I went into Golf Galaxy yesterday and left with a Ping Tour-W 52 deg wedge. I compared it side by side with a Ping I-wedge. I really liked both wedges but the Tour-W felt more solid on center hits. It is also fairly forgiving on misses too. I took it to the range this morning and it is has great feel. I've finally found my 100 yard and in club. It looks pretty good too, I got the brushed silver.

I have the Tour W in 52/56/60 and the 52 is my 100 yarder, I also use it for shorter chips (50 yards and under) I use my 56 for 80 yard shots and longer bunker shots, and 60 out of green side bunkers

Im thinking of getting a ping tour-w wedge. Is the thin sole one alot better?

The TS model will make it a little easier to open the face up (flop shots, etc). I have the non-TS version and I got a T-Grind done on my 60*. It basically makes it a TS club.

I agree with all of what has been said here already, the Tour-W wedges are great clubs.

I've used Vokeys and Mizuno wedges in the past, but can safely say that with the Pings you don't have to give up anything in terms of feel or control, despite them not being forged.

The only minor downside is that there are fewer loft/bounce combinations for Ping than there are for Vokey or Cleveland. I can live with that though!

Was on the Ping site earlier today, and the Ping wedges have evidently gone the Vokey route: Ping wedges now have several sole grinds to choose from.

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
