The Ping Glide Wedge utilizes technology that makes it one of the best short game clubs ever manufactured. The Ping Glide Wedge received Golf Digest’s highest rating (Gold) on their annual Hot List. Two-time Masters Champion Bubba Watson has used the Ping Glide Wedge to play great golf for many years, and it can help you too. If you are looking for a consistent wedge that is engineered to perform every shot from around the greens, the Ping Glide Wedge could be the wedge for you.
Key Features
The Ping Glide Wedge is the first wedge to have its own specially-designed grip . The Dyla-wedge Grip is longer and allows players to choke down more and increase their control.
An innovative Tapered Sole helps reduce drag through the sand , making the Ping Glide Wedge ideal for bunker shots and heavy rough.
With four different grind options, players with every type of attack angle, which produces the perfect contact no matter what type of swing golfers use to execute wedge shots.
Design and Technology
The Ping Glide Wedge is one of the first wedges ever created that is engineered from the sole all the way to the grip. The Dyla-wedge Grip is ¾ of an inch longer; since most golf shots around the green are easier to play with a shorter club, this innovative new grip lets you grip farther down the shaft without having to touch metal, which can throw off your feel. We love this style of grip for wedges, and you will as well.
One of the keys of playing wedge shots from heavy sand and medium-to-long rough is for the club to cut through with as little resistance as possible, and the Ping Glide Wedge’s Tapered Hosel helps achieve less drag. By shallowing the hosel towards the clubface, the Ping Glide Wedge is able to slip through heavy grass and bunkers, which will help get the golf ball out and onto the green more consistently.
Optionality is important when it comes to wedges, and the Ping Glide Wedges offer four different sole grinds: Standard Sole (SS), Wide Sole (WS), Thin Sole (TS) , and Eye Sole (ES). The SS Grind is the most versatile and can be played from any lie. The WS Grind is ideal for softer conditions and for those who have steeper angles of attack, while the TS Grind works best on tight-firm lies and for golfers with shallower swing planes. Lastly, the ES Grind is perfect for bunker shots of all varieties. No matter what kind of shot you’re trying to play, there is a Ping Glide Wedge for you.

Our Experience
During our recent visit to Ping Headquarters, we had the opportunity to test the new Ping Glide 2.0 wedges alongside Senior Design Engineer, Marty Jertson.

The wedges are crafted from soft 431 stainless steel and come with a new hydropearl chrome finish that repels moisture, ensuring consistent performance in various conditions.
