gavinski91 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Thinking about new wedges next year, and when Mizuno announced the T24 I thought that would be the way to go. But then I saw the new Ping S159, and I think that's the new leader. If you were going to get new wedges next year, what would be your first choice right now as it stands - one of the new offerings? Or stick with a Vokey, MG4, or something else already released?

Shrek74 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) I have played forged "players" wedges for my entire golf career (35+ years) and I think it might be time to look for a more "forgiving" wedge going forward. At least for a little bit. I really like the look of the Mizuno S23's. They look way better than the E21's and have plenty of that forgiveness I want. The others would be the Ping Glide 4.0. Not the Pro's though. I might look at going back to Vokey since they're not fully forged wedges, but it would probably be Sm8's.

Also purchased the Ping glide pro in the 50* for a gapping wedge.

wely324 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I've been playing the glide 3.0's for a few years now. Ping is moving in the right direction with the new S159 line. Great looks with the addition of some new grinds and finishes. Hope they keep the same performance, maybe just a tad less spin on full shots. unccross 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Witch Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I hit the new Mizunos and loved the feel but they were a tad light for my liking. Not saying no but wanting to wait for the new kids to come in before I make my decision! Do we have any idea what the updates will be for the ping wedge other than shape? They already have the top-of-the-line face and grooves according to testing. I assume Vokey will update their faces to keep up with everyone and Cleveland will add a new tech to their maxed out wedge. All I can think of is more grinds or updated weighting (COG) unccross 1 Quote Cobra Aerojet LS 9.5* w/ Fujikura Ventus Blue S (with Velicore) Titliest TSi 18* Wood w/ Mitsubishi Tensei Blue Stiff Titliest TSr3 22* Hybrid w/ Accra Stiff Shaft Cobra KingTec 5-Iron w/ KBS Tour Stiff Cobra King Tour 6-Iron - PW w/ KBS Tour Stiff Titliest Vokey SM8 50* Titliest Vokey SM8 54* See More Nashville Edition Putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bens197 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I'm really considering the S159 as a replacement for my SM8 50* and depending on how that works, they may end up replacing the SM9 54 and 60 in my bag. The 50 is going on 3 years and needs to be retired and I really love the address photos of the new models...PING really did a nice job with their designs for this season. wely324, sirchunksalot and unccross 3 Quote Titleist TSi3 Fujikura Speeder NX Blue 60X TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X Titleist U505 2 Tensei 1K Black 85 X Titleist T100 4-P Nippon Modus 3 120X PING S159 50-S 55-H 59-T DG X100 Vokey SM8 50, SM9 54 & 60 Nippon Modus 3 120s L.A.B.

Yeah, I think the only wedge technology bump lately has been the hydropearl finish (different brands call it different things) that keeps spin up in wet conditions. Other than that it's replace when the grooves wear out, and find something that looks good to you at address (which of course is a totally personal thing). unccross, bcanini and KC Golf 3 Quote Driver - Radspeed XB, Aldila Rogue Silver 70-S 3 Wood - Radspeed, Aldila Rogue Silver 70-S 5 Wood - Radspeed, Fujikura Motore X F3 6-S Utility - Pro 225 3i, Mitsubishi MMT 105S Irons - Pro 225 4-5, 223 6-PW, KBS $-Taper 120 Wedges - King Cobra Snakebite 52° & 58°, KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 S Putter - Stroke Lab Black Ten 35" Ball - Chrome Tour Powered by 2020 ExPutt Official Review | 2021 Cobra Connect Five Participant | 2023 SuperSpeed Official Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wely324 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Getting close to s159 pre order and release date. Looks like 2/13/24 pre orders open. would love to pre order but also would like to see the new wedge grinds first.
