The Ping S159 wedges offer Ping’s most comprehensive grind options ever, making it easier for golfers to select the right bounce and grind combination for their swing. With the U.S. Open taking place at Pinehurst No. 2, the conversation around the importance of wedge grinds and bounce on short Bermuda grass has been a hot topic. While tour players have access to fitters and club builders to help them make the right choice, amateurs may struggle with confident selection. This is where Ping’s wedge fit app comes in, offering a web-based tool to help golfers find the best grinds and gapping solutions for their games.
The app guides golfers through a series of questions about their wedge game, typical playing conditions, and technique to provide two suggested grind options. Golfers can then take these recommendations to a fitter to dial in the specs. The process is quick, easy, and provides gapping information to help golfers configure the rest of their sets. The Ping S159 wedges come in 25 loft/grind combinations, ensuring a proper match for a golfer’s playing conditions and technique. Extensive testing with top Ping tour players has led to wedges that appeal to golfers of all abilities.
The tour-inspired 8620 carbon steel head of the Ping S159 wedges features a soft feel and clean shape with a straighter lead edge for improved results on full shots. Precision-milled grooves vary in dimensions depending on loft to maximize control on full shots or spin around the greens. After going through the online wedge fitting system and testing the recommended grind and bounce options, it was found that the suggestions matched well with swing delivery and course conditions. Consistent control of the vertical strike location is a sign that the right bounce and grind combination is being used.
If you’re a golfer looking to find the best grind and bounce options for your game, head over to Ping’s WebFit wedge app to discover the ideal combination for your swing. The app is easy to use and provides valuable recommendations based on individual playing conditions and technique.
