The new wedges from Ping contain a smaller, forged 8620 carbon steel head and precision-machined grooves in design for predictable, consistent results.

The Tour-preferred shape on the new wedges is shorter heel-toe and through the hosel transition, accentuating the smaller profile to ensure the compact, captured look that the game’s best players favor.
A new Emery face blast adds friction in a bid to increase spin and control across a newly expanded range of lofts and specialized sole grinds to fit every player’s game.
The Hydropearl 2.0 finish on the wedges repels water in design for predictable, consistent performance in both wet and dry conditions.
Ping EYE2 Toe has that unique look at address.
S Grind (RH & LH)
The S Grind features a moderate bounce and rounded lead edge for the broadest appeal.

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
