The PING S159 Wedge - Midnight is engineered for precision and control across your short game. On full shots with lofts ranging from 46 to 52 degrees, the maximized groove volume ensures greater control, allowing for predictable ball flight and distance management into greens. As you transition to shorter shots and around the greens with 54 to 62-degree wedges, the tightly spaced MicroMax grooves come into play, generating significantly more spin. This allows golfers to execute delicate flop shots, stop the ball quickly on the green from greenside rough, or check pitches from the fairway.
The 8620 carbon steel construction paired with the elastomer insert provides a solid yet soft feel, giving golfers excellent feedback on strike quality. This responsive feel translates into improved touch and confidence, particularly on sensitive short game shots. The more-square lead edge is beneficial for cleaner contact on full wedge shots, reducing digging and improving turf interaction. With the friction-adding face blast, the wedge maintains consistent launch conditions and spin rates, crucial for attacking pins and saving strokes from various lies and distances.
Your PING S159 Wedge comes standard with the PING Z-Z115 shaft and the PING 360 Dyla-wedge Lite grip. These components are selected to provide a balanced feel and consistent performance. No assembly is typically required as the club comes ready to play.
The S159 Wedge is designed with an improved hosel transition and constant offset to seamlessly blend into PING's new Blueprint S and T irons, ensuring a consistent look and feel throughout your bag. The Midnight finish offers customization in lie angle, allowing adjustments of plus or minus two degrees from the standard lie angle to match your swing dynamics. The Chrome finish is available in all 10 PING color codes for further personalization.
To maintain the performance and longevity of your PING S159 Wedge:
Clean Grooves Regularly: After each round, or even after a few shots, use a wire brush and a damp cloth to clean debris from the grooves. Clean grooves are essential for maximizing spin and control.
Dry Thoroughly: Ensure the clubhead is completely dry before storing to prevent rust, especially with the 8620 carbon steel material.
Protect Finish: While the Midnight finish is durable, avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the club's appearance.
Inspect Grip: Periodically check the PING 360 Dyla-wedge Lite grip for wear. A worn grip can compromise control and feel. Replace it when necessary.
Storage: Store your wedge in a dry environment, ideally with a headcover to protect the clubhead from nicks and scratches during transport or storage.
