Exactly what you said.For the first time, I can say that I legitimately like the looks of a PING wedge. Very nice!
They look fantastic. Can't wait to see how they feel.
l had a chance to demo these extensively last weekend. Liked them. Didnt love them tho and I dont know why. Loved the grip, and the new shaft. Id dont spin the ball well so its hard for me to comment on that. I loved the look of them. Feel is subjective, they were muted at impact, I thought they were softer than the tour gorge but who knows. I was pushing these left a bit and the fitter said its possibly the length. Jman u thought they were heavy? I actually thought they were light compared to other Ping offerings, granted I didnt have anything to compare it with in hand, but I just remember thinking they felt light. Again I liked them but werent smitten with them.
Ahhhh good point I was hitting the 50 the most. Thats y it felt light. U are wiseHead heavy, yes. They sit at a D4 in the 58, which is the same as the Cally Tour Grind but lower than the RTX 2.0 (D6). However, they are definitely more head heavy feeling than the Tour Grinds, really close to my 2.0 CB's for me actually.
Keep in mind, what loft you tried matters, D4 in these 58's, but progressively lighter in swing weight to PINGS pretty standard for them D2/D3 in the 47-56 range.
Solid write up man. I'm a huge fan of the CTP Ping has.
Sorry to want you in the elements but I hope you play in some wet conditions and can give some feedback on the moisture repelling finish. That sounds interesting.
Nice write up, Jman. I gamed the Anser wedges for a while and liked the head but didn't get along that well the DG Spinner.
I like the concept and they look pretty good to me.
I think more people underthink sole design in wedges than overthink it. Most people don't even understand how the sole/bounce work to begin with. We can bring overanalyzing into the conversation I guess, but the way the sole is shaped and angled will always have an effect on how the club plays. Finding what matches your swing and the conditions you play in is important if you want to get the most out of your wedges. And that doesn't even bring sand play into the equation. Much more important than something like shaft for example.
That said, are you seeing differing ball flights at all? Example for me would be the K grind SM5. Compared to a M grind I got a higher/softer flight on mid range pitches more often than not. They interacted with the sand quite differently as well. Anything you've noticed there with these?
