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 56* and 60* (with a grind from Ping) and I love them. Plenty of stopping power (spin) and great feel.

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.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
