Ping S159 Chrome Wedge
Thanks to two new grinds and a new range of lofts, the s159 wedges represent the most versatile wedge lineup to date, significantly improving performance on approach shots and expanding custom-fitting options. Extensive testing with PING Tour players helped create a wedge that appeals to golfers of all skill levels. The 8620 carbon-steel head is cast into an attractive shape with a straighter leading edge, which is particularly beneficial on full shots. An elastomer insert behind the impact area contributes to a soft, pleasing feel at impact. At address, the compact head features an improved hosel transition with consistent offset that flows seamlessly into the new Blueprint S and T irons.
The milled grooves have a precise shape for ideal performance at every loft. The 54- to 62-degree loft options feature more closely spaced MicroMax grooves, ensuring that every approach shot generates sufficient spin for precise control on half swings. The 46- to 52-degree wedges have wider, deeper grooves with differently angled edges to channel away debris and provide the cleanest possible contact between the clubhead and ball. Each impact area also features a finish that increases friction for better control of launch angle and ball spin.
