Popular Post GolfSpy Barbajo 9,313 Posted March 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2017 (4) TESTERS WANTED PING Glide 2.0 Wedges Can PING's new wedges change your short game? For most golfers, the search for a new short game begins and ends with Vokey, Cleveland or Callaway – the Holy Trinity of Wedges. PING feels its new Glide 2.0 wedges should be part of that conversation, thanks to new sole grinds, improved groove technology and spin-preserving hydrophobicity (look it up). Add a host of no-upcharge shaft options and PING's legendary color-coded customization and you have a wedge the company feels belongs on the main stage. Testers Wanted!

Severtheties 816 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Jason Robinson Columbus, Ohio Bunker and short game, on most days, are a strength. However, midrange 100 yards or less are a challenge. I've been in search for wedges that allow me to improve my half to full wedge shot game. I'd be very excited to give these a go and see if I can finally find a good fit for my game! 50/SS/12*, 54/SS/12*, 58/SS/10*. Purple. CFS Wedge Shaft. Standard length.

adawson 49 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Andrew Nicholasville, KY 40356 I am a very good bump and run player. I struggle with higher lofted wedges when trying to hop and stop them on the green. I am better at imagining the roll of the ball rather trying to fly and stop it close to the pin. I also could improve out of bunkers. I would play 50/SS, 54/SS, and 58/ES. With standard length True Temper s300 shafts and MCC plus 4 grips.

Ballenbrandon 12 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Brandon Allen Pleasant Grove, Utah Strength: short chips up to half shots Weakness: anywhere from a half shot to full shots with my wedges. Tend to lose distance because I hit them too high. Set: 52*SS, 56*TS, 60*TS black dot all wedges in KBS tour stiff shaft. White dyla wedge grips. Thought about getting new wedges this year and was going to go with some new Callaway wedges but these might help me change my mind.

andyjake72 0 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Andy Willmar, MN Short game strengths: like green side bunker shots- shorter splash shots specifically. The right bounce is very important to me for these bunker shots. I'm a good 12 feet+ putter- make a decent amount of longer putts. Good lag putter on longer distances. Weaknesses: sometimes the 70-100 yard wedge shots balloon on me. I want more of a low-piercing flighted shot. I like to come in a bit lower with a one-bounce and stop shot. I'm looking for the following in right-handed: 56-SS 60-SS KBS Tour Reg. Shaft in both. Thanks! Andy Link to post Share on other sites
