Sign up Closed: PING S159 Wedges

Always love the opportunity to try out new wedges. The additional grind options could definitely be something that sways me away from Vokey wedges. Looking forward to reviewing or seeing the reviews on these wedges. 

What a great opportunity! Good luck to everyone!  
 

 

Still using   Ping BECU PW, SW       Would Love to participate in testing the new PING wedges...   online fitting is very interesting...    THANK   

This would be fun. Have spent quite a bit of time this winter understanding how to use bounce to really improve my short game. Good luck all

I'm not surprised at the results at all! Being 100% truthful on the fit is important.  

Funny tidbit, I went through the full webfit for kicks, I was curious . Not bad selections.

Thanks @PING and MGS for this great testing opportunity.  If selected,  I will provide the members and public with my most thorough and rigorous efforts. This sign-up already has me searching into all the different facets of wedges technology. I never realized the depths that bounce, lie, grind, sole design, etc goes into how they affect your shots. Good luck to everyone !!!

You are correct about being honest with the inputs…I did a Vokey online fitting and have been very happy with the clubs from that.  But in playing around with the inputs, it would spit out a number of different configurations.  But, if you know your swing, it can be very helpful with the options available.

Have always played PING irons. Not so much their wedges. Last PING wedge I played were the Anser model but I've moved on from that set. Currently gaming iE1 irons with either Callaway Jaws Raw or Mizuno T10 wedges. Would love to give the PING wedges a whirl to see if they find their way into my bag full time.

I'm looking forward to testing the Ping 159 wedge. Playing taylormade Sim 2 now.

Would love to participate in this test, thanks for the opportunity and good luck everyone!

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.

I have been dying to try ping wedges. Love the look, and seems they may be stepping into the realm of top notch wedges. 

This is an amazing opportunity for the MyGolfSpy community. I have been seriously considering getting fitted for these new Ping s159 Wedges. For me personally, it's always about the grind. As an uneducated, new golfer, it took me some time to discover grinds, what they meant, and how extremely important they are. This led me to the next highly important objective: course management research on the golf course I was preparing to play. That decided which grind I was going to use for my short game.

Anyway, tip of the cap to those at MyGolfSpy management who work hard to provide these opportunities. Semper Fi!

 

What a way to kick off a Thursday! 

Good luck, y'all! 

I love another great opportunity from MGS. I also love seeing everyone's fitting. Always such variance. Good luck everyone!

I’d never really considered Ping for wedges until I tried the glide a couple weeks ago. Felt amazing and spun loads more than my current wedges. Looking forward to this test as my wedges are on their last legs. 

Good luck to all potential testers! I'm looking forward to this opportunity and results, over time have become more of a Ping fan, started with a putter that I was given and recently got a set of irons and driver over the past year. Currently using the stock wedges and CHPR while working on improving my short game and figuring out what works for me.

Tried my cousins ping Wedges from a year or two ago and had amazing accuracy just chipping around and hit into his bag on purpose first try while waiting at the tee box . Hope I can get my own set 

My wedge game is like the wind: variable and never consistent.  I’ve been hesitant using golf apps, mainly for security reasons, but I’ll try this out because MGS is signing off on it.

Good to see Ping offering more grind options and the fitting app sounds interesting. Should be a good test, good luck to those that apply. 

 

boy I will test every wedge until I can find one that gets me out of the sand consistently.

Wow! I bought some Vokeys last year replacing my older ping wedges. I wish I had kept my Pings! Would love to test these !!

I have been a PING wedge user since the PING Eye 2 S & L days.

Currently using PING Tour-W 50/12 & 56/14 wedges.

Retiring to Florida, I have found the need for wedges of varying grinds.  One minute you are in thick Bermuda green-side rough and the next minute you have a super-tight, grainy lie. Not to mention the need for fairway shots of 100 yards in wet Summers and windy dry Winters.

I seem to always need a "Super-Magic-Adaptable-Versa Grind"!   

The PING Wedge Fitting App should really help people think about their needs and get the proper wedges in their bags.

Got my current Ping wedges 5 years ago — time to upgrade?  Good luck to everyone!

Those look nice! I have never really hit any PING clubs. Really like my JAWS wedges currently. Would love to try these though!

Interesting that a gap wedge wasn’t recommended. I generally hit my PW 150 and my 54 goes 120. That’s a sizable gap that I feel with my 50 that goes about 135. Other wise the grinds and bounce seem right on the mark. 

Just bought a new set of ping irons! I love wedges and I love trying out different ones! Have always wanted to try out the Ping’s wedges but haven't had a chance. I like to buy wedges that I have had a chance to hit in a course condition. Hitting them in a simulator does nothing for me, I want to pick a ball out of the rough and see it stop up on the green! Or a nice bunker shoot or 75 yards from pin and stick it close! 
 

I have said for years there needs to be a way to actually test out wedges before you buy them. Give us a chance to give them a real golf test. I think more than any other club you just want to get a good feel and comparison before you commit. Especially at $180 a club. 

What a great opportunity this will be. I don’t play Ping wedges. I have been a Titleist and CallawAy wedge player. For this year I am playing TaylorMade. My short game has been one of my strengths for quite a few years, and I would love the opportunity to give these a go!! Good luck to all of the testers!
