More spin in any weather: Discover the new Ping s259 wedges. We break down the technology, all 6 sole profiles, and who they're best suited for.
With the introduction of the PING s259 wedges, Ping is setting new standards in wedge technology. The successors to the proven s159 series have been thoroughly refined to offer golfers the utmost versatility around the green. We’ll introduce you to the technical features and target audiences of the new Ping s259 Wedge series.
Material and Feel of the Ping s259 Wedges: 8620 Carbon Steel
The foundation of the Ping s259 wedges is a head made of 8620 carbon steel. This material guarantees first-class feedback at impact. A key innovation is the enlarged elastomer insert behind the face. This component optimizes vibration damping and delivers the soft, controlled feel that Tour players expect from a modern Ping s259 Wedge.

Maximum Friction: The Face Technology of the Ping s259 Wedges
For the s259 series, Ping has perfected the surface texture. The combination of precisely milled grooves (wheel-cut grooves) and innovative Face-blast Technology maximizes friction between the ball and the clubface.
Depending on the loft, the Ping s259 wedge offers specific technical advantages:
- 46° to 52° lofts: These models are optimized for full swings and allow for precise distance control when transitioning from the Iron set.
- 54° to 62° lofts: Here, the closer-spaced MicroMax grooves ensure a flat, penetrating flight path with high spin rates, even on short approach shots.
Thanks to the Hydropearl 2.0 Chrome coating, performance remains consistent even in wet conditions. Alternatively, the Ping s259 Wedge is available in the new matte Midnight finish, which minimizes glare and is exceptionally durable.
Versatility through 6 sole grinds: Find the right Ping s259 Wedge
With 25 different loft-grind combinations, the Ping s259 wedges cater to every swing type. The optimizations to the T- and E-grinds, in particular, demonstrate the attention to detail that has gone into the new series.
| Grind | Characteristics of the Ping s259 Wedge | Target Audience / Course Conditions | Available Lofts |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | The all-around wedge with heel and trailing edge relief. Mid-bounce design. | Broad target audience; suits many swing types and conditions. | 46°, 48°, 50°, 52°, 54°, 56°, 58°, 60° |
| H | Versatile half-moon design (inspired by Ping Wrx). | Players with a steeper attack angle; ideal for softer conditions. | 54°, 56°, 58°, 60° |
| B | Wide, flat sole with a low bounce profile. | Flat attack angles; firm ground conditions; for shots with a square clubface. | 58°, 60° |
| T | Aggressive grind with the lowest bounce (6°). | Technically skilled players; hard ground and “tight lies.” | 58°, 60°, 62° |
| W | Maximum width and plenty of bounce for maximum forgiveness. | Steep attack angles; significant shaft lean; soft ground or deep Rough. | 50°, 52°, 54°, 56°, 58°, 60° |
| E | Inspired by the legendary Eye2 design with a “dished” sole. | Specialists for Bunker and high, short shots from difficult lies. | 58°, 60° |
Innovative handling: The Dyla grip of the s259 series
A functional highlight is the new Ping Dyla grip. It has been extended by approximately 1.9 cm specifically to meet the demands of a Wedge. Subtle markings on the grip serve as reference points for golfers to “grip down.” This significantly increases versatility and precision when controlling the flight path.
Conclusion: Who are the Ping s259 wedges best suited for?
The Ping s259 wedges cater to a diverse target audience:
- Performance-oriented players: They benefit from the tremendous versatility of the various sole grinds and the high spin consistency under all conditions.
- Ambitious club golfers: The expanded lineup (e.g., W-Grind now also available in 50° and 52°) offers additional forgiveness and optimal loft gapping.
With the help of the PING WebFit Wedge app, golfers can quickly find the right setup to take their short game to the next level with the new PING s259 wedges.
