Ping S259 Chrome Wedge
The S259 model builds on the successful S159 series and takes spin and control to the next level. New grind adjustments and an expanded loft selection allow for more precise fitting for players of all skill levels.
Tour-preferred head shape
The compact head profile is based on the demands of professionals. The shape elegantly "embraces" the golf ball at address and creates a clean look behind the ball. The smooth transition of the hosel and the sole groove across the entire width of the impact area support visual confidence at address.
A larger elastomer insert inside the 8620 carbon steel head ensures a soft, muted feel at impact, preferred by Tour players. The result is precise feedback without unpleasant vibrations.
High friction. Maximum spin.
Wheel-cut grooves combined with a fully milled impact area and advanced face-blast technology increase surface texture and maximize friction at impact. This means:
- higher spin
- better distance control
- lower and penetrating ball flight trajectory.
The grooves are also milled with different dimensions according to loft, optimizing spin for full shots and delicate chips around the green.
Performance surface finishes
All combinations of lofts and grinds are available in two finishes:
- Hydropearl 2.0 Chrome – a hydrophobic finish that repels moisture, helping maintain control and consistency even in wet conditions or from the rough.
- Midnight – dark, anti-reflective finish that eliminates glare and gives the club an attractive, Tour look.
Grind overview
- B Grind: Low bounce, wider sole. Ideal for players with a shallow attack angle and square impact face. Sits low to the ground and offers forgiveness even on firmer surfaces. Lofts: 58°, 60°.
- H Grind: Developed based on the PING WRX "half-moon" shape. Versatile in softer conditions, suitable for steeper swings. Supports various impact face and hand positions and ensures excellent turf interaction. Lofts: 54°, 56°, 58°, 60°.
- S Grind: Universal option for a wide range of players. Medium bounce supports full shots with a square impact face, while heel and trailing edge relief allows creativity around the green. Lofts: 46°–60°.
- W Grind: Maximum forgiveness through turf. Designed for steep attack angles and players with more forward shaft lean. Suitable for those who want the look of a specialized Wedge but need higher error tolerance. Lofts: 50°–60°.
- E Grind: Shape inspired by Eye2. Specific cutout in the middle of the sole provides softer, more controlled shots from tightly mown surfaces. The trailing edge with higher bounce adds confidence when playing from bunkers. Lofts: 58°, 60°.
- T Grind: Lowest effective bounce (6°). The most versatile grind with significant trailing edge relief for easier opening of the impact face. Great on hard and firm surfaces. Lofts: 58°, 60°, 62°.
Complete system solution
The S259 is not just a club head. The new Dyla-Grip and lightweight Z-Z115 shaft are designed as a system to enhance wedge performance. The grip is ¾" longer, with less taper for better control. It includes visual indicators for different grip positions, shortened grips, shaft lean, and impact face manipulation. The low balance point of the shaft supports better feel of the club head during short game shots.
The PING S259 Chrome Wedge is ideal for players who want maximum spin control, precise distance, and the ability to fine-tune to their swing. It combines a Tour look, soft impact feel, and cutting-edge technology for confidence on every green-side shot.
