Ping S159 Wedges

Have 54/58. With the stock shaft they are much lighter than previous Vokeys, which was my goal.

The 58 is the E version, has old Eye shape and grind, and I’m growing to really like it. 54 with S grind is nice enough. Turf interaction similar to my Vokey which was M grind. Flights a bit higher, maybe slightly shorter. I thought the lighter weight might help with some issues I was having with short green side game. I do like the 54 and 58 both for those short shots.

I have a 50, 54 and 58 in black. I don't like them. They only hit the ball off of the toe.

It has been very good outside of the sand even on tight lies. It has also been very good inside the sand. Unlike my previous clubs, when you line it up, square it sits on the turf like a low bounce club. If you open it up even a little bit, it goes through the sand like a high bounce club. I can even use it to hit square faced bunker shots, which I actually do pretty often. so far I really like it. I have never personally played an original Eye wedge, but I know people who still swear by them.

My understanding is that’s the whole point of the Eye design. The bounce is dynamic, versatile, can be manipulated… However you want to describe it.
