FAQs

How do I choose the right grind for my S259 wedge?

The Ping WebFit Wedge app is designed to help you select the best grind based on your swing characteristics, typical course conditions, and preferred shots. You can also consult with a golf professional for personalized advice.

What is the main benefit of the Hydropearl 2.0 Chrome finish?

The Hydropearl 2.0 Chrome finish is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water. This helps maintain consistent spin and control, especially in wet or damp conditions.

Can I use these wedges with any golf shaft?

Yes, the S259 wedges are designed to be compatible with standard golf shafts. However, they come equipped with the lightweight Z-Z115 shaft, engineered to complement the wedge's performance characteristics.

What makes the spin generation so high on these wedges?

High spin is achieved through a combination of precise wheel-cut grooves, advanced face-blast technology that enhances surface texture, and the overall design aimed at maximizing friction at impact.

How does the elastomer insert improve feel?

The larger elastomer insert in the 8620 carbon steel head helps to dampen vibrations at impact, providing a softer and more pleasing feel for the golfer.

Are there different loft and bounce options available within each grind?

Each grind has specific loft options available. For example, the S Grind is available in a wide range of lofts from 46° to 60°, while others like the B Grind are available in fewer lofts (58°, 60°).

What is the purpose of the DylaGrip?

The DylaGrip is a proprietary grip engineered to advance wedge performance. It is longer than standard with a reduced taper and features markings that indicate optimal hand positions for versatility, gripping down, and manipulating the clubface.

Troubleshooting

Reduced spin on shots

Ensure the clubface and grooves are clean and free of debris. Check for excessive wear on the grooves, which may indicate the need for replacement. Verify you are making solid contact with the ball.

Inconsistent turf interaction

Consider if the selected grind is appropriate for the course conditions (firm vs. soft) and your angle of attack. Consult the WebFit Wedge app or a golf professional to ensure you are using the most suitable grind.

Wedge feels less responsive

Check the grip for any signs of wear or slickness. Ensure the club is clean. The feel is influenced by the elastomer insert; ensure it is intact and free from damage.

Chrome finish appears dulled or scratched

The Hydropearl 2.0 Chrome finish is durable but can be scratched by abrasive materials or impacts. Clean with a soft cloth and avoid using abrasive cleaning agents. Minor cosmetic wear is normal with use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Ping S259 wedges are designed to be integrated into your existing set of clubs. The proprietary DylaGrip is ¾” longer than standard, with a reduced taper and clear indicators for gripping down, adjusting shaft lean, or manipulating the clubface. This allows for customized setup based on the shot required.

Compatibility: These wedges are compatible with standard golf club sets and shafts. The Z-Z115 shaft is engineered for optimal wedge performance, but the wedges can also be fitted with other shafts that match your swing dynamics. The WebFit Wedge app, available for smartphones, is a helpful tool for determining which grind best suits your individual swing characteristics and playing style.

Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your S259 Chrome Wedges:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the clubface and grooves clean with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, grass, and debris. This is crucial for maintaining friction and spin.
  2. Drying: Ensure the wedge is thoroughly dried after cleaning to prevent rust or oxidation, especially on the machined surfaces.
  3. Storage: Store your wedges in your golf bag with headcovers if desired, protecting them from scratches and impacts.
  4. Groove Maintenance: Periodically inspect the grooves. While durable, excessive wear can impact spin. Use a groove tool sparingly if necessary, being careful not to damage the face milling.
