PGA61 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Ping S159 wedge, no cavity, only one wedge next year with more bounce options. Saw it a couple of days ago, looks like the Pro wedge they have had. To me, looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanya Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I hope it is in the style of a Vokey in terms of size & offset as if they go to more of a glide pro size & offset it will absolutely tank…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schaperb90 Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 If what everyone says about the new wedges is true, this is a huge disappointment. Glides tech is great, they just aren't popular because of their shape and rounded leading edge. I've said this before and I'll say it again. I have always loved ping. I think pings across the board are the most well thought out, well engineered clubs. I trust ping more than any other manufacturer, and they have great customer service too. There isn't all the marketing bs that comes with other companies. They don't follow the trends, like throwing more carbon at something for market purposes. I would love to have a whole bag of pings. But the mindset of pure engineering is also their achilles heel. Looks, sound, and feel and also extremely important. And every set I get excited about, has the same shortcomings as most every other ping. Their pros aren't stuck in random old models for no reason. I really hope they someday come to this realization, and break free of their GI reputation and have more offerings that better players want to play. A true ping t100 competitor, WITHOUT classic ping offset for example. All their wedge tech in a great shape, driving irons that aren't ugly as sin.... Anyways, I'm done with my rant sorry. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCP Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 It would be nice if the new ones were out now -- any more news on release date? I just tried to custom order a Glide 4.0 50, 54 and 60 and Ping was out of the 50 when my club tried to place the custom order. They had the 54 and 60 though.

Wooderson Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Please, I hope they don't mess up their wedges by getting away from what the Glide has been. I don't care that low caps and wannabe players are wanting a small, no offset, straight leading edge knife wedge. The majority of golfers don't NEED that. 4 Quote Let me tell you what Wooderson is packin' Sim2 9° Speeder NX Blue 6x Sim2 Max 16.5° Tour AD HD 7s Ping G430 21° Tour AD HD 8s Ping G430 25° Ventus Blue 8s Ping I210 5-PW Dart V 90s Ping Glide 3.0 GW/SW/LW Rossie 5k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftycabe Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) I agree with the consensus. I hope they don’t go to the glide pro shaping. Give me an esthetically updated 2.0 with stealth and raw options and you can have my money now. I had the stealth 2.0s and those are the best wedges I’ve had. I had a wrx grind on my lob wedge that was unreal. I’m still annoyed at myself for getting rid of them. Guess that’s the life of a ho.

Basically a Stealth 2.0 with the upgraded ctp insert and hydropearl tech of the 4.0 and more of the grinds that are offered through the wrx dept as standard options would literally be about as close to perfection.

Binson Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) I with Ping maintained two lines of wedges. A larger more traditional Eye style wedge (ex. High-toe, maybe add full face) and the Vokey-like competitor (Glide 2.0 like). Forcing the Eye-style into a smaller, more Vokey-like lineup makes the Eye-style pointless. Tour players pay it no mind and players who are in the market for a new Eye-style wedge set are used to bigger and more offset wedges anyway.
