Sign up Closed: PING S159 Wedges

Nice clubs.

Ping incorporates the gap wedge (UW) in their iron set, but I would definitely include a 50* wedge in my setup.

Would be amazing to get to try out a different brand and set of wedges to keep on the improvement journey!

Another awesome opportunity. Thank you Ping and the Forum Team. It’s only 9:30 am on the East Coast and we have close to 1000 sign ups already. Good luck to all that apply.

Ping make some incredible wedges, I would LOVE to try out the new S159's (especially the eye design versions). I did the fitting app on my computer and I am shocked as to how perfectly it fit me (it matches my current Ping iron specs):

Good luck to the winners and this is another reason why MyGolfSpy is so great to the community, providing stuff like this!

Looking good these wedges!! Great how easy the system is to decide your specs.  Would be very interested to get the opportunity to give these a try out on the course.  Especially in the darker finish 

Im apparently useless with a wedge lol.  It sent me this.

ChipR

Loft(s):38.5°

Color Code:Blue (1° Upright Lie Angle)

Length:Standard

 

Description:

Combines elements of a putter and a wedge for golfers who struggle executing chips with a traditional wedge. Played with a putting-like stroke to achieve distance control and consistency without fear of chunking or blading shots. Perimeter weighted for forgiveness, with MicroMax grooves for spin control, a cambered sole for versatility, and a compact size for confidence. Recommended for shots within 40 yards of the green from the rough or fringe.

 

Lol....oook.

Im not THAT bad with a wedge.

WOWZZA... what a great testing opportunity!! I think these wedges are going to be a hit on the market. This will be a particularly fun test to follow.  Big shout out to the folks at PING and our MGS staff for making this happen   Good luck to everyone.

Never tried a ping wedge before.   Always been a Cleveland or titleist man.   The app is a nice feature.

I’d love the opportunity to test these against my trusty SM8 Vokeys (and the Callaway 56 i just added) and see if they can dethrone them!

 

Very interested in these!  Thanks for the opportunity!

Looking forward to this opportunity.  Hopefully, I will get lucky on the random draw.

Awesome opportunity, good luck to everyone that applies! The app and the wedges both look fantastic

Good luck guys. Another fun one to follow. 

Wow!!! That’s all I can say.

Time for some new tools for the tool bag?

I've been looking to change up my wedge options recently, so this would be perfect testing.

Never played ping iron I currently play muzino 921 hot metals and heard pings are just as good as muzinos

They are great but I would dare to say most golfers who love Mizuno irons would most likely not be immediately impressed by the sound/feel as they are far different unless they are in the Game Improvement lineup. The wedges are a different story they are as good as far as feel/sound as any and better!!! I thought I would never play anything but Vokey but after hitting one of these for an hour I replaced 3 out of 4 of my Vokeys with these!!!

Bummed that I won't be able to join the live Q&A (I have a quarterly meeting with the local school district) but I have a short story to share that may encourage others to join who were on the fence...

In 2005, I was fortunate enough to travel to Phoenix / Scottsdale to become a PING certified fitter.  The experience was incredible and something I haven't forgotten.  We were given a complete tour of the foundry, the gold putter vault, the putting lab and at the end of the tour, sat down with the Solheim family...yeah...full on access.  

I have a tremendous amount of respect for the Solheim family and PING not just as a company, but as a brand that is truly committed to making the best products with direct oversight of that process.  I'm not sure what this afternoon's agenda but I have a good feeling that this will be a great opportunity to really connect with some excellent minds.  PING has my full respect as one of the elite innovators.

Man as a guy who switched into a PING driver five years ago and irons a year ago iam super jealous of the gold putter vault!!!! I want to see it as iam a putter collecting junkie!!! The wedges are fantastic and were enough to make a lifelong Vokey guy swap 3 out of the 4 that I carry

Make sure you check out the following thread to ensure you're doing everything you can be in regards to having an opportunity to be selected! I can assure you, none of our member testing opportunities are "random draws" as they are not prizes to be won, but rather thorough, 4-6 week tests where the members selected will go through a thorough process of testing, and reviewing, the S159 wedges.

One of the criteria required for testing is a photo and complete profile, so make sure you start there! 

I've never played Ping wedges but these look really slick and ping makes great equipment. Would love to see how they stack up to my Vokey wedges.

I'm really exited about the webfit wedge app. Wedge fitting is very intriguing to me. 

Currently reading Dan Grieve’s 3 Releases, love to use these Ping wedges and pit them against my SM9’s. Be a great reason to actually practice my short game a bit more!

Looking to order in Ping i230 irons based on their forgiveness review from MGS. Hit a Ping Glide wedge once and loved it. Not sure why I still have Vokey's in my bag. Wonder how these will test.
