New Ping Wedges

Ping Tour-S Wedge Review By Julia Norman Golf Professional

The Ping Tour-S wedge is the new wedge for Ping. It is a traditional teardrop shaped head which sits nicely behind the ball. As manufacturers will not be able to sell non-conforming groove wedges after 2010, the Ping Tour-S wedge does have conforming grooves. 

There are two colour options, either brushed chrome or a rustic head. The rustic head comes in 52, 56 and 60 degree and the chrome comes in 47, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 58 /TS, 60, 60/TS and 64 degree. All options come in varying degrees of bounce to accommodate all types of players and courses.

The benefits of the Tour-S wedge is that it is a forgiving wedge, this is due to more weight around the edge of the club. This means if a player hits a ‘fat’ there will be more give in the shot. 

I tried the 56 degree and found a nice weight and feel to the wedge. I use the old Ping MB wedges which I love but the strike on the new Tour-S wedge felt more solid and consistent.
