    Description

    PING’s new Glide Forged Wedges are forged with carbon steel for an unprecedented light feel. The compact, tour-inspired shape enables tour-level shot-making control and versatility. The club’s face is machined with wheel-grooves for lower launch and higher spin for a more refined, stable impact. With a gooseneck-tapered hosel, you can play smoothly through grass and sand, while the Hydropearl 2.0 chrome finish allows for easy play in wet grass.

    Features

    • Club head is made of forged 8620 carbon steel for an extremely soft feel and a tungsten weight in the toe for added forgiveness
    • A tour-inspired head shape, compact with a gooseneck-tapered hosel, gives control and versatility from any lie
    • CNC machined face with wheel-cut grooves produces a lower ball flight with higher spin.
    • The new sole and leading edge plays between a thin sole and standard sole

    Technology / Specs

    PING Glide Forged wedges offer high spin and the ability to hit a variety of shots thanks to the following features.


    Precision-Milled Grooves



    PING Glide Forged wedges use patented, precision-milled, wheel-cut grooves to generate incredible spin. The manufacturing process sharpens the edge radiuses of the groove, causing more friction on the golf ball for spin and control.


    Soft Feel and Forgiveness



    These wedges get their soft feel from making the head out of 8620 carbon steel. Besides the soft feel, 8620 carbon steel also helps with durability.

    A tungsten weight in the toe helps with forgiveness by adding perimeter weight, increasing MOI.


    Head Shape and Sole Design



    Designers took inspiration for the head design from input they got from Tour players as well as the PING Advisory staff. The head of the Glide Forged wedges is compact with a gooseneck-tapered hosel. The hosel helps the club slide through rough or sand with ease.

    The sole has a rounded leading edge and more heel-toe camber (roundness of the sole). Hitting a variety of shots is simple thanks to this sole design.
