The PING s159 Chrome wedge is a tour-inspired short-game weapon engineered to deliver maximum spin, precise launch control, and unmatched versatility around the greens. With the addition of two new grinds and expanded loft offerings, the s159 series is available in 25 loft/grind combinations, allowing golfers to match a wedge precisely to their playing conditions and technique while ensuring a properly gapped set. Extensive testing with top PING tour players helped shape a wedge that performs at the highest level while remaining accessible to golfers of all abilities. Fitted here with the lightweight PING Alta CB Black graphite shaft, this version is ideal for players who prefer a softer, more responsive feel with a slightly higher launch.
The s159 head is investment-cast from 8620 carbon steel — the same alloy trusted by tour professionals — delivering a clean, eye-pleasing shape with a straighter lead edge that is especially beneficial on full shots. An elastomer insert sits behind the face to absorb harsh vibration and produce a soft, responsive feel at impact. The compact address profile features an improved hosel transition with constant offset, blending naturally into the PING Blueprint S and T iron family. Two performance-enhancing finishes — Hydropearl 2.0 Chrome and Midnight — are available across all 25 loft/grind combinations.
Finding the s159 wedges that bring out the best in your game is easier than ever with PING's new WebFit Wedge app. Simply answer a few questions about your short game — typical playing conditions, turf type, angle of attack, and shot preferences — and the app recommends the two grind options that suit your technique best. The entire process takes just a few minutes, with no downloading, no login, and no sign-up required. It is the fastest route to a properly fitted wedge set.
Wheel-cut grooves on the s159 are precision-milled to varying dimensions depending on loft, ensuring each wedge is optimised for the shots it plays most. The 46°–52° wedges feature a 20-degree sidewall milled to maximise groove volume, delivering greater control and consistency on full swing shots. The 54°–62° options use more tightly spaced MicroMax grooves specifically designed to impart maximum spin on shorter, greenside shots where stopping power is critical. The result is measurably more spin and launch control across every distance.
In addition to the precision-milled groove geometry, PING applies a friction-adding face blast across the entire face surface. This textured treatment creates micro-abrasions between the grooves that increase friction between the clubface and the ball, boosting spin rates across all shot types and conditions. Combined with the Hydropearl 2.0 chrome finish — which actively sheds moisture — the s159 delivers consistently high spin whether you are playing from a wet fairway, damp rough, or a firm and dry lie. Launch angles are controlled and predictable from any distance.
This graphite variant is fitted with the PING Alta CB Black shaft, a lightweight option available in Soft Regular (65g), Regular (72g), and Stiff (82g) flexes. The lighter weight promotes a slightly higher launch and a softer overall feel — ideal for players transitioning from irons with graphite shafts or those who prefer reduced fatigue on repetitive short-game practice sessions. The PING 360 Dyla-Wedge Lite grip is 3 inches longer than a traditional grip with a reduced taper, allowing golfers to choke down for more feel and trajectory control on delicate greenside shots.
The Hydropearl 2.0 chrome finish is PING's proven hydrophobic surface treatment that actively repels water droplets, preventing moisture from building up between the grooves and the ball at impact. This ensures that spin rates remain consistent — or even improve slightly — in wet, dewy, and rough-lie conditions where competing wedges often suffer significant spin loss. The chrome finish is available across all 10 PING color codes, giving fitters full flexibility to match lie angle across the entire set. The result is a wedge you can trust in every weather condition.
All variants in this product listing feature the S Grind, which is PING's most all-round sole grind and the most popular choice across the full s159 range. It is designed with ample mid-sole bounce to support solid contact on full approach shots from the fairway or rough. The heel and trail edge are relieved, providing the versatility needed to open the face and execute a range of greenside shots — from standard pitches to flop shots and bump-and-runs. A new 48° option within the S Grind helps golfers create the ideal gap between their pitching wedge and sand wedge. The S Grind is available in 46°, 48°, 50°, 52°, 54°, 56°, 58°, and 60°; this graphite listing covers 50°, 52°, 54°, 56°, 58°, and 60°.

The PING Alta CB Black graphite shaft is the stock shaft for this graphite wedge configuration. It is offered in three flex options to accommodate a range of swing speeds and feel preferences:
| Flex | Weight |
|---|---|
| Soft Regular | 65g |
| Regular | 72g |
| Stiff | 82g |
The graphite shaft produces swing weights 2 to 3 points lighter than the equivalent steel-shafted model, depending on flex. Achievable swing weights depend on shaft, length, and grip combinations.
| Loft | Grind | Bounce | Hand | Flex | Shaft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50° | S Grind | 12° | Right | Regular | PING Alta CB Black (Graphite) |
| 52° | S Grind | 12° | Right | Regular | PING Alta CB Black (Graphite) |
| 54° | S Grind | 12° | Right | Regular | PING Alta CB Black (Graphite) |
| 56° | S Grind | 12° | Right | Regular | PING Alta CB Black (Graphite) |

| 60° | S Grind | 10° | Right | Regular | PING Alta CB Black (Graphite) |
Notes: These are design specifications that may vary due to manufacturing tolerances. Lie angle is based on Black Color Code at standard length. The standard swing weights shown for the steel-shafted model use the PING Z-Z115 steel shaft. Standard swing weights for graphite-shafted clubs are 2 to 3 points lighter than shown, depending on shaft flex. Achievable swing weights depend on shaft, length, and grip combinations.
