I have a Ping Zing 2 BeCu SW that I'm considering putting back in my bag.  Its a holdover from a set of Zing 2's that I sold a few years ago (kind of wish I kept the set for sentimental reasons, but oh well).  I didn't want to sell the SW because I always figured I would end up putting it back in my bag.  Well, now may be that time.

I'm currently playing S56's and Vokey wedges.  My S56 PW is 47 deg and my Vokey's are 52 and 56.  I was going to swap out my 56 for the Zing 2, but after looking around on the web I was surprised to find that the Zing 2 SW's loft is 52.  The swap-out doesn't seem to make sense anymore because I don't want 2 52's and I don't want my Zing 2 to be my Gap wedge (it's an 18 bounce).

Does that make sense to anyone?  Why would the old wedges be so strong?

Thanks!

I wouldn't worry about the bounce, sole is wide.  The Zings have a SW that is 52, LS that is 57 and LW that is 61.  I think these irons came out before a wedge of that loft was officially called a "gap" wedge.

    • No rush. His blog post (I'm calling it that, because that's basically what it is) is probably from 2019. It seems to be from before the WHS was official. The first time it appears in the Internet Archive is 2021, though. But, I doubt they're crawling the Pope of Slope site all that often. 🙂 
    • At present all I can say is that this indicates a tremendous body of work. Congratulations. As yet I haven't analysed any of your or Knuth's contentions but superficially I lean your way. I am away for a few days or so so will study your analysis when I get back. But suffice to say - an impressive piece of work.  
    • Day 5 (5 Jun 26) - Played in the Friday men’s shootout, solid day for me with an 80 (39 / 41)….recent work on keeping connected with the arms tightened up the shot dispersion both front to back and left to right.  
    • Threw my last 9 holes into the Shot Pattern App (negative bad) Driving: -3.2, Approach: -0.6, Short: -4.5, Putting: -0.1 Good it matches my post round assessment. My intuition was pretty spot on. I need to get a few range sessions in on the tee shots. Too long, too much right-side bend.  I need to pivot better on my short game shots. Lots of flipping.
