It has been a few years, but we are very happy to have PING golf clubs back as part of our Forum Member Testing! The PING s159 are the newest wedges from PING; however, it is not just new wedges that PING is excited about for this testing opportunity. They have also released their new WebFit App that aims to simplify the often confusing wedge grind dilemma.

PING s159 Wedge Features:

The s159 wedges are now offered in six different grind options, with two brand new grinds introduced for this series (the B and H grinds). As PING worked closely with their tour professionals on an updated design and look which would appeal to more golfers.

PING has included their Friction Face that combines face blast and their optimized precision-milled grooves for what they claim is "the launch and spin control to play score-lowering shots from every distance." Add in appropriately spaced MicroMax grooves depending on the loft; these wedges are packed full of technology.

All of their loft and grind combinations have been made available in two different finishes: The Hydropearl 2.0 Chrome and Midnight.

The WebFit Wedge App:

A simple step-by-step questionnaire based on what their wedge experts use to identify the best grinds and options for their tour pros, the WebFit app aims to simplify and find the best grinds and lofts for your game.
The entire process takes only a few minutes and provides several options that best suit your answers, making the choice of knowing what grind should work for you a whole lot simpler!

About The Testing Opportunity:

Four golfers will be selected to test, review, and keep a set of PING s159 wedges. Testers will go through the new PING WebFit Wedge App and then discuss their recommended specifications with a PING representative to dial in their specifications.

Sound like a test you want to be a part of?

I love that they included the gapping that would work best that is such a game changer. I'm planning on getting a new wedge later this month but would love the opportunity to try these bad boys out!

Wow what a great opportunity! I just replaced Vokey SM7’s with SM10’s. I would happily compare all 3 with on-course observations and launch monitor data… to not only share how the Ping wedges perform, but how they (new wedges) perform versus new and old Vokey wedges.

As a higher handicap player and one that plays with an old set of Ping clubs (Karsten III). I would love to test and evaluate to see if new technology helps improve your shot and score. May make me on the hunt to upgrade my irons. Technology upgraded my driver, which is the G425. I can’t get enough of that upgrade, let’s see if I can finish the upgrade if selected for this test.

Ping has always meant great clubs to me.  Decades ago as a caddy, all I could think of was owning a set of Ping Eye 2 irons.
I almost ordered a set from 2nd Swing this week.

This testing opportunity sent my "look a squirrel" brain off in all directions.
For any IT nerds (my brethren),  you might enjoy the review of The Story about Ping.

Wow, new set of wedges to test would be wonderful. I’ve had my present wedges for several years now and I believe it is time to update/upgrade them. This would be a fantastic opportunity to put new wedges into my game. Now will them come with instructions on how to hit them properly? Good luck to all.

I am seriously considering these wedges. Got fitted for the first time last summer (PING G430's) and its made a huge difference. Misses are much smaller with the correct flex for irons and driver. Now I want to get fitted for wedges to complete the set and really dial in my game. I have been working through the Short Game Chef program and that combined with great new wedges would be amazing for my game.

I currently use Vokey SM9 wedges alongside my Ping I230 irons. When I heard about these I knew I needed to try thenm out. I just got fit for a set of SM10's, but they didn't have S159's. Need to do a head to head!

I'd love to try this new fitting app and the wedges.  One gets comfortable with older technology and being a tester would be a great way to see what's new, how it will effect your game and share the experience with others.  Good luck to all who are chosen.

I’m pretty new to the forum but figured I’d give it a shot.  
 

As a high handicapper, I have a number of challenges, but I know that focusing on my game inside 120 yards is the key to lowering my scores and handicap.

I’ve long been a Ping fan, so having the opportunity to participate in this test would be a real treat.
