So as a Christmas Gift to myself I went to a local school of golf to get an outdoor wedge fitting. Over a year ago, I fell in love with a set of Ping s55 irons. As a forged only player for my entire life, our love story was a rocky one, but today I wouldn't game another iron. With strong feelings for the irons in my mind, I began to wonder about some Ping wedges.
I've been hella inconsistent with my wedges since leaving the 4-5 hour a day practice sessions in college and despite success with the Mack Daddy 2's, I was ready for a change. I found an outdoor fitter to conduct a wedge fitting, spent about an hour with the Anser and Tour Gorged and ultimately went with the Tour. I ordered a 50 and a 56 SS to replace my 50 and 54. I really liked the idea of an extra 2 degrees of loft in my highest wedge (just recently stopped using the lob cold turkey). I placed the order and was quoted 5-7 days (this is the Friday before Christmas) and left. But on the way home I called the fitter and added a heel Ping WRX grind to the order.
Fully expecting the custom order to delay the wedges arrival, I was shocked when they showed on Christmas eve! I got home around 2 am and spent an hour chipping off the carpet. It was 100% love at first site. The finish is sick, the shape is perfect and the heel grind could not be more useful. I recommend that heel grind to anyone.
I haven't had a lot of chances to play since I received them until recently. But, with absolutely 0 practice my first 4 rounds of the year have been 79, 78, 77, and 77. Which is awesome, in my opinion. That last 77 was shot from the tourney tees at the Golf Club of Houston, home of the Shell Houston Open. The pic below depicts the results of a 30 yard bunker shot on number 6.
This is not a review, but...... I give these a 10/10!
