Ping S159 Chrome Wedge
Thanks to two new grinds and a new loft offering, the s159 Wedge represents the most versatile range of Wedges to date, significantly improving performance on chips and expanding customization 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 especially advantageous on full shots. The elastomer insert behind the impact area contributes to a soft and pleasant feel at impact. At address, 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 an exact shape for ideal performance at each loft. Variants with lofts from 54 to 62 degrees have more densely spaced MicroMax grooves so that every chip 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 ensure the cleanest possible contact between the head and the ball. Each impact surface is also coated with a layer that increases friction for better control of launch angle and ball spin.
