With the addition of two grinds and new lofts, the tour-style s159 wedges are available in 25 loft/grind combinations to match a wedge to your playing conditions and technique while ensuring a properly gapped set. Extensive testing with top PING tour players helped create wedges that will appeal to golfers of all abilities. The Midnight finish gives these tour-proven clubs a bold, stealthy look that stands out in the bag, and it is available in every loft/grind combination. The new WebFit Wedge app provides a quick and easy way to determine which s159 grinds best fit your game — no download, no log-in required.
The tour-inspired 8620 carbon steel head is investment-cast to an eye-pleasing, compact shape with a straighter lead edge that is especially beneficial on full shots by aiding alignment and delivering cleaner contact. An elastomer insert placed directly behind the clubface contributes to a soft and responsive feel at impact while also helping achieve the proper swingweight. At address, the compact profile features an improved hosel transition with constant offset, blending seamlessly with PING's Blueprint S and T irons. The Midnight finish offers a bold, non-glare look, available in five colour codes covering ±2° from the standard lie angle.
Finding the s159 wedges that bring out the best in your game is easier than ever with PING's new WebFit Wedge app. Answer a few straightforward questions about your short game — your angle of attack, typical face position, and preferred turf conditions — and the app recommends the ideal grinds and lofts within minutes. No downloading, no log-in, and no sign-up are required; simply open it in your browser and get your recommendation instantly. It is the fastest route to a properly fitted wedge set for golfers of every ability level.
Wheel-cut grooves are precision-milled to varying dimensions depending on loft, ensuring the right amount of spin and control at every distance rather than simply maximising raw spin. The 46°–52° wedges feature grooves with a 20-degree sidewall milled to maximise groove volume, channelling debris and moisture away on full-swing shots for consistent contact. The 54°–60° options carry more tightly spaced MicroMax grooves so that more groove edges engage with the ball on short, finesse shots around the green, generating maximum stopping power. In combination with the friction-adding Starblast face treatment, the s159 delivers the launch and spin control needed to play score-lowering wedge shots from every distance.
PING applies a Starblast face blast to each s159 head, adding a layer of surface roughness across the entire face that increases friction between the clubface and the ball at impact. This texture works in concert with the precision-milled grooves to enhance grip on the ball even from wet rough or tight fairway lies, providing more predictable launch conditions and more consistent spin rates. The result is a wedge face that performs reliably whether you are playing a full gap wedge approach or a delicate greenside chip. Independent testing has confirmed that the s159 consistently outperforms competitors in wet conditions.
The standard steel option is the lightweight PING Z-Z115 shaft by Nippon, which features a lower balance point for enhanced feel at the clubhead. For golfers who prefer a lighter, softer option, the PING ALTA CB Black graphite shaft is available in Soft Regular (65 g), Regular (72 g), and Stiff (82 g), producing swing weights that are 2 to 3 points lighter than the steel equivalent depending on flex. The standard grip is the PING 360 Dyla-Wedge Lite, which is 3 inches longer than a traditional wedge grip with a reduced taper diameter, allowing golfers to choke down for added versatility and trajectory control. Achievable swing weights depend on the chosen shaft, length, and grip combination.
The S Grind is PING's core, bread-and-butter sole grind, which explains why it covers the widest loft range: 46°, 48°, 50°, 52°, 54°, 56°, 58°, and 60°. It is designed with ample bounce in the mid-section to handle full shots confidently while the heel and trail-edge relief provides greenside versatility for golfers who like to open the face for flop shots or tight lies. The new 48° option in the s159 lineup specifically helps golfers with stronger-lofted iron sets (42°–44° pitching wedges) close the gap between their irons and their next wedge. The S Grind suits a wide variety of conditions, swing techniques, and turf types, making it the ideal starting point for most golfers.
