Ping S159 Midnight Wedge
Extensive testing with PING Tour players helped create wedges that appeal to golfers of all skill levels. The 8620 carbon steel head is cast into an attractive shape with a straighter leading edge, which is especially beneficial for full shots. An elastomer insert behind the impact area contributes to a soft and pleasant feel at impact. When addressed, the compact head features an improved hosel transition with a consistent offset that smoothly matches the new Blueprint S and T irons.
The milled grooves have a precise shape for ideal performance at every loft. Models with lofts from 54 to 62 degrees have more densely spaced MicroMax grooves to ensure each chip shot has enough spin for perfect control on half swings. Wedges with lofts from 46 to 52 degrees have wider, deeper grooves and edges with a different angle to absorb all debris and provide the cleanest possible contact between the clubface and the ball. Additionally, each impact surface is coated with a layer that increases friction for better control of launch angle and ball spin.
