-in-class spin and control - named the best wedge for spin in 2024, raising the bar by a couple hundred rpm on full shots and producing high spin across all conditions, the low launch and high spin giving consistent carry with stopping power. Elite, repeatable distance control.

The most versatile Ping wedge yet - six grinds (W/B/S/H/T/E) across 25 loft-grind combos, with the T grind the most versatile for manipulating the face around the greens, and a compact tour shape for shot-making. Among the most versatile wedges in golf for shaping and matching turf.

Soft for a cast wedge - the cast 8620 carbon steel is softened by an elastomer insert behind the face, giving soft feedback with plenty of feel and a pleasing impact despite the vibration-dampening tech. Among the better cast-wedge feels, if not a milled-soft sensation.

A quiet, tight snap - a quiet, tight snap at impact, the elastomer insert keeping the sound subtle and controlled. A clean, premium acoustic, if subtle on mishit feedback.

Best-in-class - hard pushed to find a better-looking wedge, with a clean, simplistic design and satin chrome finish, a compact profile and minimal branding. Offered in Hydropearl chrome or a glare-reducing Midnight. Among the best-looking wedges in golf.
